There are now less than 20 places left for DevXS (http://devxs.org) a
FREE national student (undergrad and postgrad) developer marathon spread
across three days, from Friday 11th to Sunday 13th November, in Lincoln,
UK. The focus of the event is to encourage student developers to team up
and build cool things that contribute to university / student life.
We now have over 50 universities represented, see:
http://devxs.blogs.lincoln.ac.uk/2011/10/10/mapping-devxs/
and the event has received good media coverage, see:

All you need to do is get here!. If you are not a student, it would be
great if you could pass this email onto relevant people in your
organisation.
Please note we actively encourage you to speak to computer science
tutors, who are also welcome to attend as long as they bring along some
students!. Tutors might be able to organise a team of you to attend
(e.g. travelling by minibus etc).
May be you are thinking of sponsoring the event, putting up prizes for
the best ideas, prototypes, setting challenges for your data, if you
are, please visit:
See: http://devxs.org/sponsors/
DevXS is about students sharing their ideas, mashing up data and
building prototypes that improve, challenge and positively disrupt the
research, teaching and learning landscapes of further and higher education.
There are going to be developers from universities around the country
hanging around to help you out.
We will provide free accommodation on the night of the 11th (twin rooms)
and then a relaxation zone on the 12th (bring your sleeping bag!). There
will also be free food and refreshments!
