Dev8d  is a hackday / unconference event for developers in education / academia. It’s hosted at the University of London Union and is free to attend, although you will need to book you place in advance.

A number of biogeeks will be in attendance this year. Let us know if you’re coming along. We’re thinking about running some kind of bioinformatics workshop, but we need to come up with a good idea, so any suggestions are welcome!
