Helsinki Payments Hackathon, 7-9 December: hackers will gather in Helsinki geekdom for a weekend of intense coding an collaboration.

This event is for the general public, and not only programmers. We actively welcome people with diverse skills like media or activism. There are many interesting non-programmer ideas around.

Refreshments and food are sponsored.

Free event. If you want to help the organizers, sign up to the facebook/google plus events, so we can better estimate requirements for space/refreshments.
