I have just sent out emails asking for specific details for food and so 
on to the 31 emails provided to me, thank you all for indicating your 
intent.

If you would like to attend the code sprint and did not receive an email 
from this email address anteaya at anteaya dot info (check your spam 
folder, please) please email me and ensure I add you to the list.

I look forward to hearing from you all as soon as possible so I can 
submit my budget for the event.

My thanks,
Anita.
