About
On Thursday the 29th of August 2013 the Zurich HaskellerZ Meetup group will hold the "Zurich FP Afternoon". This will be a half-day event consisting of talks themed "Functional Programming in Industry". It will be held at ETH and will start with a keynote from Simon Marlow!
The Zurich FP Afternoon is followed by ZuriHac 2013, a three day Haskell Hackathon from Friday the 30th of August until Sunday the 1st of September hosted at the Erudify office.
The Haskell Hackathon is an international, grassroots collaborative coding festival with a simple focus: build and improve Haskell libraries, tools, and infrastructure.
This is a great opportunity to meet your fellow haskellers in real life, find new contributors for your project, improve existing libraries and tools or even start new ones!

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.
