<p><a href="http://software-carpentry.org/blog/2014/05/multisite-sprint-in-july.html">The Mozilla Science Lab global sprint</a> is getting more interesting every day. Titus Brown’s group is using their <a href="https://github.com/ged-lab/khmer/">khmer project</a> to <a href="http://ivory.idyll.org/blog/2014-khmer-hackathon.html">introduce scientists to testing and code review using the “github workflow”.</a> A group of people is translating Software Carpentry to Spanish. Others will work on <a href="https://github.com/swcarpentry/bc">closing issues and merging pull requests in our repositories.</a> Pick a location to work in or set up a new one, and join these projects or add a new one to the list. All in <a href="https://etherpad.mozilla.org/swc-sprint-2014">this Etherpad</a>.</p>
