Hi Zach,

Thanks for proposing this sprint! It is more than needed.

As Lucas noted, we usually rely on Debian-friendly organizations to host our
meetings or other facilities who can offer co-working spaces as part of the
accommodation (like the LinuxHotel in Germany, but this can be arranged with
regular hotels as well I guess).

Were potential attendees polled about the dates and location that would work
the best for them? For example, as a volunteer organization, we heavily rely
on volunteers. The proposed dates are during working days. So this may be an
obstacle for some contributors. Also, was the choice of location based on a
list of potential attendees?
