Hello Haskellers,
On Saturday & Sunday (28th & 29th August) we held a Hackathon in
Edinburgh, before the ICFP got fully underway. If you were there,
thank you for coming.
We'll be writing a summary of what happened soon, and we'd love to
hear what you did. If you started a new project or fixed some
insidious bug, identified a major bottleneck or just enriched the
testing structure around your chosen project, it would be great to
know. Just a line or two is all we need!
I am hoping that everyone who attended will see this message, as they
must have seen Eric's original advertising emails. But please pass
this message along if you know there's someone we missed.
Cheers,
Dougal

Dear Haskellers,
Last minute reminder: We will be having a Hack Day in Edinburgh on
Sunday 30 August (ICFP venue). That's this weekend!
For the interested, we will also be meeting up the day before 09:30
Saturday 29 August just outside the RCPE (ie. the ICFP venue again).
We'll have a quick wander and hopefully find some nice places to sit,
chat and hack.
On Sunday the real Hack Day begins at the ICFP venue, rooms 4/5.

And for the interested, Brent says:

> Just thought I'd mention it, so if there's anyone else coming to the
> meetup day and 16th-century a capella sounds like your cup of tea, you
> can get a ticket too and we can go together.
Looking forward to seeing you,
Eric

Dear Haskellers,
Just a quick reminder that we will be having a Hack Day in Edinburgh
on Sunday 30 August (ICFP venue). That's in two weeks!
For the interested, we will also be meeting up the day before 09:30
Saturday 29 August just outside the RCPE (ie. the ICFP venue again).
We'll have a quick wander and hopefully find some nice places to sit and
chat, whip out the occasional laptop and fling a lambda or not being
careful not to injure the passers-by.
For more details, see
http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Hac7
And do send me an email if you're interested in attending. It'll
help us to get an idea how many people will be there.
See you soon! :-)
