North West England Hackday 3 Saturday 3rd December was the North West England annual hackday held at the Shadowcat offices in Lancaster once again (for those of you who didn’t know – or just guess – we have been the proud hosts of all three hackdays thus far). This year the plan was to hack [...]

NWE.pm End of Year Xmas party
