"We are running a simple AI survey for members to get to understand what people’s uses and needs are and how we can help. If you haven’t filled it in then please do, it doesn’t require specialist developer knowledge. [https://www.getfeedback.com/r/MVDhukSf/](https://www.getfeedback.com/r/MVDhukSf/)
Also we have fixed the dates for the next hackathon which will take place on 1 & 2 October in the West Midlands, with some travel bursaries available.
This one will be different from the previous two hackathons, as it will focus on bringing the co-op movement together, to create a joined up digital infrastructure."

Suitably vague focus on the hackathon! On the same topic, I was having an interesting chat with someone from Manchester Met UX Developer course, who says their foriegn students get bored over the Summer Holidays and maybe if we put on a hackathon type event or challenge with some sort of prize for during the summer holidays he could probably get a decent group of people together to work on a problem for us. So worth thinking about.
