William and I are planning three workshops in the next four months and we
have funding available to support attendees.  If you're seriously
interested in attending one (or more) of these please e-mail me
immediately.  A priori we have no restrictions on where you're flying from
and we don't need a commitment quite yet; we do need to gauge interest
however in order to start planning.  Funded participants will have housing
and travel covered.

Here's a description of the workshops.

*Review Days*

The purpose of this workshop will be twofold.
* Review some of the 275 tickets currently needing review.
* Improve Sage's review and testing infrastructure.  This may include
setting up a system that allows line by line comments (like Google's
internal Perforce system, or the open source versions Rietveld or Review
Board), requiring authors of tickets to suggest a reviewer and setting up
systems to provide defaults, fixing patchbot and finishing the new
doctesting code (#12415)

The tentative dates for Review Days are March 17-22.

*Doc Days*

The goals for this workshop will be:
* Improve Sage's doctest coverage
* Restructure Sage's documentation and help to be more useful and friendly
to new users
* Write more documentation

The tentative dates for Doc Days are April 17-22.

*Bug Days*

This will be a standard bug days where our goal is to squash as many bugs
as we can.

The tentative dates for Bug Days are May 17-22 (partly for symmetry: the
dates for this workshop are somewhat more flexible).
