||
#### Entrance
|
||
|
||
As for every year, entrance at Hackmeeting is free, but always keep in
|
||
mind that Hackmeeting has a cost and subscriptions are necessary to the
|
||
survival of the event!
|
||
|
||
#### Who is organizing?
|
||
|
||
Hackmeeting is a yearly meeting of a community that communicates through
|
||
a mailing list. There is no distinction between organizers and users.
|
||
Everyone can subscribe and partecipate in the organization by visiting
|
||
the site www.hackmeeting.org and entering the community.
|
||
|
||
#### What is an hacker?
|
||
|
||
Hackers are curious persons, always eager to discover how things are
|
||
done. Be it technology or less, hackers reclaim freedom to experiment,
|
||
disassemble and reassemble things or concepts, to understand how they
|
||
are done and how to repeat and improve them. Hackers solve problems and
|
||
build things, believing in freedom and sharing. They do not love closed
|
||
systems. Hacker’s forma mentis is not restricted to the field of
|
||
software hacking: there are people that keep the hacker mentality in
|
||
every existing field, driven by their creative impulse.
|
||
|
||
#### Who helds the seminaries?
|
||
|
||
Whoever wants. If someone wants to propose a seminar, he just has to
|
||
propose it on the mailing list. If the proposal is well received, it
|
||
gets on calendar. If there are some problems, the community will be
|
||
happy to help improve the proposal.
|
||
|
||
#### What’s in there, besides seminars?
|
||
|
||
There is a LAN space, as to say an area dedicated to the web: everyone
|
||
can plug their laptop, forming a web with the other partecipants. In
|
||
general, this is the right place to meet other attendees, to ask for
|
||
help in installing Linux, to solve a doubt, or just to have a chat.
|
||
Hackmeeting is an open-air festival, a meeting, an hacking party, a
|
||
moment of consideration, an occasion to learn something together, an act
|
||
of riot, an exhange of ideas, experiences, dreams, utopies.
|
||
How much does the entrance cost? How is the event financed?
|
||
|
||
Traditionally, entrance in Hackmeeting is totally free: always keep in
|
||
mind that organizing the event has a cost. Expenses are sustained
|
||
through voluntary contributions, selling shirts and other gadgets and
|
||
sometimes through the earnings of the bar.
|
||
|
||
#### Where to sleep
|
||
|
||
Hackmeeting will be held near to an open green space: we suggest to
|
||
bring sleeping bags, mattressess and tents to camp. In case of rain, a
|
||
covered space will be organized.
|
||
|
||
If you want to arrive before Hackmeeting’s beginning, see the call for
|
||
support.
|
||
|
||
#### Where and what to eat
|
||
|
||
There is a self-organized kitchen, and we invite everyone to
|
||
partecipate. As for every year, alimentary necessities of every type
|
||
will be respected, so there will be vegetarian and vegan meals,
|
||
gluten-free meals and so on. If you have some necessity, write it in the
|
||
list.
|
||
|
||
#### What can I bring
|
||
|
||
If you want to bring a computer, take a power strip too. Do not forget
|
||
web devices (like Ethernet cables, switches, wi-fi). Remember to bring
|
||
the hardware that you will want to hack in company, and do not forget
|
||
sleeping equipment (see “Where to sleep”). No Internet connection is
|
||
guaranteed during the event so, if you think that you need it, bring a
|
||
3G stick with you and the necessary to share it with friends! Try to be
|
||
as independent as possible regarding your hardware.
|
||
|
||
#### May I arrive before Friday?
|
||
|
||
Do you want to arrive sooner? Wonderful! In the preceding days there is
|
||
always much to do (prepare web infrastructure, prepare seminar halls and
|
||
many other things) so any helping hand is well accepted. See the call
|
||
for support to know more.
|
||
|
||
#### How are people expected to behave
|
||
|
||
Hackmeeting is a self-managed space, a temporary independent space and
|
||
whoever passes through is expected to behave according to the principles
|
||
of antisexism, antiracism and antifascism. If you are victim or witness
|
||
of an act of oppression, aggression, brute force, port scan, ping flood
|
||
and other nonconsensual DOS and you do not know how to react, always
|
||
count on the community’s support and do not hesitate to attract
|
||
attention and ask for help.
|
||
|
||
May I take photos, make videos, post, tag, share, upload?
|
||
|
||
We think that the freedom to choose the dimensions of one’s own private
|
||
sphere and public profile must be guaranteed to every participant: in
|
||
this spirit, photos and/or videos are admitted only if explicitely
|
||
pointed and autorized by every person that appears in the media.
