You're invited!
We meet (almost) every three months for hakken.irl, a small three-day (Friday to Sunday) hackathon that's just about having fun and nerding around.
What will we be doing?
There is only one set agenda point: riding with Critical Mass. In general, we'll be hakking on pub.solar related stuff like our Infrastructure.
Examples include:
- updating the pub.solar infrastructure servers to NixOS 23.11,
- migrating our website to a new server,
- defining the default directory contents for new Nextcloud users,
- configuring nginx to serve Matrix vhosts,
- creating digital animations,
- touching up photographs and making music,
- playing Wizard, cards and board games,
- cooking, ordering, and eating together,
- and making fun of neoliberals.
So is it just for über-nerds?
It's pretty nerdy over all, and you should definitely bring your laptop. However we don't really care what you do while you're with us. It's good if you can also entertain yourself with a project. We use the space to work together and connect, but if we vibe you can also just sit with us and play games all day.
What do I have to pay?
It's free, but if we order food or get some stuff at a kiosk it'd be cool if you chip in. A small donation to the association is also always welcome.
Where do I sleep?
If you cannot find an (affordable, cool, safe) place to stay, then talk to us. We'll surely be able to set you up with a place to stay somewhere.
Where do I sign up?
Write us a short message. You can reach us via Matrix and Mastodon, or send a mail to crew@pub.solar.
When will this happen?
hakken.irl starts on the last Friday of the month at 13:12 and ends on Sunday 16:20.
We're meeting up every three months, typically in January, April, July and October.
