Individuals are certainly welcome to attend. The conference portion is
stand-alone, and doesn't depend on the sprints. But we do like having
teams join for the sprints.

I'm a huge fan of doc sprints. I credit most of the success I had in the
GNOME docs team to our regular sprints. Not only do you get a lot done
during a sprint, but they're also great for building community. Having
them in a shared environment like Open Help means you can tap into the
collective wisdom of other sprinters. Plus, it's a lot of fun.

We have room for six teams this year, more than any previous year. If
you'd like to host one, I've found it's useful to email people to get
interest and set up a wiki page for planning. I can help with any
logistics.
