Perhaps Jeff Brace can remove that event link for the Interim Computer Festival. I don't have the access to make those kind of changes. The VCF website has always listed links to other similar events as a courtesy. Never heard of the ICF myself until you brought it up. I, too, see the link goes to an unavailable site.

Jeff, I guess my confusion with the workshop dates was because the Hackathon was the same day weekend!
Now I’m trying to figure out what the “interim Computer festival” is?
The link seems to be broken “service unavailable”.
