Dear Haskell Hackers,
Many thanks to all those who attended Hac5! We had a spectacular number
of participants: over 50 hackers showed up, representing several
countries. Many thanks also to the organising committee and sponsors!
Those bagels on Sunday were delicious. :-)
Please check out the updated wiki page [1] for:
* a nice group photo of most attendants taken by Thomas Davie;
* a list of blog posts/galleries/videos of the event;
* a list of projects worked on and the progress that was made.
Additionally, if you covered Hac5 in some way or contributed to any of
the projects, please add your links or progress summary to the page.
Thanks,
Martijn.

Does anyone have problems finding place to stay?
I've booked a room at Strowis hostel but probably will cancel the
reservation because I plan to stay at guy's appartment ("couch
surfing"). So instead I can give my reservation to somebody if you need.
