To us, the Hack'n'Hike 2017 was a big success, like in the past years. We had a great hike through the Zittauer mountain landscape, enjoyed the view from atop of several extraordinary rock formations, and visited the beautiful monastery ruin in Oybin.

From the hacking perspective, probably the most significant project was the Quake 3 scenario of @cnuke and @ssumpf. They achieved to let us play Quake 3 on Genode in LAN multiplayer in the end. With fluent 70-120 FPS using the Intel GPU driver and low-latency sound. That was a great experience and a lot of fun. Furthermore, there were projects working on a Freeciv port, Raspberry Pi 3 support, native i.MX USB support, tooling for the new depot/package system, Virtualbox 5 support in Muen, and more ... .

That said, we'd like to invite you to continue hacking and hiking with us in 2018 ;-) This issue is meant as base for organizing, joining in, and getting informed. So, please feel free to post here if you have questions or suggestions regarding the Hack'n'Hike and, if you're interested, keep an eye on the issue as we will post all news in here.

I'd love to move the next event back to Saxon Switzerland. Does anybody know the Zirkelstein Resort (http://www.zirkelsteinresort.de, http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=16/50.8761/14.2173&layers=C)? It might be a candidate with those nice Bungalows and the Czech border just at a stone's throw.

@chelmuth I vaguely remember that we were in contact with the Zirkelstein Resort already some years ago and that for reasons it was not suitable for the Hack'n'Hike.

I have sent requests to the other three locations.

Are there any opinions or even helpful hands, so we can finalize a date and location for the next event before December? I'm afraid it will become harder to find a nice accommodation that fits our needs the later we start the booking.

The Zirkelsteinresort is fully booked (at weekends) until 2019 o_O
As each of the other three options had its downs, I'll start looking out again for alternatives.

@m-stein thanks for the travel information but I doubt many of us will make the train at 9 on Monday. From past experience, we may leave the venue earliest at 11.

Some activity suggestions

Hike to Jonsdorf's "city of rocks"

Distance: about 10 km in total
Duration: about 4 hours including a stop for lunch in the restaurant at the rock formation "Nonnenfelsen"

Location: next to our accomodation.
Description: provides several parcours from 1m height to 11m height with a variety of obstacles of different levels of difficulty to get over
Website: www.kletterwald-zittauergebirge.de

Afterwards we could have a short trip to one of the restaurants in Großschönau or barbecue directly in the climbing forest as offered on their website.

I've updated the journey information adding my offer for a drive-by-bike group and adding later options for the return journy by train around 12am instead of 9am.

@trimpim Cool to hear that you'd like to join :)
I think that you don't need to bring your bike. You can have one of mine (1, 2, 3) if you like or you can also rent one in the RollOn Dresden (nice guys, I drove one week with one of their bikes).

@m-stein I don't know if your frame size will fit me, as you are qite a bit larger as me, if I remember correctly. But number 3 looks very nice. Will there be the possibility to transport my suitcase in any other way?

@m-stein then will fit well. My frame is 52 and I have about 5 cm additional seatpost.

Could anyone who would like to join in for the climbing forest please give a short feedback?

It's 18€ per person.
We start from our accomodation Sunday the 27.05. at 10:00 am towards the climbing forest (no long walk, it is located right behind the trixi park). At 10:30 am we'll have our introduction there. We can stay there for 2:30 h (i.e. until 1:00 pm; of course you can leave earlier if you want to), afterwards we look out for a place to have lunch and after this we may add a short hike till dinner.

Thanks @m-stein for the splendid program summary. I like to add only that the minibus leaves Dresden about 1 pm from our office address. We plan to have a quick lunch at about 12.

A brief checklist for everyone

  • You don't have to bring towels (for the bath) or bedding
  • There are supermarkets (Aldi, Netto, Diska) in Großschönau for those who want to buy food or beverages for themselves (the basic catering is provided by Genode Labs)
  • There is a swimming lake in the Trixi Park so you might want to bring a beach towel and swimming trunks
  • For those who drive with our minibus: Please try to be at the Genode Labs office at 11 am
  • For those who join in the hiking and the climbing forest: Please bring some sturdy footwear (apart from that you don't need special stuff for the climbing forest)

Another hint:
Two days ago they've found a bomb from World War II in Dresden which they didn't manage to defuse until now. This is why at least until 6 pm of today the airport Dresden remains closed and there might be effects on the train schedules as well! Please keep yourself informed about the situation if you come from outside of Dresden. You can also ask us, so, we might help you finding an alternative.

@m-stein I'd like to thank you for splendid job you did with organizing our Hack'n'Hike weekend! Given the massive trouble with the reservation of Forsthaus Bielatal, I am especially happy that the new location worked out so well in the end.

I enjoyed the weekend very much and already look forward to the next instance. :-)
