## Info
|
||
|
||
|
||
* **Who is organizing?**
|
||
Hackmeeting is a yearly meeting of a community that communicates
|
||
through
|
||
[a mailing list](https://www.autistici.org/mailman/listinfo/hackmeeting). There
|
||
is no distinction between organizers and users. Everyone can subscribe
|
||
and partecipate in the organization by visiting the site
|
||
[it.hackmeeting.org](https://it.hackmeeting.org) and entering the community.
|
||
|
||
* **What is an hacker?**
|
||
Hackers are curious people, always eager to discover how things are
|
||
done. Whether it is technology or not, hackers reclaim freedom to
|
||
experiment, disassemble and reassemble things or concepts, to
|
||
understand how are they made, to improve them, and then to share how
|
||
to do it again. Hackers solve problems and build things, believing in
|
||
freedom and sharing. They do not like closed systems. Hackers' 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 holds the talks?**
|
||
Whoever wants to. If someone wants to propose a talk, they 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 talks?**
|
||
There is a LAN space, as to say an area dedicated to the net: everyone
|
||
can plug their laptop, forming a network with the other participants. 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 rebellion, an exhange of ideas, experiences, dreams, utopias.
|
||
|
||
* **How much does it cost?**
|
||
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.
|
||
Please donate whatever you can, every small donation counts.
|
||
|
||
* **Eating**
|
||
There is a self-organized kitchen, and we invite everyone to
|
||
participate. As for every year, alimentary restrictions of every type
|
||
will be respected, so there will be vegetarian and vegan meals.
|
||
We also try to respect any other necessity (gluten-free meals and so
|
||
on), if this is your case please write it in
|
||
the mailing list.
|
||
|
||
* **What shall I bring?**
|
||
If you want to bring a computer, take a power
|
||
strip too. Do not forget networking hardware (like Ethernet cables,
|
||
switches, WiFi access points). Remember to bring the hardware that
|
||
you will want to hack in company. We will try to get some internet
|
||
connection for everybody to share, but we can't really guarantee anything.
|
||
If you think that you need it, bring a 3G/4G 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 Thursday?**
|
||
Do you want to arrive sooner? Wonderful! In the preceding days there is
|
||
always much to do (arrange network infrastructure, arrange seminar halls and
|
||
many other things) so any helping hand is well accepted.
|
||
Maybe just let us know in advance by sending a message in the list!
|
||
|
||
* **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 explicitly
|
||
authorized by every person that appears in the media. Nobody should be
|
||
photographed without knowing.
|
||
Many people at Hackmeeting really care about their privacy, please ask
|
||
before taking a picture.
|
||
|
||
* **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 non-consensual 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.
