I mis-read the time at first, so as clarification:

Noon on Sunday, August 26. (Until 6:30 PM)

We've seen some serious bugs in the profile editor recently, and I think 
most of those bugs can be fixed by basically deleting most of the code, 
and replacing it -- replacing the JavaScript parts with Backbone.js, and 
the Python parts with some straightforward Python API library like 
tastypie.

I bookmarked some pages that I'll be reviewing at the sprint; feel free 
to get a headstart:

I'll be there!

Hoping to see others!
