Re: Email to Doc Sprint registrants

Looks good, Julee.
Do you want to mention the upcoming SF doc
sprint<http://www.sfhtml5.org/events/109202662/>at all?
It is "sold out" but we have a wait list and I am pretty sure I can open
quite a few spots up.
Note that in addition to the 125 on meetup, we also have 50 registered via
HTML5 Dev Conf.
