You may not want to wait that long, but having a hackfest at Pycon 2011 in Atlanta in March would be a good idea. The sprints are free to attend, and well-supported by the PSF and its sponsors. Of course, individual members have to arrange their own travel, room and board, but even there, the PSF does provide some limited sponsorship for individuals. >The venues being considered right now are: Boston, Miami, Paris, >Bolzano, Cambridge (UK), Berlin and Prague.

Definitely! Once a location, time frame, and rough budget is established I'd be happy to try to reach out to the PSF board to see if they can sponsor part of it. -Barry
