I just returned from my first CiviCRM sprint. It was called the DC Sprint, but as Jeremy has already posted, we were actually in Maryland.
As a first time attendee of a CiviCRM conference and sprint, I really did not know what to expect. I was very pleased that both WordPress and Joomla! received some real attention at the sprint and I hope we are heading to a place where CiviCRM can be truly CMS agnostic.
We're approaching the middle of the third day of the 2014 East Coast code sprint, situated in a bucolic farmhouse just outside of Frederick, Maryland. The location has made this sprint a little different, with some people being able to commute back and forth. In total, 14 or so sprinters have been working on webtests, improvements to CiviVolunteer, and improvements to buildkit for all platforms, which some renewed focus on Joomla and Wordpress.
We all know CiviCRM provides a lot of power and usability "out-of-the-box". But it's only got where it is because of hours of hard work from the core team, other developers and end users pitching in the funds to make it happen.

Yes thats right, over the past few months Compucorp have been working with Web Access, JMA consulting and the Core Team to beef up Civi's accounting integration by providing support for Sales Taxes for CiviCRM. But wait there's more...
I am developing a CiviCRM installation for a client. The charity uses a colour-coding system to note their service users’ medical conditions. The client was keen to carry this colour coding over into the database. The trick was getting the CRM to use the correct colour code depending on what condition has been selected.
