At last, so called Sauna Sprint 2010 has been announced. First of all, cheers to Nejc and Joni for all the work done.

What is the story behind the Sauna Sprint? At the end of 2009, EESTEC IT team had a sprint at Chairpersons meet in Skopje (we had a great time, big thanks to organizers!). We created from scratch the new eestec.net portal (fully open-sourced and documented).

So, the idea came to make a sauna sprint, hosted by Joni in Helsinki, that would eventually make Plone itself a tiny bit better world by our small team. Some of our experienced Plone developers will be introducing newcomers to Plone CMS. More details about the whole week can be found at plone.org.

Leaning to the darker side of the story, I'm still a student and returning airplane ticket for Ljubljana <-> Helsinki is about 400$ 300$ at the moment. As I currently don't see an option to collect the money in given time, I have opened chipin account for anyone willing to give me a hand. Nevertheless, I have been contributing to Plone in the past.
