BornHack 2016 starts saturday, august 27th, at noon (12). 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). Participants must leave the site no later than 17:00 on the closing day (or stay and help us clean up).
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 further down.
We also have a few cabins onsite with 8 beds each for people who don't want to sleep in tents for some reason. A tent is the cheapest sleeping option, but the cabins are there if you want them.
The venue is 24km from Rønne Havn. 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.
There will be 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 only limited 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 approximately 3.5 km away at Pedersker. About 7 km from the venue there is a larger selection at Aakirkeby. We have a shuttle bus that will transport participants to and from grocery shopping, for free.
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).
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 for when you arrive and will be taken down again saturday the 3rd of September at 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!
BornHack will have a small 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 tea.
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 charcoal and other things you might need (for cooking late for example).
The combined infodesk/CERT contact point will cover the following functions:
Basically, the infodesk is where you go when you don't know where else to go. It will be manned from 10:00 in the morning until 20:00 in the evening. But CERT is 24/7 of course, and if the infodesk is closed, there is a phonenumber and a bell so you can get a hold of us.
