Things I really enjoy in Boston: - The Museum of Fine Arts, right across the street from Northeastern - The Freedom Trail, a self-guided walking tour of many historic Boston sights This goes through the North End, which is a nice place to walk around all on its own. - The Boston Harbor Islands

Since ICFP early reg has opened, I wanted to reconfirm these dates. Plus, since there are some Saturday sessions, it might be good to know more if possible about the Hacketathon on Saturday, in case anyone isn't sure what to choose? On Wed, May 8, 2013 at 3:00 PM, Doug Williams

I checked again and there's a page for this: https://github.com/plt/racket/wiki/RacketCon-Hackathon-2013 So I suppose I'm suggesting fleshing it out more if possible, including for example the suggested projects. On Tue, Jul 2, 2013 at 6:30 PM, Greg Hendershott greghendersh...@gmail.com wrote:
