July sprints report

Twisted had its first cross-coast sprint last Saturday! Ying Li and Rackspace organized a Twisted tutorial by project founder Glyph in San Francisco on Friday, which was followed on Saturday by sprints in San Francisco and Boston.
The Boston sprint was made possible by a grant from the Python Software Foundation Sprints Committee. A big thank you to the PSF for their support.
