Scalathon 2012 registration now open. July 27-29, Philadelphia

[Yuvi Masory]

Registration is now open for Scalathon 2012 (http://scalathon.org/2012/)!
Scalathon is the International Scala Hackathon, which last year sold
out with attendees from more than 10 countries.

The main event runs July 28-29 (Sat & Sun). It will include brief
talks by representatives from many open source Scala projects. These
talks will show you how to build, modify, and start contributing to
the project. With this year's enhanced venue, the hackathon rooms will
be open 24 hours a day, all three days, for anyone who wants to work
off-hours. There will be projects for every interest and skill level.
You can register for Sat/Sun here:

Friday July 27 is a special add-on day focusing on the "Anatomy of a
Scala Project." We will have many workshops focused on setup,
building, testing profiling, documenting, releasing, and hosting Scala
projects. Due to its hands-on nature this add-on day is appropriate
for newbies and the most hardened Scala developers alike. You must
separately register for Friday:

This year's Scalathon will be held at the Valley Forge Casino Resort
(https://www.vfcasino.com/). The Resort offers attendees an
unparalleled level of accommodation, including 7 restaurants, 4 bars,
a spa, casino, nightclub, and fitness center. We recommend waiting to
book your hotel room until the discount rate has been arranged. The
Resort is across from the serene Valley Forge National Historical
Park, and few minutes from King of Prussia Mall, the largest shopping
mall in the United States. We hope this venue will complement
Scalathon's focus on developing social contacts within the open source
community.

Scalathon 2011 sold out long in advance, as did NE Scala 2011/2012.
Please take our advice and register early!

Details are still developing, but you can count on all days including
food (probably breakfast/lunch).
