I asked, and ITA seems willing to provide a conference room or two with<br>
Internet for sprinters. I will try for official signoff given more<br>
details like dates and # of people.</blockquote></div><div><br>Great. Thanks for setting this up. <br></div></div>

Is there an official number of people yet?<br><br>For what it's worth, two people thus far (Jim Fulton and David Sturgis) have told me that it would be a lot easier to make this if it extended over a weekend, as it would be easier to attend without taking time off of work. I suspect there may be others for whom this is true. I realize that many international participants can take <i>less</i> time off work by traveling on the weekend.<br>
<br>But, as Jonathan Lange put it in his July 14th email, "as of Friday, July 17th, the date & city will be set in concrete, even if I can't attend". Has the concrete dried yet? Should we try to extend it over a weekend, or should we just schedule another sprint before or after?<br>
