Sprint Venue
For the first few days we'll be at the Tampere University of Technology then we relocate to a lakeside cottage. With sauna.
We have the place for ourselves for 24/7 so through-the-night coding sessions are possible. The schedule of wakeups (or the lack thereof) and whatnot is also intended to be relaxed and brainstorming-coding "hammer the iron while it is hot" oriented.
Sprint cottage, hidden among trees

Sauna with direct access to the lake
