Newcastle2010

The idea is to have a live coding festival in Newcastle, UK, some time in the latter half of 2010. It would likely be over a long weekend, and include talks, performances and workshops (including for absolute beginners) -- with performances hopefully in a high spec planetarium. There would hopefully be funding available to contribute towards travel and accommodation of those performing or presenting, who did not have their own funding.

To see whether it is a goer, we need to gauge interest. Please add yourself below (click the 'edit' link) if you'd be interested in coming along, where you'd be coming from and optionally the kind of thing you'd like to see, along with any other comments.
