(original) (raw)

I can't afford to attend PyCon beyond the language summit and the conference itself this year (down to about my last year of my PhD and need every last dime I have left in saving to avoid school debt), so for the first time since PyCon started back in 2003, I have to miss out on attending the sprints.

That means my traditional role as sprint coach for the core is up for grabs for someone else to take on. Since early-bird registration is open for about a month (ends Jan 6) I wanted to get this email out now instead of wait in case it influences someone's plan to attend the sprints.
