Shall we try to organise something for sometime over the summer? Avoiding the summer holidays, either of the following two periods seem attractive:
 
-
 
-
* last week of November/first week of December or
 
-
* last week of January/first week of February.
 
-
 
-
(Add any additional periods that you would find attractive and/or comment on suitability.)

Events to avoid clashing with:
 
-
 
-
* The 2007 federal election (weekend of 24-25 November).
 
-
* linux.conf.au (28 Jan - 2 Feb 2007, unless it's held in conjunction).
 
-
* Inevitable family Christmas parties/holiday travel rush (some weekends in December, different for everyone I suspect).
 
-
* www.oscd.com.au - late november in Brisbane

Current revision

There is AngloHaskell and now AmeroHaskell. Doesn't that call for OzHaskell?

Who would be interested to have a Haskell event in Australia, possibly in Sydney? This is just a wild idea without any concrete date or format yet. Jot down any suggestions on this page.

Interested Haskellers:

Contents

1 Possible dates

2 Format

How about the following?

  • One day meeting with informal talks and demos (preferably on a Friday)
  • There could be a second, even less formal day, for those who want to hang out some more and maybe some hacking
  • Run it at the University of New South Wales, Sydney

(Add your thoughts to the above.)

3 Talks and demos

Do you have anything you'd like to talk about or a system you'd like to demo? This is just a tentative list - you commit to nothing.

3.1 Talk proposals

3.2 Demo proposals
