Re: [python-uk] robotics, software & devices hackathon 11-12 April, London

[Erika Pellegrino]

I like hackathons because there you can meet people, code quietly, make
experiments, learn playing  even if concurrence is bloody :D ... all
the rules (written or not) are respected ... each time I attend a new one I
learn more (technically and humanly ) ... I attended also this :)

erika

P.S.
I forgot ... there you can also eat the best pizza you have never eaten :)
 also tesco sadwiches ... but anyway none is perfect ;)
