 ## pyOpenSci at PyCon and SciPy 2024 -- sprints, talks and new contributors
 
-We've held sprints at SciPy and PyCon US in the past two years.
-We had significantly more engagement at SciPy and PyCon in 2024 compared to 2023. What is most impressive is many of our sprint participants have continued to contribute to pyOpenSci after our in-person sprint events.
+Sprints are one of my most favorite types of events to hold because they involve this [cool mix of learning, helping and community]({{ site.baseurl }}/blog/pyopensci-pyconus-2024-sprints.html).
 
-While pyOpenSci operates mainly as an online community, I find there is no better way to build a core community than by holding in-person events at large meetings. While we get plenty of expert Pythonistas at our sprints, our sprint events are always beginner-friendly. Many first-time contributors help pyOpenSci with various open issues on our help-wanted GitHub project board while submitting their first pull requests and issues to GitHub.

+We started holding sprints at PyCon US in 2023.
+Engagement at pyOpenSci sprints has grown significantly since we started leading these events. This year alone, we engaged with over 50 contributors at sprints who have submitted 86 issues and pull requests!

 Beginner-friendly sprints represent a true win-win for both contributors and pyOpenSci. Contributors learn new skills, and pyOpenSci gets help with the vital work that we are doing.
