Welcome to issue 179 of the HWN, a newsletter covering developments in the Haskell community. This release covers the week of April 16 to 23, 2011.
Announcements
Alex Mason announced the second annual Australian Haskell Hackathon to be heald from Friday July 8th to Sunday July 10th, at the UNSW's Computer Science building in Sydney. Come share with your fellow Australasian Haskellers!
"The Hac" team invited us to HacPhi 2011, a Haskell hackathon/get-together to be held July 29 to 31 at the University of Pennsylvania, in Philadelphia. Daniel Wagner wanted to stress that "everyone is welcome--you do not have to be a Haskell guru. Helping hack on someone else's project could be a great way to increase your Haskell-fu."
Robert Clausecker asked "Is Hugs dead?". Sad to see projects of this sort fade into the past.
