[FM Discuss] Stats needed for FLOSS Manuals presentation at Debian conference

[Janet Swisher]

In April, Anne and I used this list of sprints in our TXLF
presentation. I think there have been a few more since then
(Collaboration 2, CiviCRM 2):

July 2008: Inkscape, Paris
Aug 2008: OLPC/SugarLabs, Austin
Nov 2008: Internet Censorship, upstate New York
Feb 2009: Digital Foundations, NYC
Mar 2009: Firefox, Palm Springs
Mar 2009: Introduction to the Command Line, Boston
Apr 2009: PureData, NYC & Berlin
May 2009: CiviCRM, Truckee, CA
Dec 2009: Etoys, virtual
Jan 2010: Collaboration, Berlin
April 2010: Mifos, virtual

It would be nice to have a plain-old-wiki page to maintain this list.
