<br />
If you need a place to host a project so that others can help with it, we suggest [http://patch-tag.com/ patch-tag], which offers free hosting for public darcs repositories. If you're using git, [http://github.com github] is just dandy as well.<br />

If you have a project that you want to work on at the Hackathon, please describe it here.<br />
<br />
Since Hackathons are great for teamwork, consider joining one of the projects mentioned below. If you're interested in one of these projects, add your name to the list of hackers under that project.<br />

=== Diagrams ===<br />
<br />
The [http://code.google.com/p/diagrams diagrams project] is coming along quite nicely and there will be lots to work on: developing fun/interesting examples and contrib modules that provide higher-level diagram facilities, tools to aid in diagram development, and backends for rendering to various formats.<br />

<br />
=== GHC cross compilation ===<br />
<br />
GHC has had several recent fixes to help turn it into a cross compiler (thanks to Irene Knapp and Mark Lentczner,) but it's still not quite possible to easily cross compile stage2, and there still remains a hefty bit of build system and preprocessor cruft remaining.<br />

<div>'''January 20-22, 2012'''<br />
<br />
MIT, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA<br />
<br />
== About ==<br />
<br />
The Haskell Hackathon is an international, grassroots collaborative coding festival with a simple focus: build and improve Haskell libraries, tools, and infrastructure.<br />
<br />
Hac Boston will be held January 20-22, 2012 at [http://www.mit.edu/ MIT] in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambridge Cambridge, MA]. It is open to all -- you do not have to be a Haskell guru to attend. All you need is a basic knowledge of Haskell, a willingness to learn, and a [[/Projects|project]] you're excited to help with (or a project of your own to work on).<br />
<br />
There will be lots of hacking, some talks, good food, and, of course, fun!<br />
<br />
* IRC channel: #haskell-hacboston (freenode)<br />
* Mailing list: [http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/hackathon hackathon@haskell.org]<br />
<br />
== Registration ==<br />
<br />
If you will be attending, please [[/Register|register]]. Registration is free, and open to everyone. If you like, you can also<br />
[[/Attendees|list yourself as an attendee]]. Then check out the [[/Projects|projects page]].<br />
<br />
== When ==<br />
<br />
January 20-22, 2012 from 2:30-10pm Friday, 9am-10pm Saturday, and 9am-5pm Sunday. There will probably be some talks Saturday afternoon.<br />
<br />
Although the hackathon won't officially kick off until 2:30pm on Friday, you are welcome to arrive the evening of Thursday the 20th or Friday morning if it makes for easier travel. If enough people are around and interested, some sort of activity could be arranged for Thursday evening and/or Friday morning.<br />
<br />
== Talks ==<br />
<br />
If you'd be interested in giving a short (15-20 minute) talk, put your name and the subject of your talk on the [[/Talks|talks page]]. There will be a projector and whiteboard available.<br />
<br />
== Sponsors ==<br />
<br />
Hac Boston 2012 is sponsored by [https://www.capitaliq.com/ Capital IQ], an active user of functional programming!<br />
<br />
== Location ==<br />
<br />
Check out the [http://maps.google.com/maps/place?q=mit&cid=15051186796996599868 Google map] for info on relevant locations. More information about the room will be forthcoming. <br />
<br />
=== Getting to the Boston area ===<br />
<br />
See also [http://wikitravel.org/en/Boston#Get_in Wikitravel].<br />
<br />
==== Air ====<br />
<br />
[http://www.massport.com/logan-airport/Pages/Default.aspx Logan International Airport] (BOS) is the closest major airport. From BOS you can take the [http://www.mbta.com/schedules_and_maps/subway/lines/?route=SILVER Silver Line SL1] bus to Boston South Station.<br />
<br />
[http://www.pvdairport.com/ T. F. Green Airport] (PVD) in Providence is another option, with a [http://mbta.com/schedules_and_maps/rail/lines/?route=PROVSTOU rail connection] to Boston South Station.<br />
<br />
==== Train ====<br />
<br />
[http://www.amtrak.com Amtrak] serves Boston South Station, station code BOS. Service from cities in the Northeast is available on both the Northeast Regional train and the marginally faster Acela Express.<br />
<br />
From certain points in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, you can take [http://mbta.com/schedules_and_maps/rail/ MBTA commuter rail], which arrives at South Station or North Station.<br />
<br />
==== Bus ====<br />
<br />
Boston is served by many [http://busjunction.com/ bus companies]. From New York City, reasonable and cheap options include [http://us.megabus.com/ Megabus], [https://www.boltbus.com/ BoltBus], [http://www.fungwahbus.com/default.html Fung Wah], and [http://www.luckystarbus.com/ Lucky Star].<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Getting to MIT ===<br />
<br />
==== By human power ====<br />
<br />
Cambridge is a very walkable city. It is feasible to walk to MIT from many points in Cambridge, Boston, and Brookline. Cambridge is also very bikeable, but maybe not in January.<br />
<br />
==== By public transit ====<br />
<br />
MIT is close to [http://www.mbta.com/schedules_and_maps/subway/lines/stations/?stopId=12412 Kendall Station] on the Red Line subway. The Red Line connects to Boston South Station (and its rail and bus terminals) and the rest of the [http://www.mbta.com/schedules_and_maps/subway/ MBTA rapid transit network]. MIT is also served by [http://www.mbta.com/schedules_and_maps/bus/ MBTA buses]. Google Maps can plan rail and bus trips.<br />
<br />
TODO: Add map and walking directions from Kendall, once location is finalized.<br />
<br />
==== By car ====<br />
<br />
TODO: someone who drives to MIT should add information on routes and parking.<br />
<br />
==== Keegan McAllister Style ====<br />
<br />
* Bring a multitool.<br />
* Exit security, make an immediate right. Enter the janitorial wing of the airport. Find the third from the right window. <br />
* Quickly remove the screws on the air duct immediately next to it. Crawl through to luggage handling.<br />
* Navigate the maze of conveyor belts and machinery. Do not fall.<br />
* Exit via the luggage pickup conveyor belt.<br />
* Exit via the nearest door. Take the Blue Line subway towards Bowdoin. Ride on top.<br />
* Do not get off at Government Center Station. Directly ransfer to the Green Line towards E - Heath Street by jumping from train to train.<br />
* Get off at Prudential Station. Do not let yourself be seen.<br />
* Climb a nearby fire escape. Parkour to 111 Huntington Ave. Copumpkin style, break in through 5 Napkin Burger, fight your way through security on the ground floor and take the service elevator right behind it. If it's not at the ground, climb the shaft. It's faster.<br />
* Alternatively, pose as catering from the nearby Cheesecake Factory. The receptionist is vulnerable to strawberry cheesecake.<br />
* Find Edward Kmett. Beat him up and take his keys.<br />
* Drive to MIT. Find directions on Google Maps.<br />
<br />
=== Accommodation ===<br />
<br />
We're still actively investigating what kinds of bulk deals we can get on hotels in the area. <br />
<br />
There are a number of [http://web.mit.edu/visit/hotels.html nearby hotels suggested on the MIT web site]<br />
<br />
There may also be some local residents willing to accommodate a few attendees. See the [[/Attendees|attendees page]] for more info.<br />
<br />
== Preparations ==<br />
<br />
=== Before you arrive ===<br />
<br />
* Pick out a couple of projects to work on and familiarise yourself with them, or bring your own project(s) to work on. See the [[/Projects|projects page]] for a list of projects people plan to work on. If you plan to work on your own project, be sure to list it on the [[/Projects|projects page]] and set up a public repository if you don't already have one, so that other people can help hack on your project.<br />
* Install an up to date Haskell toolchain: at least ghc and cabal-install. If you don't already have these installed (or need to install from scratch on the laptop you're bringing), the easiest way is probably to install the [http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/ Haskell Platform].<br />
<br />
== Contact ==<br />
<br />
For any questions or emergencies, you can always call Edward Kmett at (857)244-1001.<br />
<br />
== Attendees ==<br />
<br />
See the [[/Attendees | Attendees]] page.<br />
<br />
== Organization ==<br />

=== Accommodation ===<br />
<br />
We're still actively investigating what kinds of bulk deals we can get on hotels in the area. <br />
<br />
There are a number of [http://web.mit.edu/visit/hotels.html nearby hotels suggested on the MIT web site]<br />
<br />
There may also be some local residents willing to accommodate a few attendees. See the [[/Attendees|attendees page]] for more info.<br />
<br />
== Preparations ==<br />
<br />
=== Before you arrive ===<br />
<br />
* Pick out a couple of projects to work on and familiarise yourself with them, or bring your own project(s) to work on. See the [[/Projects|projects page]] for a list of projects people plan to work on. If you plan to work on your own project, be sure to list it on the [[/Projects|projects page]] and set up a public repository if you don't already have one, so that other people can help hack on your project.<br />
* Install an up to date Haskell toolchain: at least ghc and cabal-install. If you don't already have these installed (or need to install from scratch on the laptop you're bringing), the easiest way is probably to install the [http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/ Haskell Platform].<br />

<br />
==== Air ====<br />
<br />
[http://www.massport.com/logan-airport/Pages/Default.aspx Logan International Airport] (BOS) is the closest major airport. [http://www.pvdairport.com/ T. F. Green Airport] (PVD) in Providence is another option, with a [http://mbta.com/schedules_and_maps/rail/lines/?route=PROVSTOU rail connection] to Boston.<br />
<br />
==== Train ====<br />
<br />
From most points, take [http://www.amtrak.com Amtrak] to South Station, station code (BOS). From certain points in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, take [http://mbta.com/schedules_and_maps/rail/ MBTA commuter rail], which arrives at South Station or North Station.<br />
<br />
[http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=117635619663929119581.00046ad73c83c72a23d67&ll=39.954783,-75.194485&spn=0.001667,0.002403&t=h&z=19 Google map].<br />
<br />
==== Bus ====<br />
<br />
Boston is served by many [http://busjunction.com/ bus companies]. From New York City, reasonable and cheap options include [http://us.megabus.com/ Megabus] [https://www.boltbus.com/ BoltBus], [http://www.fungwahbus.com/default.html Fung Wah], and [http://www.luckystarbus.com/ Lucky Star]<br />
<br />
<br />
==== Without a car ====<br />
<br />
* [http://www.mbta.org/ MBTA] operates the trains and busses in the Boston area. Fares are [http://mbta.com/fares_and_passes/subway/ listed on their website].<br />
You can also get a CharlieTicket (or CharlieCard) at most stops.<br />
<br />
* Walking is always an option. Cambridge is a very walkable city.<br />
<br />
==== From the airport ====<br />
<br />
* You can take the Silver Line to South Station and then take the T from South Station to Kendall Station.<br />
* Walking is probably not an option.<br />
<br />
==== Keegan McAllister Style ====<br />
<br />
* Bring a multitool.<br />
* Exit security, make an immediate right. Enter the janitorial wing of the airport. Find the third from the right window. <br />
* Quickly remove the screws on the air duct immediately next to it. Crawl through to luggage handling.<br />
* Navigate the maze of conveyor belts and machinery. Do not fall.<br />
* Exit via the luggage pickup conveyor belt.<br />
* Exit via the nearest door. Take the Blue Line subway towards Bowdoin. Ride on top.<br />
* Do not get off at Government Center Station. Directly ransfer to the Green Line towards E - Heath Street by jumping from train to train.<br />
* Get off at Prudential Station. Do not let yourself be seen.<br />
* Climb a nearby fire escape. Parkour to 111 Huntington Ave. You will need a zipline. Possibly several. Alternatively, copumpkin style, break in through 5 Napkin Burger, fight your way through security on the ground floor and take the service elevator right behind it. If it's not at the ground, climb the shaft. It's faster.<br />
* Alternatively, pose as catering from the nearby Cheesecake Factory. The receptionist is vulnerable to strawberry cheesecake.<br />
* Find Edward Kmett. Beat him up and take his keys.<br />
* Drive to MIT. Find directions on Google Maps.<br />
<br />
=== Accommodation ===<br />
<br />
We're still actively investigating what kinds of bulk deals we can get on hotels in the area. <br />
<br />
There are a number of [http://web.mit.edu/visit/hotels.html nearby hotels suggested on the MIT web site]<br />
<br />

<br />
==== Air ====<br />
<br />
[http://www.massport.com/logan-airport/Pages/Default.aspx Logan International Airport] (BOS) is the closest major airport. [http://www.pvdairport.com/ T. F. Green Airport] (PVD) in Providence is another option, with a [http://mbta.com/schedules_and_maps/rail/lines/?route=PROVSTOU rail connection] to Boston.<br />
<br />
==== Train ====<br />
<br />
From most points, take [http://www.amtrak.com Amtrak] to South Station, station code (BOS). From certain points in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, take [http://mbta.com/schedules_and_maps/rail/ MBTA commuter rail], which arrives at South Station or North Station.<br />
<br />
[http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=117635619663929119581.00046ad73c83c72a23d67&ll=39.954783,-75.194485&spn=0.001667,0.002403&t=h&z=19 Google map].<br />
<br />
==== Bus ====<br />
<br />
Boston is served by many [http://busjunction.com/ bus companies]. From New York City, reasonable and cheap options include [http://us.megabus.com/ Megabus] [https://www.boltbus.com/ BoltBus], [http://www.fungwahbus.com/default.html Fung Wah], and [http://www.luckystarbus.com/ Lucky Star]<br />
<br />
<br />
==== Without a car ====<br />
<br />
* [http://www.mbta.org/ MBTA] operates the trains and busses in the Boston area. Fares are [http://mbta.com/fares_and_passes/subway/ listed on their website].<br />
You can also get a CharlieTicket (or CharlieCard) at most stops.<br />
<br />
* Walking is always an option. Cambridge is a very walkable city.<br />
<br />
==== From the airport ====<br />
<br />
* You can take the Silver Line to South Station and then take the T from South Station to Kendall Station.<br />
* Walking is probably not an option.<br />
<br />
==== Keegan McAllister Style ====<br />
<br />
* Bring a multitool.<br />
* Exit security, make an immediate right. Enter the janitorial wing of the airport. Find the third from the right window. <br />
* Quickly remove the screws on the air duct immediately next to it. Crawl through to luggage handling.<br />
* Navigate the maze of conveyor belts and machinery. Do not fall.<br />
* Exit via the luggage pickup conveyor belt.<br />
* Exit via the nearest door. Take the Blue Line subway towards Bowdoin. Ride on top.<br />
* Do not get off at Government Center Station. Directly ransfer to the Green Line towards E - Heath Street by jumping from train to train.<br />
* Get off at Prudential Station. Do not let yourself be seen.<br />
* Climb a nearby fire escape. Parkour to 111 Huntington Ave. You will need a zipline. Possibly several. Alternatively, fight your way through security on the ground floor and take the elevator. If it's not at the ground, climb the shaft. It's faster.<br />
* Alternatively, pose as catering from the nearby Cheesecake Factory. Edward Kmett cannot resist 2700 calorie shrimp scampi.<br />
* Enter ClariFI through the window. Disregard the screams of terror.<br />
* Find Edward Kmett. Beat him up and take his keys.<br />
* Drive to MIT. Find directions on Google Maps.<br />
<br />
=== Accommodation ===<br />
<br />
We're still actively investigating what kinds of bulk deals we can get on hotels in the area. <br />
<br />
There are a number of [http://web.mit.edu/visit/hotels.html nearby hotels suggested on the MIT web site]<br />
<br />
There may also be some local residents willing to accommodate a few attendees. See the [[/Attendees|attendees page]] for more info.<br />
<br />
== Preparations ==<br />
<br />
=== Before you arrive ===<br />
<br />
* Pick out a couple of projects to work on and familiarise yourself with them, or bring your own project(s) to work on. See the [[/Projects|projects page]] for a list of projects people plan to work on. If you plan to work on your own project, be sure to list it on the [[/Projects|projects page]] and set up a public repository if you don't already have one, so that other people can help hack on your project.<br />
* Install an up to date Haskell toolchain: at least ghc and cabal-install. If you don't already have these installed (or need to install from scratch on the laptop you're bringing), the easiest way is probably to install the [http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/ Haskell Platform].<br />

If you plan to work on your own project, be sure to list it on the [[/Projects|projects page]] and set up a public repository if you don't already have one, so that other people can help hack on your project.<br />
* Install an up to date Haskell toolchain: at least ghc and cabal-install. If you don't already have these installed (or need to install from scratch on the laptop you're bringing), the easiest way is probably to install the [http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/ Haskell Platform].<br />

== About ==<br />
<br />
The Haskell Hackathon is an international, grassroots collaborative coding festival with a simple focus: build and improve Haskell libraries, tools, and infrastructure.<br />
<br />
Hac Boston will be held January 21-23, 2012 at [http://www.mit.edu/ MIT] in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambridge Cambridge, MA]. It is open to all -- you do not have to be a Haskell guru to attend. All you need is a basic knowledge of Haskell, a willingness to learn, and a [[/Projects|project]] you're excited to help with (or a project of your own to work on).<br />
<br />
There will be lots of hacking, some talks, good food, and, of course, fun!<br />
<br />

<br />
==== Air ====<br />
<br />
[http://www.massport.com/logan-airport/Pages/Default.aspx Logan International Airport] (BOS) is the closest major airport. [http://www.pvdairport.com/ T. F. Green Airport] (PVD) in Providence is another option, with a [http://mbta.com/schedules_and_maps/rail/lines/?route=PROVSTOU rail connection] to Boston.<br />
<br />
==== Train ====<br />
<br />
From most points, take [http://www.amtrak.com Amtrak] to South Station, station code (BOS). From certain points in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, take [http://mbta.com/schedules_and_maps/rail/ MBTA commuter rail], which arrives at South Station or North Station.<br />
<br />
[http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=117635619663929119581.00046ad73c83c72a23d67&ll=39.954783,-75.194485&spn=0.001667,0.002403&t=h&z=19 Google map].<br />
<br />
==== Bus ====<br />
<br />
Boston is served by many [http://busjunction.com/ bus companies]. From New York City, reasonable and cheap options include [http://us.megabus.com/ Megabus] [https://www.boltbus.com/ BoltBus], [http://www.fungwahbus.com/default.html Fung Wah], and [http://www.luckystarbus.com/ Lucky Star]<br />
<br />
<br />
==== Without a car ====<br />
<br />
* [http://www.mbta.org/ MBTA] operates the trains and busses in the Boston area. Fares are [http://mbta.com/fares_and_passes/subway/ listed on their website].<br />
You can also get a CharlieTicket (or CharlieCard) at most stops.<br />
<br />
* Walking is always an option. Cambridge is a very walkable city.<br />
<br />
==== From the airport ====<br />
<br />
* You can take the Silver Line to South Station and then take the T from South Station to Kendall Station.<br />
* Walking is probably not an option.<br />
<br />
==== Keegan McAllister Style ====<br />
<br />
* Bring a multitool.<br />
* Exit security, make an immediate right. Enter the janitorial wing of the airport. Find the third from the right window. <br />
* Quickly remove the screws on the air duct immediately next to it. Crawl through to luggage handling.<br />
* Navigate the maze of conveyor belts and machinery. Do not fall.<br />
* Exit via the luggage pickup conveyor belt.<br />
* Exit via the nearest door. Take the Blue Line subway towards Bowdoin. Ride on top.<br />
* Do not get off at Government Center Station. Directly ransfer to the Green Line towards E - Heath Street by jumping from train to train.<br />
* Get off at Prudential Station. Do not let yourself be seen.<br />
* Climb a nearby fire escape. Parcour to 111 Huntington Ave.<br />
* Enter ClariFI through the window. Disregard the screams of terror.<br />
* Find Edward Kmett. Beat him up and take his keys.<br />
* Drive to MIT. Find directions on Google Maps.<br />
<br />
=== Accommodation ===<br />
<br />
We're still actively investigating what kinds of bulk deals we can get on hotels in the area. <br />
<br />
There are a number of [http://web.mit.edu/visit/hotels.html nearby hotels suggested on the MIT web site]<br />
<br />
There may also be some local residents willing to accommodate a few attendees. See the [[/Attendees|attendees page]] for more info.<br />
<br />
== Preparations ==<br />
<br />
=== Before you arrive ===<br />
