Interested in this and asking the team who is in Boston if this works for them (I live in Baltimore)

We are doing a code sprint in Boston to launch CodePupil (http://codepupil.com). We haven't yet set the weekend for our sprint, but this sounds great!

Well if this posted by the organizer or a friend of the organizer could a spot be saved for us? I will know if the team is available by tomorrow.

That's cool! I'm organizing a Startup Weekend in June in Frankfurt/Germany right now and think about doing such an event to pull the community closer together.

Do you have any experience how such events work generally?

Sounds intriguing, just signed up. Don't have an excuse to not try to bang out some work that's been sitting on the back burner.

Like the idea - unfortunately I will not be in Boston that weekend. Hope it happens again.
