Everyone loves a good code sprint... or do they? 2007 brought you the one-day sprint (with the GeoToolsers and uDiggers going for an extended weekend sprint). 2008 brings you another day. 2009 is still thinking about it.
How much sprinting would you do? 1, 2, 3, 5, 7 days? I am wondering if the right way to handle the sprints is to turn them from something the conference quietly subsidizes to something that OSGeo pays for directly. That way the conference organizers don't feel like they are having it taken out of their hide, and it can be as long as people like. Also, it fits directly into the OSGeo mission of promoting the development of the software. Book-keeping-wise it's a left-pocket-to-right-pocket transaction for OSGeo, but from a authority and decision making PoV it removes the issue from the plate of the conference team and puts it into the hands of the software promoting team (whomever they may be).
