What is a Hackfest?
An opportunity for developers to get together, hack and talk about stuff.

The Hack Fest will be held over three days, Friday to Sunday (29-31 October). The first day we will be having organised talks while the second and third days will be unconference style. We will set the agenda for Saturday and Sunday during the Hack Fest itself.

What is the agenda?
The agenda is very flexible and there is space for more talks should anyone wish to give one, if you wish to do so please get in touch me and we will create a slot for you.
