Here is a message from Ben Wolfe regarding the OpenMRS book sprint. Can

Very cool!  Whats the standard size of an fm sprint?  We could provide 
5-10 people easily probably and it seems like there would be another 
5-10 from the FM comm.  I would guess another 5-10 from the openmrs comm 
would want to help too.

Its usually a week, right?  And how important is it for everyone to be 
in the same place?
