Dutch HUG/DutchHugDay

Dutch HUG day

On Saturday 24 April 2010 we organized the Dutch HUG day, an afternoon symposium, to celebrate the first anniversary of the Dutch Haskell Users Group (HUG). The group was founded on Sunday, April 19, 2009 at the Haskell Hackathon hosted in Utrecht. After a successful year, we renewed the trend with the Dutch HUG Day.

The event was held at the Ordina office in Niewegein, a town not far south of the city of Utrecht.

After dinner, we relocated to Café Olivier for drinks.
