Accommodation
We have spoken with the local Youth Hostel in Zurich and they will be able to group Haskellers together if you mention the code "ZuriHac2013" when booking and when you check in.
The website to book is here http://www.youthhostel.ch/en/hostels/zurich
Please be advised we do not have a hold on rooms so you should book sooner rather than later if you will attend! Erudify and the Youth Hostel can't guarantee space
The Hostel has good public transport links to the Hackathon and downtown Zurich.
More transport information to follow.
Other options we recommend would be Airbnb.
