DocComm Sprint Update
From Day 2 at Google, here is a quick update for GetPaid progress (links to where to get what ya need)
DocComm sprint got underway at Google's headquarters in Mountain
View, CA yesterday. We had a great start with a solid team of a dozen
people.
To catch up on progress, check out: 
- Sprint objectives, including tasks

- Get the source latest version!
- If you already have it, please update your code ("svn up") and reinstall the product.
Thanks to all of the sponsors of the sprint! This is a momentous movement for the project.

Thanks! Sponsors Make it Possible
A special thanks to all of the sponsors of the Red Ochre release of GetPaid! You probably saw our ChipIn fundraiser over the last months as we worked on a "social source" funding model for the project. Of the estimated $7,500 cost of the first release, we raised $7,300! This has enabled us to get dedicated development time - in progress now - in contributing to the architecting and development of the product. Thank you so much for our sponsors and everyone who has contributed.
We couldn't have done it without you! Thanks to all who have contributed to this project and supported our efforts.

Time to get ready for doccom sprint at Google!
We are coming close to the time of the "doccom" sprint at Google (June 25-29). If you are planning to attend - time to get serious about details and logistics!! We still have room for more people, so please join us if you can!
First, if you are planning to attend, make sure your name is here:
http://www.openplans.org/projects/doc-and-e-commerce-sprint/interested-attendees
and that you have made your lodging plans clear here:
http://www.openplans.org/projects/doc-and-e-commerce-sprint/roommate
Second, make sure you get there! If you are traveling to the Bay area, act fast for tickets (AirTran has a sale through Tuesday; I just picked up tickets on Delta for good price). You can check out the sprint logistics page here: http://www.openplans.org/projects/doc-and-e-commerce-sprint/logistics
We have 10 rooms in a hotel for the entire sprint and are arranging for vans to transport us to Google. The organizers' fundraising
efforts have helped to cover hotel (shared room) and local transport costs, but you are responsible for getting there and for daily meals,
incidentals, etc.
If you know of any other potential sponsors, PLEASE let us know ASAP! We would love more support for this great opportunity to advance both commerce and documentation for Plone!
