sounds like a great idea!

I'd like to first try to get clear on where we are going to do the
sprint and then recommend accomodation around it.  This might last until
beginning march which i think is still perfectly fine.  Also 1-2 persons
can easily sleep in a guest room of my private flat, maybe i can arrange more.
We should reserve these for those whose company does not pay their accomodation.

I've started a page to record arrival/departure dates and travelcost
funding (if applicable):

    https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/wiki/sprint2016

If everyone could edit their current planning in that'd be helpful.

best,
holger

My costs will be covered my by company, so it’s not dependant on the campaign. For accommodation, are we all going to try to book the same hotel, or should I just go ahead and find something myself?
