[matplotlib-devel] scipy sprints

Who will be around for the sprints?  We should start to come up with a list
what we want to work on.  There are a number of issues tagged as
'hack-a-thon' which are good candidates for novice contributors.

A few major projects that need attention are:

 - sorting out how to reliably find freetype everywhere (we should probably
pull in someone from enthought on this if possible as they are one of the
problem cases).  This might be solved by using pkg-config everywhere?
 - through review of MEP27 and the extension of MEP22 to the rest of the
interactive backends
 - discussions with IPython folks about what rolling traitlets into Artist
would look like
