If you will be attending, please register. If you like, you can also list yourself as an attendee. Then check out the projects page.

4 When

• Meetup - Saturday 29 August

 * 09:30 at RCPE.
 * 10:00 - Henderson's Hanover Street
 * 19:00 - Corner of Hanover St and George closest to Henderson's

5 Talks

6 Location

The RCPE - Rooms 4 and 5. See RCPE layout for details.

See ICFP_2009_Local_Arrangements

7 Accommodation

Note that there may be some interest for renting a flat to share, especially for those who may be attending the ICFP. Let us know if you're interested!

8 Preparations

8.1 What to bring

• A laptop
• Wireless card if necessary. There will be wireless network access. Ethernet access will probably not be available. If you really need ethernet access, please contact the organizers.
• Mobile phone

8.2 Before you arrive

• 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 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 page and set up a public repository if you don't already have one, so that other people can help hack on your project.
• Install an up to date Haskell toolchain: at least ghc (preferably 6.10.*) 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 Haskell Platform.
