[python-advocacy] NeedForSpeed: short item

[A.M. Kuchling]

Here's a short blurb about the Need For Speed sprint that begins
tomorrow; feel free to post it or send it to relevant sources.  
I'll submit it to Slashdot, which will probably reject it in an hour
or two, and to Linux Weekly News.

	Imagine spending a week in Iceland to hack on software!  A
	bunch of Python developers will be doing just that, starting
	tomorrow, as <a
	href="http://wiki.python.org/moin/NeedForSpeed/">the
	NeedForSpeed sprint</a> begins.  Two companies, EWT LLC and
	CCP, are sponsoring the sprint.  <a
	href="http://wiki.python.org/moin/NeedForSpeed/Goals">The
	sprint's goals</a> are primarily performance-oriented, because
	both companies use a lot of Python code where speed matters.
