Hi,
    Well, according to my email, we are moving into the forum in six
weeks time so I don't think the U of Ed will want to have this kind of
event until after the move.  I am not so sure about having a hackathon
in the burger king when the Malt Shovel is the same distance away from
Waverly Station but I could be persuaded if everyone else agrees.
