[HacktionLab] CONFIRMED: HacktionLab Gathering 2025 @ Sumac Centre Nottingham - October 3, 4, 5

[Mike Harris]

Hi all,

This is now confirmed with the Sumac and we hope to have it on their 
events calendar on their website real soon.   :-)

I've updated the HacktionLab website with an informational page:

https://hacktionlab.org/index.php?title=HacktionLab_Autumn_2025

And a workshop/talk proposal page:

https://hacktionlab.org/index.php?title=Workshops_for_HacktionLab_Autumn_2025

Really looking forward to another gathering, in a different town, and 
meeting some new folks and seeing all your lovely familiar faces again.

Mark and I have been mainly working on it so far, but we welcome any 
other input, suggestions and help with it.

Cheers,


Mike.
