Open day 2012

We are just starting to organise the 2012 open day. If you've been looking for a way to contribute to Nottinghack, now is a good time to get involved.

See last year's open day 2011 for inspiration.

If you want to get involved but you can't be bothered to edit this wiki then please drop an email to the mailing list discussion here.
