Infrastructure

Electricity

The campsite provides us with a basic electricity supply: Notebooks, gadgets and colorful lights can be operated and charged. However, you should plan to bring a few meters of cable to connect your tents.
Additionally you shoud bring a CEE blue adapter if you have one.
This year we will be charged per kWh from the operator of the campsite. Should you plan to bring your electrically powered pizza ovens, water heaters, whirlpools or similar appliances please contact us beforehand.

Communication

On the campsite LAN and WiFi are available. We hope that we will be able to connect our network to the Internet with sufficient bandwidth.

FTTT - Fiber to the tent

Besides classical copper-based network Fiber to the Tent will be available this year. By this free added-value service we will provide you with the usual performance of the HOA network - but with the good feeling to have finally arrived in the Cyber^WFiberspace.
To be put on the waiting list for one of the contested ports write an email to fttt@hackenopenair.de.

PMR

There will be no DECT service this year. For organisation we will use Personal Mobile Radio (PMR446). We will have ready a few spares. If you own one by yourself: bring it.

Food

The public breakfast last year was a success. Thus for this year a breakfast flatrate is included in your ticket. We will provide you with an extensive breakfast every morning.
But for the rest of the day there will be no central catering. Please plan to be self-sufficient
Anyone who likes to prepare food for or with others is welcome: Food hacking, cooking events and workshops are encouraged.
A bar with caffeinated and noncaffeinated alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks will be (at least) on the hacking-plaza. Of course, we will offer Tschunk as well.
