Hello fellow Hackers,
the Wiki page now shows our preliminary program:
http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Hac4/Program
We will start hacking at on Friday, 10:00 at Café Linsen in the
Computer Science and Engineering building.
For those not from Chalmers, Café Linsen is in the center of the
computer science and electronic engineering building. The main
entrance is marked on this map:

There's another entrance through the courtyard, also on the east side
of the building and another one in the north of the building. If you
ask for "Café Linsen", "EDIT building", or "Computer Science
building", people will probably be able to show you the way. Outside
of the Chalmers campus, just ask for Chalmers.
In the unlikely case that you get lost anyways, you can always call
us. (Our phone numbers are on the wiki.)
On saturday, only students and employees can enter the building and
only employees can access the Computer Science and Engineering lunch
room. Therefore, if you are arriving on Friday, make sure you get in
touch with someone who attended on Friday, to find out how to get in.
So far.
We are looking forward to a fun weekend!

Hi Haskell Hackers!
There are only 4 days left until the fourth Hackathon (http://
www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Hac4) at Chalmers University in
Gothenburg, Sweden.
If you haven't registered, yet, please do so now!
Registration deadline: Tuesday, April 8, 2008
To register, go to http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Hac4/Register
and follow the steps.
For all those already registered, here's a short (not nearly
complete) checklist:
* Make sure you have an account on code.haskell.org. (See http://
www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Hac4/Projects for how to do that.)
* Decide what to work on if you haven't yet. (See http://
www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Hac4/Projects for ideas.)
* Make sure your laptop is working and that you take all required
extra equipment. (If your wireless driver sucks, we can probably
find some cables and a switch here.)
* It would be good to have all the code you want to work on already
on your computer. Also make sure it builds with your compiler
version. If your distro doesn't have binaries, maybe install some
software in advance, like Gobby or profiled versions of GHC, newest
version of gtk2hs or whatever seems appropriate. It would just be a
shame to waste hours of precious hacking time.
* Make a backup. Just in case. ;)
* Many hostels want a confirmation a few days before arrival, don't
forget.
* If you need some phone numbers of locals, check the wiki site, if
you need some more help from us locals, you can ask us at our IRC
channel #haskell-hac4.
We're looking forward to a fun weekend!
