Hi café, Hac Phi, a yearly weekend of Haskell in Philadelphia, will take place **in two weeks** on Nov. 6-8, hosted at the University of Pennsylvania. Hac Phi is a gathering of hackers and Haskell enthusiasts. Come bring a project you're working on or offer to help someone else on a project of theirs. Come give a talk if you've got something to share. Come to learn something new. This is a free event, generously sponsored by the University of Pennsylvania, Jane Street, and S&P Capital IQ. Please join our merry crew. Registration closes next Friday, October 30. And, if your company likes this sort of thing, we are looking for one more sponsor. Please email me directly if you may be able to help. Thanks! All the details are on the wiki page: https://wiki.haskell.org/Hac_Phi I hope to see you there! Richard

OdHac: second call for participation
by Roman Cheplyaka 06 Mar '13

------------------------------------------------------------------------ OdHac International Haskell Hackathon May 3-5, 2013 Odessa, Ukraine http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/OdHac Co-organized with Provectus IT ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The international Haskell hackathon in Odessa is just two months away! To attend, please register at http://bit.ly/OdHacReg. ## Projects A big idea of this Hackathon is to concentrate the effort around a few important and established projects. Although participants are free to work on their own projects, it's more fun to work together! So far we've got two great projects: Hakyll and Fay http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/OdHac/Projects#Hakyll http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/OdHac/Projects#Fay Feel free to add new projects to the wiki! One project we'd love to see represented, because of its enormous value to the community, is Cabal. So far several core Cabal hackers have expressed willingness to offer help via IRC, but it would be great to have a Cabal expert on site. If you can coordinate the effort around Cabal and answer questions, and you're planning to come — please get in touch with me. ## Accommodation The Hackathon dates overlap with a series of holidays in Ukraine and neighbour countries, and Odessa is a popular tourist destination. So book early! We offer an accommodation program to make it simple for you: http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/OdHac/Accommodation

ANNOUNCE: join (UHac <$> DHD)
by Sean Leather 13 Mar '12

13 Mar '12

You can still join us at the DHD >>= UHac, but the time is running out. http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/DHD_UHac Deadline: April 1 (no fooling!) We've also have a few updates: * We put the DHD program up, at least as much of it as we have. http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/DHD_UHac/DHD_Program * As you can see from the program, there is still room for more speakers. In particular, we'd like to hear from people coming outside Utrecht and the Netherlands. We'd also like to see more lightning talks. Send Sean an email with your idea: leather(a)cs.uu.nl * UHac on Friday has moved to a "new" location. Actually, it's the same location as on Saturday and Sunday, so that should make things easier. See you in Utrecht! The Organizers: Sean Leather Jurriën Stutterheim Jurriaan Hage P.S. Make sure your Monad is also a Functor. P.P.S. Apologies for multiple copies.

Sounds like fun to us! What will we need to do on our end? How will you handle the 6-hour time difference? ~d
