It's about time we scheduled an official Django sprint. We've got a
bunch of features that are almost done but haven't yet been
committed/merged -- including newforms-admin, ORM aggregate support,
multi-DB support and GeoDjango. Plus, we've got almost 1,000 open
tickets in our ticket system. Let's spend 24 hours (or maybe even more
than a single day?) to get some of this done in an organized fashion,
and also to encourage new people to contribute.

I propose Friday, September 14. Some reasoning:

* It gives potential participants a week+ to plan ahead, but it's not
so far in the future that we get impatient waiting for it.

* If there's a ton of excitement and momentum, the sprint can continue
into the weekend, without interrupting any other weekdays/workdays.

* For developers who will request that their bosses/companies give
them time off, a Friday is probably the easiest day to argue for,
considering it's the least productive day of the week.

* By then, Malcolm's query.py refactoring will have landed and will
have had a few days to percolate.

Obviously we'll have to figure out the international issues, regarding
how we'll communicate across time zones and structure the work. But
I'm throwing this idea out there to get things moving.
