Lightning Talk: Sprints

on YouTube ↗05m

" summary

Explains what a Sprint actually looks like: a Sprint kickoff with 30‑second project pitches, lots of bite-sized issues created on GitHub for new contributors, and leaders roaming tables to pair-program and assign tasks. Emphasizes hands‑on learning — people learn git and jQuery in an afternoon (PyCon 2009 example) while contributing to real projects, collaboration over competition, low cost (venue and pizza), and projects ranging from local code to major ones like Jupiter or Jango or flask.
