FAQ
Is this a paid event?
: There is no fee for anything at all. We’d love it if your friends can join, so don’t hesitate to bring them with you. Simply register for the event, come on in. Do spread the word and let more people know about Anthillhacks.
What about food and accomodation?
- Food
- There will be a kitchen at the camp where food will be made for the people at the camp. Kitchen takes contributions on a sliding scale. The village on the hill - about 200 meters also have a few street side “cafes”. Ofcourse, you can cook your own - camping style (no plastic thrash please). Please volunteer for the kitchen and cleanup.
- Accommodation
- There are a few rooms and a number of tents that can be reserved. You are welcome to pitch your own tent. You get to choose when you register. Please bring warm cloths for the evenings.
Should I bring…
- …my projects and tools?
- Oh yes, you should! Bring your whole project group and take a code retreat or whatever needs to be done — and get fruitful exchanges with the other participants. Please let us know what things you want to bring, so that we can arrange appropriate space for you.
- …my camping gear?
- Yes, please! Bring your tents, mattresses, sleeping bags, pillows, blankets. We have some to share, but never enough.
- …my trekking gear?
- Yes, please! Bring your shoes, backpacks, bottles, and all that stuff, and go for as many treks and walks you can!
- …my family?
- You are welcome to bring your husband, kids, wife, parents, cousins, friends. Please let us know the details in advance, so we can help to find appropriate accommodation for you. There are plenty of things to do for all ages and interests.
- …a spontaneous session?
- Yes. The unconference is all about spontaneous sessions. During the main conference days, priority is given to curated sessions, but you may be able to schedule yourself into unused spaces.
- …trash? (Ofcourse not!)
- Please leave no trace, pack it in and then pack it out. However, we will have activities and discussions on trash and waste management, organic composting, bio-toilets and traditional methods of addressing food waste.
