# 2023-07-15 SciPy 2023 conda sprint

Sprints are officially from 9:30 am to 6:00 pm at room TBD of the SciPy 2023 conference venue.

TODO(?): Link to conda developers and sprint Matrix room(s)

## What is this sprint for?

Sprints are open for everyone who is interested in contributing to the various projects in the conda ecosystem (e.g. projects under the [conda](https://github.com/conda), [conda-incubator](https://github.com/conda-incubator), [mamba-org](https://github.com/mamba-org), [conda-forge](https://github.com/conda-forge) GitHub organizations), what we call "conda and friends".

See the [New to sprints?](#New-to-sprints-Start-here) section below for more information about how sprinting works.

## New to sprints? Start here

Basically a sprint is an excuse for people to focus their undivided attention, for a set timeframe, on improving a project or set of projects, in our case conda and friends. It's a focused, scheduled effort to test, fix bugs, add new features and improve documentation. Or just have fun with new stuff. No, it's not a Scrum thing.

For more information, view [Brett Cannon's introductory talk from PyCon 2009](https://archive.org/details/pyvideo_144___pycon-2009-plenary-intro-to-sprinting), or read [Eric Holscher's blog post](https://ericholscher.com/blog/2009/nov/16/you-should-stay-sprints/).
