6th June 2017 session: log page

The 6th June hackaton happened on June 6th, organized by Gabriel Scherer, Thomas Bourgeat and Clément Pit-Claudel. A bunch of people met at MIT in Cambridge (MA, UK), and some other people participated from other locations -- plus the generally helpful folks on the #ocaml IRC channel that were implicitly participating.
