Hi all,

I apologise that we haven't been sending to this mailing list the news
of the QA Hackathon for 2013.

Well this will be rectified immediately, in fact this communication does
so. There we go.

The hackathon site is up, we are looking for sponsors and attendees.
Please start spreading the word and make sure to check it out. We have a
weekly status update online at 19:30 on a Tuesday evening (times are
GMT) - all are invited to come along.

Hackathon Site: http://2013.qa-hackathon.org/qa2013/
Attendees: http://2013.qa-hackathon.org/qa2013/wiki?node=Attendees
Goals: http://2013.qa-hackathon.org/qa2013/wiki?node=Hackathon-Targets
Sponsors: http://2013.qa-hackathon.org/qa2013/sponsors.html

Please consider sponsoring, donating, writing about, promoting and
encouraging others.

Your participation and time is as always greatly appreciated.

Kind regards

Mark

What made you put it up at a new domain, rather than qa.perl.org? I was surprised.

There was no point. I wasn't debating. It was a question, asking for information.

Awesome! Should http://qa-hackathon.org/ get updated with this new
information? (It's number 1 on my hit list for duckduckgo "perl qa
hackathon").
