Looks like fun.  I'm sorry I won't be able to make it from over here in 
Japan.

Are there any plans for code sprints?  I'm not sure what they would be 
about ... maybe implementing missing functionality for Tango, or 
possibly related to the Win32 headers or something.  Just a thought.  Or 
maybe documentation sprints?  Seems a shame to get so many coders 
together and not code something.
