Hi Paul,
Just a couple of points:
- Since the event isn't until October, I would wait with posting to the
blog until all the details are worked out (exact location, Eventbrite,
etc.) before posting on the WPD blog
- I'd vote for removing the paragraph "If you run a meetup, user group
or other community, and are..." unless there is a strong focus on that (may
be confusing)
- Are we using #wpds as a hashtag for our Doc Sprints? It is not very
descriptive. We used webplatformdocsprintSF at the last one (granted, it's
a lot longer, but a little bit more meaningful)
- I would also mention the Fronteers conference in the post (something
like "this event takes place on Saturday October 12th—the day after the
Fronteers conference.)
- The sprint is really close to the date of the first anniversary of Web
Platform. Maybe we can mention that--come celebrate by helping out! <insert
picture of a giant cake in the form of the WPD logo>.
