We like to keep our schedule easy-going. You are absolutely encouraged to host a spontaneous workshop or give a talk. Whether you want to drop a quick lightning talk or talk for an hour, there is plenty of space on the schedule!

Talks and workshops come in three flavors:

• scheduled sessions (via talks.hackenopenair.de)
• self-organized sessions (edit this wiki page on your own and give DECT: TALK a short info)
• /var/ (someone intends to provide ad-hoc sessions on $TOPIC and would like you to contact them on site)

ℹ️ Information:

• We’re offering recordings of sessions.
• When putting up a self-organized session: Check if the room is available (see schedule).
• If you plan on using the technical equipment at the tent (projector, pa system, etc.) make a quick call to DECT: TALK so we can set it up together w/ you.

New this year: Opt-in Recordings! For the first time in HOA history, we’re offering to record sessions. While we don't have a massive C3-style VOC, our team is running a sweet and simple recording environment: a video camera for the speaker, direct device output capture for your slides, two microphones, and a PA. Recording is strictly opt-in. So if you prefer your session to be an exclusive, in-person-only experience without cameras, that is perfectly fine too. For any questions regarding the recording setup, just reach out to i4n (4444).
