Code Sprints
We have asked project teams for guidance to help set our code sprint budget:

 * Out priority is to share the risk with organizers allowing access to funds early to book facilities as required
 * We had requests to fund sprints that were part of larger events, these escaped our 2017 planning but were still funded to the best of our abilities
