who's up for a hackathon? (ICFP, late Aug, early Sept)
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! -- Eric Kow http://www.nltg.brighton.ac.uk/home/Eric.Kow PGP Key ID: 08AC04F9

Bear in mind the Haskell Implementors Workshop is on the 5th, and there may well be folks who want to attend DEFUN (also on 5th). 29-30th works best for me. Cheers, Simon

Ian pointed this out on #darcs yesterday. Also, Duncan says that due to the Fringe in Edinburgh, accommodation is going to be very difficult to find (nearest Glasgow) until September. The conclusion (which also the folks who discussed this during the last hackathon) was that the most likely dates would be Sunday-Monday 6-7 September. I've asked Graham Hutton if there was any possibility of a Hackathon room during either the 29-30th or 6-7th and will report back when I have more news. -- Eric Kow http://www.nltg.brighton.ac.uk/home/Eric.Kow PGP Key ID: 08AC04F9

Sounds like fun! I'd be able to come if it was 29-30 August (looks like I'll just be hanging around with nothing to do in between the summer school and ICFP anyway), but probably not if it was after the Symposium. -Brent
