Good question.  Eric was talking to some people a few months ago  
about this, IIRC.

A couple of months ago, quite a few people committed to going to the  
sprint.  One came from Brazil.  Let's remember that this isn't a non- 
trivial commitment. :^)  If I traveled from Brazil, then found out  
there was activity and I wasn't being informed, I'd be disappointed.

I'm willing to commit.  I have something that works, along with a  
writeup.  Whether the team finds it valuable, I don't know.  I'm also  
willing to volunteer to contact people, share information about the  
project, and get participation.

Several people have expressed an interest in having an ECMS sprint at  
EuroPython.  philiKON brought this to our attention on May 9.  Does  
he know about this list?
