About

The Haskell Hackathon is an international, grassroots collaborative coding festival with a simple focus: build and improve Haskell libraries, tools, and infrastructure.

ZuriHac will be held in March at the Google office in Zurich. 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 project you're excited to help with (or a project of your own to work on).

There will be lots of hacking, some talks, good food, and, of course, fun!

When

A weekend (Friday-Sunday) in March; yet to be decided. One of

March 5-7,
March 12-14,
March 19-21, or
March 26-28.
