Certainly a great idea. I guess there's most likely some informal meeting after the Haskell eXchange. Perhaps Neil Mitchell knows if there are any concrete plans yet? He's been putting together the program for the conference. Cheers, Andres -- Andres Löh, Haskell Consultant Well-Typed LLP, http://www.well-typed.com

Perhaps a monthly informal gathering similarly (self-)organised to Dorkbot but focussed on Haskell (and other functional languages) is what I'm really after, but that still requires some organisation time and a venue, neither of which necessarily come cheap :( So, I understand the need to charge, but it seems quite a high fee to me (especially as there don't seem to be concessions for unwaged / students / etc).
Cheers, Andres
Thanks, sorry if this caused offence. Three cheers if it revives a democratic informal londonhug thing. Claude
Hi.

No need to apologize. There's a need for informal meetings as much (or even more) as there is for courses and conferences.

There are several informal meetings on Haskell happening throughout the world. I'm personally not living in the London area, but I regularly attend the Munich Haskell meeting (http://www.haskell-munich.de/). Regarding London, I know there's the Haskell Hoodlums meetup (http://www.meetup.com/hoodlums/), and I think there is or was a Haskell User Group as well, but it's currently listed as "not active" on http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/User_groups. Perhaps there's a chance to bring it back to life? Cheers, Andres -- Andres Löh, Haskell Consultant Well-Typed LLP, http://www.well-typed.com

Thank you.

Thanks, I wasn't aware of this one. I have signed up. Claude
Hi Claude,
I have a promo code which gives £50 off to make the Haskell Exchange
£175. HASKELLX-2012-TE1.
Note that this cost isn't profiteering - unfortunately running a
conference (just getting a venue) is expensive.
There will probably be some social aspect afterwards, I'll certainly
go to a pub if anyone wants.
I would love to see London HUG revived, I know people have tried
(including in the very recent past, a few months ago), but as yet no
one has managed to get any meetings going. Perhaps soon though.
Hoodlums is a great event, more teaching and less talk based, but very
well run and I highly recommend it!
Thanks, Neil
