<div>I am very pleased to officially announce Hac Boston, a Haskell <span style="background-color: transparent; ">hackathon to be held January 21-23, 2012 at MIT in Cambridge, MA. </span></div><div><span style="background-color: transparent; "><br>
</span></div><div><span style="background-color: transparent; ">The hackathon will officially kick off at 2:30 Friday afternoon, and go until 5pm on Sunday with the occasional break for sleep. </span></div><div><br></div>
<div>Everyone is welcome -- you do not have to be a Haskell guru <span style="background-color: transparent; ">to attend! Helping hack on someone else's project could be a great </span><span style="background-color: transparent; ">way to increase your Haskell skills.</span></div>
<div><br></div><div>If you plan on coming, <a href="http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Hac_Boston/Register">please officially register</a>, even if you <span style="background-color: transparent; ">already put your name on the wiki. Registration, travel, some information about lodging and many other details can now be found on the <a href="http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Hac_Boston">Hac Boston wiki</a>.</span></div>
<div><br></div><div>We have confirmed space for about 30 people, so please register early! Beyond that we'll have to either seek additional space or close registration.</div><div><br></div><div>We're also looking for a few people interested in giving short (15-20 <span style="background-color: transparent; ">min.) talks, probably on Saturday afternoon. Anything of interest to </span><span style="background-color: transparent; ">the Haskell community is fair game---a project you've been working on, </span><span style="background-color: transparent; ">a paper, a quick tutorial. If you'd like to give a talk, <a href="goog_145539007">add it on </a></span><span style="background-color: transparent; "><a href="http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Hac_Boston/Talks">the wiki</a>.</span></div>
