Hi Everyone!
We're going to be hosting a sprint at DrupalCon Austin on Friday, June 6th.
A "sprint" is an event where a group of people get together to work on something for a few hours. Sprints aren't limited to technical people or coders - at our sprint there will be tasks for people with any skillset allowing everyone to contribute equally.
Here is a documentation describing all the ways you can contribute:

If you're going to be in Austin next week, I really hope you'll join us on Friday!
The sprint will last all day from 9am to 6pm, but you're free to come and go as you please. It will be at the Austin Convention Center - where DrupalCon will be too, but you don't need to be registered for the conference in order to participate in the sprints.
Of course, there will also be the opportunity to sprint on Drupal 8 core and a number of other contrib projects will also be having sprints:

See you next week!
Best regards,
David.

The sprint went great!
The sprint went great! Thanks to everyone who came. :-) In total, there were about 10 sprinters (people joined and left through out the day) and everyone was able to take at least one issue to the next stage.
We were even able to take advantage of being in the same room with maintainers from other projects: Caroline Boyden was able to get an accessibility patch to CTools/Panels reviewed in person by Jakob Perry (one of the maintainers of those projects)!
Anyway, it was lots of fun and I can't wait until the next Panopoly sprint. :-)
