Following up on the Haskell eXchange, we will hold a two-day Haskell Hackathon at Pivotal. Everyone is welcome, beginners and experts alike, and not just participants at the Haskell eXchange, but everyone who would like to participate in a two-day coding festival.
Unlike many of the other Haskell Hackathons, however, this one will have a theme: We will work on improving the Haskell infrastructure, and in particular Cabal and Hackage. This means that we specifically invite people who have worked on these projects already or would like to get involved. We will try to organize some ad-hoc talks and presentations to help newcomers navigate the existing codebase and to highlight interesting problems and issues to work on.
It is also planned to organise another, similarly themed, Hackathon a few months later in order to finish off, commit and merge projects started at the first and to hopefully celebrate progress. It is, however, not at all necessary to commit yourself to attending both Hackathons.

About the speaker...
Andres Löh
Andres Löh is a long-time functional programming enthusiast. He has started using Haskell in 1997 while being an undergraduate studying mathematics. He obtained his PhD on datatype-generic programming using Haskell from Utrecht University in 2004. Since then, he has continued to use Haskell in research and practice, including teaching various courses both to students and participants from industry. His main interests, next to datatype-generic programming, are embedded domain-specific languages, unleashing the full power of Haskell's type system, parallelism and applying functional languages to real-life problems. Since 2010, Andres is an independent Haskell consultant and partner at Well-Typed LLP.
