Hac 07 II: Haskell Hackathon
October 5-7, 2007
University of Freiburg, Freiburg, Germany
The 3rd Haskell Hackathon will be held over 3 days, October 5-7 2007, at the University of Freiburg, in conjunction with the Haskell Workshop and ICFP 2007. It is a coding festival, focusing on producing and improving Haskell libraries, tools and infrastructure.
To attend please register, and get ready to hack!
Note: that it is not necessary to register for ICFP, or any of the associated conferences, if you only want to go to the Hackathon. The Hackathon itself will be free, but you will obviously have to pay for travel, accommodation and food.
Where
University of Freiburg, Freiburg, Germany.
The Hackathon will be integrated with the university summer campus. This will give us all the infrastructure (room, Internet, etc) at minimal hassle.
Local information
For local information (travel, accommodation etc) see the ICFP local info page.
