[Haskell] ANN: HacPhi 2011

[Daniel Wagner]

Greetings,

I am very pleased to officially announce HacPhi 2011, a Haskell
hackathon/get-together to be held July 29-31 at the University of
Pennsylvania in Philadelphia supported by contributions from Amgen, Jane
Street, and Microsoft Research.  The hackathon will officially kick off
at 2:30 Friday afternoon, and go until 5pm on Sunday (with breaks for
sleep, of course).  Last year's HacPhi was a lot of fun, drawing an
international crowd, and many people have already expressed interest in
coming back this year.  Come meet your Haskelly brothers-in-arms!  I
want to stress that everyone is welcome---you do not have to be a
Haskell guru.  Helping hack on someone else's project could be a great
way to increase your Haskell-fu.

If you plan on coming, please officially register [1].  Registration,
travel, lodging and many other details can be found on the HacPhi wiki
[2].

We're also looking for a few people interested in giving short (15-20
min.) talks, probably on Saturday afternoon.  Anything of interest to
the Haskell community is fair game---a project you've been working on, a
paper, a quick tutorial.  If you'd like to give a talk, add it on the
wiki [3].

Hope to see you in Philadelphia!
