[committee] Group of Eight Hackathon

[James Arcus]

For your information, our next committee meeting will be on Thursday and 
we'll discuss the idea in more detail then.

If you'd like to talk to us about this further in the mean time/in real 
time, you're welcome to join us on our Discord server at

Cheers,

James

P.S: Oops, hadn't realised Tim was already on writing a reply when I
