Virtual Online Global Haskell Hackathon

Global Online Haskell Hackathon

The hackathon will be on Saturday and Sunday 23 and 24 May 2020 between the hours 10 AM and 10 PM.

There are 2 types of participants in the hackathon:

• project contributor - will be joining work on one or more of the presented projects (make sure you have already Haskell installed on your computer before joining the hackathon)

• project mentor - will be presenting their projects and help the project contributors work on the project by answering any questions and providing support. If you are a mentor make sure to have a list of issues which others can work on prepared like for ex. on a kanban board in GitHub: https://github.com/fairy-tale-agi-solutions/haskell-editor-setup/projects/1 and also prepare some kind of presentation which you will do at the beginning of the hackathon

Important: Join the Haskell Dublin Meetup Discord because that is where we will coordinate the work on the hackathon projects: https://discord.gg/PBjkkDC

Even more important: make sure you have already Haskell installed on your computer before joining the hackathon. For easy setup follow the steps mentioned here: https://github.com/fairy-tale-agi-solutions/haskell-editor-setup#instructions-for-setting-up-haskell-editorside

At 10:15 AM on 23 May 2020 we will open the hackathon event and explain how to proceed further over Discord group audio / video chat. So please make sure to have joined Discord by then

During the 10:15 AM Discord opening the planning will be something like the following:

• By then all the mentors will need to provide us a link to their project, a short description of it and we will create a Discord text and audio channel for them.

• Mentors will be split among different Discord audio channels where they will be presenting their projects.

• After the presentations mentors and mentees will further communicate in the project dedicated text and audio channels for the respective projects

That is about it. Anyone for wherever they are: on the planet or on the international space station, etc. are invited to join. In rest, just have fun coding and meeting new people passionate about Haskell and FP :)
