Welcome to the 2018 Global Sprint Planning Repo!

This year's sprint takes place on May 10 and 11, 2018.

At the Sprint, contributors and project leads gather in person to work and hack on open projects, learn new skills, and hang out together at local host sites. For those not near a host site, virtual participation is encouraged. The 2018 Sprint will bringing together contributors from all corners of the network-- educators, devs, researchers, librarians, activists, and designers-- to collaborate on code, curriculum, and tools.
