Dear Haskellers,
ICFP 2009 takes place from Monday 31 August to Wednesday 2 September,
with the Haskell Symposium following it on 3 September.
Would anybody be interested having a Haskell Hackathon during this? My
thinking is that to catch people who are only going to the Haskell
Symposium, the best time is the following weekend (4-6 September).
Otherwise, the weekend before (29-30 August) is also an option and has
the benefit of catching people before they get tired :-)
Rah, rah, hackathon!
1. If possible, I'd like get a idea if there is any interest in attending
such a Hackathon if it were to take place.
2. For rah-rah Hackathon to work, we need people! Could I get one kind
(and local) soul to act as an organiser for this?
Thanks!

All,
Friends of mine are performing at the Edinburgh Fridge Festival and
apparently may have a spare flat available for much of the period
covering ICFP.

The advantage of this one is that it may be cheaper, but it would not
cover the hackathon, we'd have to find somewhere else for those two
days.
Hiring a shared flat is one of the cheaper and nicer ways of getting
accommodation in Edinburgh around the festival time (since all the
hostels and hotels will be expensive and booked up). However it has to
be booked early and obviously you need to have enough people. For the
poor starving students, sharing rooms within flats also works.
There's a big list of other flats advertised via the Edinburgh Fridge
website.

Hi all,
This is a quick reminder for people interested in attending Hac phi
who have not yet reserved a hotel room: if you'd like to reserve a
room at Club Quarters at the reduced rate ($114/night single,
$129/night double), we ask that you send a note to Daniel Wagner
(daniel(a)wagner-home.com) by this Monday, June 15th.
To register, or for more infomation about Hac phi, visit the wiki page

Thanks, and we look forward to seeing you at the hackathon!
