The CCC Camp is going to take place on the same weekend as the hackaton, its location is near berlin and it only happens once every 4 years. Unfortunately i already had my plane ticket to the CCC when the hackaton was announced :( Maybe we could do it in CCC? Here is the list of "villages" registered for the event: http://events.ccc.de/camp/2011/wiki/Villages The one called "Lazy Evaluation" seems to be the appropriate place to do this sort of thing there... Ideas ? 2011/6/16 Christopher Done

I might go to BERLHAC if there's free cake.

hi all,

since i won't be able to make it to philly, but really wanted to attend, i thought maybe it would be fun to spread this event over two time zones? i have office space (decent internet, projector, etc.) in the heart of berlin for about five people; if more are interested, we could keep looking for something bigger.

i guess you could argue that the point of hackathons is to avoid having more technology (video talks, conference lines, chat) in the way of communication, but at the same time i would like to gather some more experience with holding distributed events. i think it can be done.

but before i start advertising, i would like to ask you organisers and attendees: how do you feel about the idea? would you like to link up with us if i find people to attend in berlin, or would you prefer me to stay out of your way?

looking forward to reading your thoughts, cheers, matthias

PS: in case that makes a difference: i'm interested in working on snap, but you should probably count me into the watch-and-learn category among the attendees.

hugo, are you sure about the dates? i get: ccc camp: aug 10th - 14th hack phi: july 29th - 31st isn't that orthogonal to opening a german branch of hack? or am i confused again? if i'm right: i'm tempted to do both, but i can't commit to the ccc week-end yet. so i tend towards sticking with the original plan and offer a location on the hack phi week-end). cheers, matthias On Thu, Jun 16, 2011 at 05:40:42PM +0100, Hugo Gomes wrote:
