+========================================================
+Vilnius/Post EuroPython PyPy Sprint 10-12th of July
+========================================================
+
+The PyPy team is sprinting at EuroPython again and we invite
+you to participate in our 3 day long sprint at the conference hotel
+- Reval Hotel Lietuva.
+
+If you plan to attend the sprint we recommend you to listen to the PyPy
+technical talks (`EuroPython schedule`_) during the
+conference since it will give you a good overview of the status of development.
+
+On the morning of the first sprint day (10th) we will also have a
+tutorial session for those new to PyPy development.  As 3 days is relatively
+short for a PyPy sprint we suggest to travel back home on the 13th if
+possible (but it is ok to attend less than 3 days too).
+
+------------------------------
+Goals and topics of the sprint
+------------------------------
+
+There are many possible and interesting sprint topics to work on - here
+we list some possible task areas:
+
+* XXX fill me
+* some JIT improvement work
+* port the stackless transform to ootypesystem
+* other interesting stuff that you would like to work on ...;-)
+
+------------
