Sprint will take place July 8-12, about an hour north of Winnipeg, working towards XS Community Edition 0.4. Not too long before a similar "Aug 3-10" Sprint in Boston for Pathagar.

We are excited that XSCE 0.4 will bring not only greater stability & configurability, but also much stronger integration of both the Pathagar Bookserver and Internet-in-a-Box ! Possibly Calibre OPDS's bookserver too. 0.4's Spec is still evolving as we speak in June 2013 here of course, per its Road Map.
