Re: Doc Sprint Amsterdam

Hi all,

The eventbrite page is live:
http://web-platform-doc-sprint-amsterdam.eventbrite.com/ and there's also a
page live on the Fronteers site:
http://fronteers.nl/bijeenkomsten/2013/web-platform-doc-sprint-in-amsterdam

Let me know if anything needs to be changed.

Paul.
