archipylago #15 - December sprint at Konttori

Turku, Finland. December 11, 18:00-21:00. Christmas is at risk again and it's our job to help Santa and elves to save it. [Advent of Code](https://adventofcode.com/) is an annual Christmas calendar with daily puzzles to be solved by eager developers. The first puzzles of the year open December 1st and on Thursday 11th, we gather together at [Konttori](https://sites.utu.fi/konttori/) to solve puzzles, share ideas, compare solutions and learn new things. Whether you've solved all puzzles up to that date or have never opened the Advent of Code website, you're welcome to join! After we close the doors at Konttori, we move across the street to Portti to continue the good discussions.

For our second talk, Ilia joined us to talk about frontends for DIY electronics and smart home devices.
