Planning of Hack'n'Hike 2016

[m-stein]

Like in 2015, we're planning to celebrate a Hack'n'Hike gathering again in May 2016. If you're interested in Genode and the community behind it, you're welcome to join us. The idea behind the Hack'n'Hike is to meet in a cozy accommodation in the country side, experience activities in nature during the day and encourage programming projects at the evening/night.

This issue shall serve as platform for the collaborative planning of the Hack'n'Hike 2016 and as information source for all participants. For private requests regarding the event, please send an email to hacknhike@genode-labs.com. If you're planning to join us, please let us know as soon as possible to simplify the organization.

[chelmuth]

Maybe we'll have a chance to book http://www.gutshaus-heeselicht.de/ this time?

[m-stein]

I've contacted them yesterday.

[m-stein]

Gutshaus Heeselicht has answered and they say that in May 2016, they have room for us expect at the weekends of Ascension Day and Pentecost. I liked the Monday-to-Friday constellation this year. So, I would propose 20th-23rd or 27th-30th of May for the next Hack'n'Hike. Any opinions on that?

The Gutshaus has room for 14 persons at a max. It provides a kitchen and dining room for self-catering only. I would make use of this offer and assign myself to the organization of breakfast and dinner if someone (or several people) would like to join me. Volunteers?

[chelmuth]

👍 from me for both dates. I'll gladly join you preparing meals - maybe @skalk could help us prepare the delicious pasta with egg plants we had in Saupsdorf 2012...

[nfeske]

It would be interesting to know if there is the opportunity to camp, in the case the 14 beds are not enough.

[m-stein]

@chelmuth
Cool that you want to join in catering :-). @ssumpf had some cooking ideas too. A bakery is near the Gutshaus. That should simplify breakfast preparation.

@nfeske
I had misunderstood something. They have room for up to 23 persons.

[m-stein]

If there is no objection against it until Wednesday, I would start reservation of the accommodation for 27th-30th of May.

[nfeske]

👍

[chelmuth]

@m-stein I'm a bit confused as I was notified of a comment by you (#1544 (comment)) Did you remove it later?

[m-stein]

@chelmuth
Yes. I was hitting the return key mistakingly. Sorry for the confusion :)

[m-stein]

[nfeske]

[ehmry]

I can make it.

[chelmuth]

Count on me.

[ponast]

For estimation purposes: count on 50% of me. Will know for sure at FOSDEM.

@ponast If this is possible for you, it would be good to have your decision till January 26th, i.e. before the FOSDEM, because this simplifies organization.

A short reminder: Tomorrow I'll have to report the number of participants to the Gutshaus Heeselicht. So, if you like to join us, post a short hint in here or send it to hacknhike@genode-labs.com. If you, however, are not able to determine till tomorrow whether you can make it, there are also ways to join us later.

[ponast]

Hello Martin,

I have all the permits in order now! I'll sign up!

Thank you Pontus :)

[ptokponnon]

Hello Martin, Sorry for my late reply, the Plan 1 is good for me. I recall that we are two (me and my collegue Emery).

[ehmry]

A second Emery?!

[ptokponnon]

Yeah, an other Emery. So that makes 2.

[m-stein]

I'm happy to announce that we have successfully booked the Gutshaus Heeselicht for 27 May, 3pm till 30 May, 12am. In addition to the information that you can find further up in the discussion, please consider also the following points if you'll stay with us in the Gutshaus:

• Please bring your own towel (and Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy)
• If you like, you can also bring a tent and camp in the park of the Gutshaus but please let us know in advance if you're planning to do so
• Unfortunately, pets are not allowed in the Gutshaus, so please no dogs, cats or naked mole-rats
• The reservation includes the bedding, so you don't have to bring your own
• If you're planning to join the outdoor activities I recommend you to bring some clothes that can get dirty, hardwearing shoes, and, just in case, rainwear

[chelmuth]

👍 for the hiking tour!

[trimpim]

👍 for the "Höllengrund" tour

I'll bring my RPI with me, so I can work on the I2C and SPI drivers.

If there would be other people interested in porting Genode to the RPI2, I could bring this with me too.

[ehmry]

Hiking is good.

[ponast]

Limo service is provided for free from Berlin Tegel for anybody arriving there on May 27th at 16:00. Return trip back to Tegel circa 09:00 Monday.

[vladimir-lu]

Unfortunately I won't be able to make this 😞

[m-stein]

@vladimir-lu Pity! Hopefully for enjoyable reasons.

[m-stein]

I've just received a note from the Gutshaus Heeselicht that everyone should bring his/her own slippers! As mentioned earlier, please also bring your own towel and the other stuff listed here. Happy packing ;)

[ehmry]

@ponast Is that a ride from Berlin all the way to Saxony?

[ponast]

@emery The ride is from Berlin Tegel to wherever you want to go. Most
likely Inn Erbgericht in Heeslicht. Want to join?

@ponast Yes please, I'll email you next week for the details.

[trimpim]

Yes, I will bring it, together with all documentation I'll be able to collect about it.

[m-stein]

@trimpim Very cool :)

[gwitmond]

Hi Pontus,

Does the limo have a third sofa? I'd like to hitch a ride too.

Cheers, Guido.

I've cleaned up the house and found some old flight tickets in the attic. I got myself a limo that fits the hand luggage so feel free to hop on at Berlin Schönefeld around 9:00 at 27th.

[ponast]

@gwitmond: Sorry for the late response, on vacation over the weekend on the
countryside.

[trimpim]

@chelmuth my flight will arrive at Dresden Airport around 09:00. Is it okay if I come to the Genode office?

[chelmuth]

@trimpim That's perfectly okay, but be aware that we'll be busy packing all the needed stuff and appreciate any helping hand ;-) There's no fixed time yet but I expect we'll not leave before 13:00.

[alex-ab]

Currently it looks like that nobody of the Genode team will take the public transport options as advertised by @m-stein. @parfito and and Emery: if you want to join us and get a ride by car please come to the Genode office (till approx. 13:30). From they Airport, you can take the train located in the basement and get off at the "Bahnhof Mitte" Station. From there it is a 200m walk to the Genode office at Friedrichstr. Also, one can call the phone number found at the genode-labs.com site to contact us directly.

[ehmry]

I'm getting a ride from @ponast, so no problem.

[ptokponnon]

hello, I want to apologize on behalf of my colleague Emery Assogba who is unable to come at the last minute. So, unfortunately I'll come alone.
Really sorry!

[m-stein]

Hey guys, all got home in one piece?
I'd like to thank you for coming and hope you've enjoyed this years Hack'n'Hike as much as I did?
I just started planning for the Hack'n'Hike 2017 (#1985), so have a look ;-)

[ptokponnon]

I am back in Brussels safely...
It was very nice, eagerly waiting for the next.

[chelmuth]

So it seems I have the pleasure to close this issue. I had a great time in Heeselicht and am looking forward to #1985.
