Call for Participants: Rev Coding Sprint 2010

[Björnke von Gierke]

I'm generally interested. One day sprints is the only way I'm doing my coding anyway, tho normally that day is randomly picked, based on to me unknown factors. So most likely I won't be actually able to participate, despite all the interest in the world...
