Description
A hackfest! We will work on Inkscape bugs, new features, and packaging as well as website issues; in fact anything that can benefit from developers and users being physically in the same space.
Date
April 11th through 13th just before the Libre Graphics meeting (April 15th-18th).

A buffet lunch will be provided each day. There will also be an unlimited supply of tea, coffee and biscuits. Sugar, milk and soy milk will be provided.
Facilities

coming from outside the UK!!)

Nearby amenities
There are a few pubs, bars, cafes and coffee shops 5 minutes walk away from the venue if we want a change of scenery. There is also a small convenience store.
The venue is located on the Woodhouse Ridge nature trail if you want to step out for some fresh air.
