Hi everybody, We're less than one week away from the third Darcs Hacking Sprint, taking place in Portland and in Vienna on 14-15 November. Everybody is welcome (Haskell and Darcs newbies included), but please do let us know if you're thinking of attending! Preflight checklist ------------------- We've got our work cut out for us, so we want to make sure that we can hit the ground running. Here are three things each participant can do to help: 1. Request a code.haskell.org account http://community.haskell.org/admin/ 2. Build Darcs (install the Haskell Platform if needed) cabal install darcs darcs get --lazy http://darcs.net darcs cd darcs cabal install 3. Tell Eric your code.haskell.org login This is so that I can add you to the Darcs group Vienna Friday ------------- There's going to be quite a few of us arriving in Vienna on Friday. I propose we meet up at the Hostel Ruthensteiner, say at 11:00 for morning arrivals and 16:30 for those of us getting there in the afternoon. Perhaps we could walk around a bit, have a nice relaxed chat, find some food :-) http://www.hostelruthensteiner.com/ Meetings -------- There are few things we'll be talking about over the sprint (eg, darcs 2.4, SVN integration, filecache). If you're interested in joining in, please put your name down on the wiki so that we can work out a rough schedule. http://wiki.darcs.net/Sprints/2009-11 Nothing formal. Maybe just lunch and me scribbling in a notebook. Or maybe Darcs Hackers gesticulating wildly in front a white board. See you there -------------- That's all for now. Please shout if you have any questions or last minute comments. Otherwise, I'm really excited about this and looking forward to seeing you all this weekend! -- Eric Kow http://www.nltg.brighton.ac.uk/home/Eric.Kow PGP Key ID: 08AC04F9
