Hac 07 II: Haskell Hackathon

October 5-7, 2007

University of Freiburg, Freiburg, Germany

The 3rd Haskell Hackathon will be held over 3 days, October 5-7 2007, at the University of Freiburg, in conjunction with the Haskell Workshop and ICFP 2007. It is a coding festival, focusing on producing and improving Haskell libraries, tools and infrastructure.

To attend please register, and get ready to hack!

Note: that it is not necessary to register for ICFP, or any of the associated conferences, if you only want to go to the Hackathon. The Hackathon itself will be free, but you will obviously have to pay for travel, accommodation and food.

Where

University of Freiburg, Freiburg, Germany.

The Hackathon will be integrated with the university summer campus. This will give us all the infrastructure (room, Internet, etc) at minimal hassle.

Install an up to date Haskell toolchain.

Projects to work on

Add ideas here for which you think hacking together as a group (rather than individually) would be beneficial.

Building tests that give 100% code coverage for package base.
Lots of Cabal hacking still to be done
Bindings for <your favourite C library>
Haskell library for <your favourite task>

Other things:

Bit layer on Data.Binary 1.0
libxml
bytestring parsec
combine strictcheck and quickcheck once and for all
