[Toronto-dev] School Server Hack Sprint (Feb 7-11, Toronto)

[Holt]

Plz join 6PM Toronto/NYC time if you care about conscientious organic 
productizing of school servers for Sugar, XOs and eventually beyond, thanks!

Eight of us just outside Toronto would love to hear others' thoughts on 
strategic direction for deployments {small, medium, large} if you can 
join tonight's voice (Skype) call!
