Python Team Sprint: poll to find best dates (deadline, September 10th)
Thanks to everyone who replied [1]. I think there is enough interest for this to be worth organising. Here's a poll to find the best dates for the sprint: https://deb.li/38VrF There are only 2 options, Oct 28-29-30 & December 2-3-4. We could have a pretty long debate on dates, but I'm making it simple by restricting it to those 2 options :) Please answer the poll before September 10th if you are interested in participating. Once we have a date, I'll create a proper wiki page.
