At the May Typelevel hack day we had people working on the Scala compiler (see photo above ... we submitted a pull request (https://github.com/scala/scala/pull/5162) against 2.12.x which as been accepted and merged!), people exploring Cats (http://typelevel.org/cats/) and shapeless (https://github.com/milessabin/shapeless), people working on Ensime (http://ensime.github.io/) and FreeSlick (https://github.com/smootoo/freeslick) and people working through introductory Scala problems and exercises ... something for everyone whatever their level of expertise!

Please come and join us, and if there's anything you'd like to chat about beforehand head over to the gitter channel (https://gitter.im/typelevel/hack-the-tower).

There won't be a HackTheTower in July or August, due to major engineering works at the Salesforce office, however we are arranging an alternative venue for the Typelevel & Scala hack day ... watch this space!

hackthetower.co.uk (http://www.hackthetower.co.uk/) is a hack day for any and all developers to come and collaborate on projects or simply discover new technologies together and enhance their skills. Working together also helps draw from each others experiences and get more done.

Note: This hack day is also being run in conjunction with the London Java Community (https://www.meetup.com/Londonjavacommunity/) and London Clojurians (https://www.meetup.com/London-Clojurians/), only sign up at one meetup event please!
