Hi, Innes.
Thank you very much for your kind offer. I added you in the google
spreadsheet, so feel free to add any related data as you found.
I am going to announce my Hackathon sometime next week. I meant Hackathon
to be a local event in london, but do you think there will be a need to
allow online participants, too (there won't be any prizes, but may be
interesting to exchange info)?
Hi, Henry
A few of my friends actually contacted the committee, but I heard that
the committee doesn't want to get involved at all. I will also give a try,
but I don't have a high hope...
Thanks.
Makoto
