+The 10th of March, around 500 people in 30 different locations worldwide,
+contributed together to improve pandas documentation.
+
+While many great contributions were made, pandas has around 1,200 API pages.
+So, there is still some work to do.
+
+In this sprint, each pair of participants (or each participant if you prefer
+not to pair-program) will be assigned a pandas documentation page to work on.
+
+By the end of the sprint, you should be able to convert a page like this:
+- <https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/generated/pandas.DataFrame.plot.kde.html>
+
+In a page like this:
+- <http://pandas-docs.github.io/pandas-docs-travis/generated/pandas.DataFrame.plot.kde.html>
+
+Before the sprint, it's recommended to:
+
+- Bring your own laptop
+- Set up your environment
+- Join the [Gitter channel](https://gitter.im/py-sprints/pandas-doc-london) of the sprint
+
+In order to create a more inclusive environemnt, we host events specific for underrepresented
+groups in our events. This sprint is one of them, and is for **ladies only**.

+For first time contributors, we'll have a parallel track. We'll show a
+presentation about what's a pull request, and how to send one. And we'll
+work on the Python Sprints website, to get some practice in an easier
+environment, before you start worrying about the implementation of more
+complex projects like Tornado.

 Remember to **bring your own laptop**, as usual.
 
 Pizzas and beers will be served during the sprint.

+title: Pandas internals
+level: All levels

+
+This event will be a mix between a sprint and a workshop. The main goal is
+not to contribute to pandas during the sprint, but to better understand
+pandas internals, so we can contribute in the future.
+
+What we will do is to work in a project that replicates the same
+directory structure of pandas, and we'll add the basic functionality to it:
+- Storage of data
+- Basic I/O operations
+- Indexing
+- Basic arithmetic operations
+
+If you know which functionality you want to work on, feel free to try to
+understand the pandas code for it.
+
+There will be tasks for all levels, even beginners to Python and pandas.
+
+This is the repository we will work on:
+- <https://github.com/datapythonista/minipandas>
+
+You can fork and clone the repository before the sprint, but no need to follow
+pandas installation instructions.
+
+Remember to **bring your own laptop**, as usual.
