[Haskell] ANNOUNCE: Darcs Hacking Sprint - 14-15 November Vienna

Dear Haskellers, The Darcs Team will soon be hosting its third hacking sprint. Details ------- When : 14-15 November 2009 Where: University of Technology, Vienna, Austria Who : Anybody who wants to hack on Darcs (or Camp, Focal, SO6, etc) Beginners especially welcome! Why : Darcs aims to have bi-annual hacking sprints so that we can get together on a regular basis, hold design discussions, hack up a storm and have a lot fun. What : We plan to put some finishing touches on Darcs-2.4. Darcs 2.4 is a pretty exciting release because we expect it to offer nice performance enhancements from Petr's Google Summer of Code Project, and also a nice new 'hunk splitting' feature. We also intend to set aside at least one Darcs hacker for mentoring beginners, so if you're new to Haskell or to Darcs hacking, here's a good chance to plunge in and start working on a real world project. How: Add yourself to http://wiki.darcs.net/Sprints/2009-11 or email me to let me know you're interested! Thanks ------ Thanks to our local team David Markvica and Benedikt Huber for generously offering to host this event! Thanks also to donors from the last fundraising drive. We'll be using that money to help Darcs hackers get to Vienna. Supporting Darcs ---------------- Darcs is a very happy member of the Software Freedom Conservancy. Among other things, the Software Freedom Conservancy makes it easy for open source projects to raise funds and hold assets (as part of a legal entity).
