All contributions will be used to cover expenses for sprint participants in the following priority order: 

  1. Sprint venue and accommodation for students (same facilities in question)
  2. Food for student participants
  3. T-shirts for students

  5. Travel expenses of students
  6. Freebies for plonistas too 

 


Plonistas vs. EESTECers

The sprint will be divided into 2 parts/groups:

Plonistas

'Normal' Plone guys, sprinting on general Plone topics. They have to cover most of the expenses themselves.

 

EESTECers (http://eestec.net/lc/helsinki/it-sauna-sprint)

EESTEC is a non-political, non-profit organization of and for Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) students at universities, institutes and technical schools in Europe awarding an engineering degree.

Since this sprint is an official EESTEC event, all accommodation and food expenses for students are covered by the organizer, LC Helsinki. The main thing that the students need to cover themselves are their travel expenses. However, if we are lucky and get lots of sponsors and donations, we'll be able to cover a part of these expenses as well.

EESTEC sprinters will be divided into smaller groups based on their experience with Plone. During the sprint they will get introduced to Plone, how to use is as a power user and how to develop with it. Those with previous experience will work on documenting and bugfixing eestec.net,  EESTEC's Plone portal.

If you are an EE student, consider joining EESTEC!

 

Sprint Venue

We'll have gigabit internet with WLAN connectivity. 

Free sauna in the same building, everyday till 3am.

We have the place for ourselves for 24/7 so through-the-night coding sessions are possible.

EESTEC students will be sleeping in the same building. There is also a kitchen where those who are on a budget can prepare food. Ingredients for students will be covered. 

 

Bonuses, free for all, including Plonistas
