BornHack 2016 starts saturday, august 27th, at noon (12:00). It will be possible to access the venue before noon if for example you arrive early in the morning with the ferry. But please don't expect everything to be ready before noon :)
BornHack 2016 ends saturday, september 3rd, at noon (12:00). Rented village tents must be empty and cleaned at this time, ready to take down. Participants must leave the site no later than 17:00 on the closing day (or stay and help us clean up).
There are several ways to get to Bornholm from Copenhagen. A domestic plane departs from Copenhagen Airport, and you can get from Copenhagen Central station by either bus or train via Ystad or the Køge-Rønne ferry connection.
If you are going to BornHack from abroad you have different options as well.
The venue is 24km from Rønne. We will have a shuttle bus that will pick people up and take them to the venue. It is also possible to take a public bus to near the venue. Local taxis can also get you here.
A car is very convenient when bringing lots of equipment. We realize that many hackers like to loads of equipment to hacker festivals. We do too. This is why we welcome cars at BornHack. We have ample parking space very close (less than 50 meters) from the main entrance.
Please note that sleeping on the parking lot is not permitted. If you want to sleep in your car/RV/autocamper/caravan please contact us, and we will work something out.
BornHack is first and foremost a tent camp. You need to bring a tent to sleep in. Most people go with some friends and make a camp somewhere at the venue. See also the section on Villages - you might be able to find some likeminded people to camp with.
We rent out a few cabins at the venue with 8 beds each for people who don't want to sleep in tents for some reason. A tent is the cheapest sleeping option (you just need a ticket), but the cabins are there if you want them.
We are working on sorting out the details. Plugs will be standard European 230V supply with type K plugs. Standard red 400V 16A CEE plugs will also be possible.
BornHack will have a wired and a wireless network. The wired network will run with public internet addresses (v6 and v6) so you must protect yourself with a firewall at all times.
There will be two wireless networks, one with public addresses like the wired, and one which is behind NAT for ipv4 a stateful firewall for ipv6. The security on the wireless network will be EAP-TLS where any credentials will work.
BornHack will have a 1 gigabit fibre uplink to the outside world generously sponsored by BornFiber. We will have plenty of IP space to go around, courtesy of RIPE.
The bar area is the place to go when you are all hacked out and want to socialize with the other participants. Enjoy a cold beer or drink and some music, and discuss your projects with the people around you.
The bar will be run with an open budget and flexible prices. More on that later.
Opening hours of the bar have not been decided yet (but they will be compatible with the average hackers sleep cycle).
Surrounding the bar area is the noisy area. This is where you should place your tent / camp / village if you expect to make a lot of noise, especially at nighttime. Coversely the noisy area is a bad place to stay if you value peace and quite at night.
The noisy area forms square from top left I17 to bottom right Q23 on the map.
If this is your first hackercamp the term 'Village' might be confusing but it is fairly simple: a village is just a spot on the campsite where you and a bunch of your friends/likeminded people camp together. Apart from peoples individual tents which they sleep in, many villages bring a large common tent where you can hack and hang out during the day.
Villages can also rent village tents via us, head over to the villages section of the shop. The tents will be ready when you arrive and will be taken down again saturday the 3rd of September from 12:00. The tents have optional floors and you can rent folding tables and chairs as needed. You do not have to register a village or have a concept to rent a big tent.
You can register your village here! If you don't want to make your own village you might be able to find and join one that suits your interests. Get in touch with the villages team if you have any questions!
We are lucky enough to have a local food vendor (from the town Nexø) at the venue. He sells high quality sausages and burgers, Danish style. We are also looking into an agreement with a nearby pizza delivery place. More on that later.
We know that hackers like to cook for themselves, not just because of vegetarians/vegan diets. Everyone is encouraged to cook their own food, either in their own village kitchen or in the food area. Please note that coal powered barbeques are strictly forbidden on the camp grounds for fire safety reasons. If you want to cook with coal use the big barbeque in the food area! Gas and electrical barbeques are allowed in villages.
Part of the food area is a large outdoor kitchen area where participants are invited to cook their meals.
The closest place to buy groceries is a small place approximately 3.5 km away at Pedersker. About 7 km from the venue there is a larger selection at Aakirkeby. About 20km from the venue at Nexø there is an even larger selection still. We have a shuttle bus that will transport participants to and from grocery shopping, free of charge.
BornHack will have a shop/kiosk where you can buy a small selection of stuff you might need. We sell candy and a bit of food, softdrinks, charcoal for the barbeques, network cables, power adapters, a small selection of electronics, and so on.
The kiosk will also sell coffee (freshly ground quality beans) and a selection of tea. In the mornings we will also sell bread, see the seperate section on breakfeast.
The kiosk will be open from 8:00 in the morning (so hackers can get their morning coffee) until 20:00 in the evening. After 20:00 you can still get coffee, tea and softdrinks at the bar. But make sure you buy anything else you might need before 20:00 (charcoal for cooking late, or snacks for the the evening/night, or those LEDs you will need for a project later, and so on).
We have an agreement with a local quality bakery which will deliver a selection of fresh bread every morning. We will sell some in the shop, but we recommend you order bread you want the day before and it will be ready for you in the morning. You can place your orders in the shop.
The infodesk is where you go to find an organizer when you have questions of any kind. The infodesk is also where you go to:
The infodesk is located around M15 on the map (right outside the food area in the direction towards the bar).
CERT is short for Community Emergency Response Team. In case of a dangerous situation (accidents, fire and so on) these are the people to contact.
While the infodesk is open (from 10:00 to 20:00 every day) the CERT people can be reached here. Outside infodesk opening hours CERT can be reached at the official BornHack phonenumber which is +4593863720. This number is open 24 hours.
