| − | [http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.general/13838 announced] that GHC HQ are going to run a hackathon, in Portland, just before ICFP this September (14-15th). It'll be held at Galois's offices, in Beaverton. Thanks go to [http://galois.com Galois] for hosting the meeting. [http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Hackathon Here] are the details. If you are interested in finding out a bit about how GHC works inside, then you should find the hackathon fun. It will be informal and interactive. If you think you might come, please take a look at the above page, and register. |
