[Haskell-cafe] VirtuaHac - online Haskell hacathon
Overview VirtuaHac is a Haskell hacathon being planned using Google+ and a Wiki. The rules will be that if you have a project you'd like to participate in, then: 1. Create a darcs or git repository. 2. Post a Hangout in Google+. 3. Add a name, brief description, and links to the preceding two items to the Wiki. This way, we hope to recreate the idea of a Hacathon, but without the travel expenses or inconvenience. What Next? == I'm taking a poll of availability, at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dDZ3Tjh1RzVDeHdRYWhNTkNPNUhpNkE6MQ The poll will remain open for the next week, after which I'll choose a date so we can all start planning. -- Chris Smith ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe

Sounds good, but what is exactly the role of Google+ here? I don't have an account and was not planning to get one, so I wonder how bad my experience will be without it. -- Roman I.

Google+ is being used entirely for the Hangouts feature, which is their system for small-group video chat. Using Hangouts to simulate an in-person face-to-face group interaction was the original idea that motivated trying this out, so I see it as rather fundamental. But, I could be wrong. Certainly, anyone is welcome to watch the wiki and hack on the same projects at the same time. -- Chris Smith ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
