OK, so we have a fair number of people indicating interest... so which
weekend would be preferred?
26/27 June
3/4 July
10/11 July
17/18 July
Or should we take this to the wiki rather than the mailing list?

Would other Australians be interested in having our own Hackathon (why should all those northerners have all the fun)? I'm thinking about organising it to be in the July break between university semesters.
There was a previous consideration a few years back to have an OzHaskell group (http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/OzHaskell) but nothing seems to have eventuated out of it.
In terms of projects, here are some ideas:
* A plotting library using Ben's newly released Gloss library (for people who can't or won't install Gtk2Hs to get Chart working; Alex Mason is interested in this) * Various graph-related project (graphviz, generic graph class, etc.; this assumes someone else apart from me cares about this stuff) * Hubris if Mark Wotton comes along * LLVM if David Terei comes
So, at least as an initial listing, we'd need to have a listing of: 1) Who's interested 2) What dates are good 3) What projects people want to work on 4) Where we can host this
Let's get the ball rolling!
