[Python-Dev] Global Python Sprint Weekends: May 10th-11th and June 21st-22nd.

[Thomas Lee]

Anyone in Melbourne, Australia keen for the first sprint? I'm not sure 
if I'll be available, but if I can it'd be great to work with some 
others. Failing that, it's red bull and pizza in my lounge room :)

I've been working on some neat code for an AST optimizer. If I'm free 
that weekend, I'll probably continue my work on that.

Cheers,
T
