NZHac

For some time now we have been talking about having a Haskell Hackathon in NZ. Now we are going to make it happen!

We hope it will cater to all levels from absolute beginner to expert Haskellers.

The goal is to make sure everyone has a fun time learning or creating something interesting. If you are new to Haskell and just want to tinker with it a bit there should be people around to point you in the right direction (help decode cryptic seaming error messages).

If you are already doing Haskell coding you might have project already that you are planning to work on at NZHac. Perhaps you have would like someone to help or just bounce ideas off or perhaps you will find out about another interesting project to work on.

We are not planning very much structure, but here is a rough Plan.

Friday

For those that can make it on Friday we have created another meetup NZHac (Friday) (https://www.meetup.com/Wellington-FP/events/221743510/). We still need to decide on a Venue for Friday.
