Dear all, Thank you to those who came to the hack event on Wednesday - it was a busy night of hacking!
I've collected summaries of everyone's activities that night, and posted them here: http://reynard.io/2016/11/16/CompHack.html - please let me know if there's anything I've missed or you think needs adding. The next hack event is currently scheduled for 7th Feb 2017 at Pembroke, and we'll get a doodle etc up soon for it.
