hackathon spin-off in berlin?
by Matthias Fischmann 17 Jun '11

17 Jun '11

hi all, since i won't be able to make it to philly, but really wanted to attend, i thought maybe it would be fun to spread this event over two time zones? i have office space (decent internet, projector, etc.) in the heart of berlin for about five people; if more are interested, we could keep looking for something bigger. i guess you could argue that the point of hackathons is to avoid having more technology (video talks, conference lines, chat) in the way of communication, but at the same time i would like to gather some more experience with holding distributed events. i think it can be done. but before i start advertising, i would like to ask you organisers and attendees: how do you feel about the idea? would you like to link up with us if i find people to attend in berlin, or would you prefer me to stay out of your way? looking forward to reading your thoughts, cheers, matthias PS: in case that makes a difference: i'm interested in working on snap, but you should probably count me into the watch-and-learn category among the attendees.

Car Pool

27 Oct '10

Hi, we take a car to get to BelHac. I wondered if anyone is interested in joining us (at least 2 seats are empty). We will start at Karlsruhe, Germany and try to be in Ghent punctual for the beginning of the hackathon. Google Maps offeres me three different routes to get to Ghent and I would choose the closest to any other haskeller to join us. Please contact me, if you need a ride. Cheers, Martin -- Martin Kiefel +49 176 21064781 Veilchenstr. 11 mk(a)nopw.de 76131 Karlsruhe Germany

Photos from ZuriHac
by Sean Leather 30 Mar '10

30 Mar '10

I have seen a few mentions of photos in blog comments, but nothing in the mailing list. To aggregate all the photo links, please reply to the thread and share with us. David Anderson has a collection of Google-approved "inside" photos. - http://picasaweb.google.com/david.jc.anderson/Zurihac I have a collection of "outside" photos. I like to put names to faces. I did my best with what my limited memory still contains, but there are a number of people whom I didn't meet, forgot about, or mislabeled. If you have any contributions you'd like to make to improve this situation, please send me an email or leave a comment on the appropriate photo. - http://spl.smugmug.com/Switzerland-Trip-Mar-2010/Zurich/ZuriHac/11663336_wC… Regards, Sean

Hi, Thanks everyone for a fantastic atmosphere at ZuriHac! Unfortunately, I had to leave before lightning talks/demos. Could someone put the slides of their talks online? I think many people would appreciate it. Sergey

by Don Stewart 19 Mar '10

19 Mar '10

Hey all, As an incentive to complete projects this weekend, I'm offering a prize to hackathon attendees who upload packages to Hackage. If you release a package on Hackage (http://hackage.haskell.org) between today and lunch time Sunday, you go into the draw to win an exclusive "Real World Haskell" tshirt, featuring the famous "giant Haskell bug" icon. There are only a handful of these tshirts in existence, so it will be surely prized! http://covers.oreilly.com/images/9780596514983/lrg.jpg -- Don

Power plugs
by Joachim Breitner 19 Mar '10

19 Mar '10

Hi, I completely forgot that Switzerland has different powerplugs than the rest of Europe, and I won’t be able to get an converter until tomorrow. Therefore, I’d be grateful if some other attendees would bring converters and powerstrips where the common E+F-plugs will work in. For reference: This is what I have: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:CEE_7-7.jpg This is what the swiss use: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:J_plug.jpg Thanks, Joachim -- Joachim "nomeata" Breitner mail: mail(a)joachim-breitner.de | ICQ# 74513189 | GPG-Key: 4743206C JID: nomeata(a)joachim-breitner.de | http://www.joachim-breitner.de/ Debian Developer: nomeata(a)debian.org
