The One Where Adrian Creates A Monster

Less than 48 hours ago, Adrian floated the idea of having a Django code sprint next Friday. One might have thought the even though it was a Friday and only a week away would have meant we might get a few dozen people attending.
As I write this, 73 people have indicated they'll be attending (in at least a virtual sense) on the wiki page! Very encouraging. A little scary, too. We're going to have to be a bit organised before hand to avoid looking like the online equivalent of the car chase scene from the first Blues Brothers movie (although Adrian, being enthusiastically a man of Chicago, probably wouldn't mind that happening).
Personally, I'm going to write down some triaging and testing tips and see if some "guide to Django codebase" notes I have are in a form I could put them up without looking like an idiot. Somehow I have to do this without taking time off from rewriting queryset code. Guess that's why I have two hands.
(People interested in participating should remember that Friday is a long day once you start in New Zealand and finish in Hawaii. So you can still participate even if you can't take a day off work or get your employer's blessing to participate. Plus, the odds of it rolling into Saturday and/or Sunday out of momentum aren't too bad, either.)
