Code Sprints

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

• please note our Code Sprint Guidelines ask for event details, budget and fundraising on your part.
• Code sprint funding is setup to help carry funds from one event to the next allowing us to hold more code-sprints with a smaller annual 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
