Save the date! HOA24 will take place from Tuesday to Saturday (09. - 13.07.2024)!
Tickets are available on `tickets.hackenopenair.de <https://tickets.hackenopenair.de/>`__!
The Hacken Open Air is best hacker camping, hosted by the `Stratum 0 <https://stratum0.org>`__. Together with you, we want to tinker, discuss and be creative in the middle of the nature.
The location will once again be the Pfadfinderheim Welfenhof in Gifhorn, close to Brunswick.
Adress::
Pfadfinderheim Welfenhof
III. Koppelweg 6
38518 Gifhorn
Arrival
=======
If you are arriving by train, we can pick you up at the train station Gifhorn (not Gifhorn Stadt!).
Register your ride ahead of time: +49 1556 1601391 (call, text message).
If you are arriving by car, use the II. Koppelweg, turn into Barnbruchsweg
and then drive onto the III. Koppelweg.
(The III. Koppelweg is closed on the Osttangente.)
Infrastructure
==============
The campsite has fixed indoor showers and toilets, and we build open-air showers.
In addition, we offer area-wide `electricity <https://wiki.hackenopenair.de/info/power>`__, DECT and Wi-Fi, so you are perfectly equipped for hacking and chilling. For RV enthusiasts, there are a limited number of `additional sites for rent <https://tickets.hackenopenair.de/>`__ on the site.
To chill there will probably be a pool with a sauna, as well as a directly adjacent campfire.
There you can enjoy the evening with drinks at the bar.

:title: Map of the HOA. Three camping areas to the west, south and east. To the north, a permanent building with showers and restrooms. Directly south of that a kitchen tent and the bar. From there to the east campfire, pool, sauna and outdoor showers. In the center another kitchen tent, the hack center with info desk, the lecture yurt and the market place. To the north is the driveway, to the south-west is the forest and to the south-east is the canal. The site is roughly rectangular, with the shorter sides facing north and south.
(H)Elves
========
As a community event, the HOA would not exist without the participation of the participants.
As every year, there are lots of things to do in preparation, during the event and during dismantling.
In the current phase of preparations, the first task is to find contact persons for all trades who will then be responsible for preparing the event and coordinating the work during the event.
As always, interested parties are cordially invited to take part in the organization meetings!
The next dates will be announced in the `Stratum 0 calendar <https://stratum0.org/wiki/Termine#Hacken_Open_Air>`__ and on the `mailing list <https://lists.stratum0.org/mailman3/postorius/lists/hoa-orga.stratum0.org/>`__.
We will be happy to answer any further questions at `kontakt@hackenopenair.de <mailto:kontakt@hackenopenair.de>`__.
Workshops and lectures
======================
At HOA24 we want to create a framework for workshops and lectures on a wide range of topics from technology, culture, science and society.
There will again be several locations for this, such as a hack center with soldering equipment, a workshop yurt with daylight, a lecture yurt with a projector and plenty of space on and around the site.
Workshops and lectures can be booked before and during the event directly in the `Wiki <https://wiki.hackenopenair.de/public/workshops>`__ before and during the event or submitted by email to `talks@hackenopenair.de <mailto:talks@hackenopenair.de>`__.
Please always tell us the desired time, place, title, description, name/nick of the speaker and at least one contact option (e-mail, cell phone number or DECT number).
A list of past events can be found in the `Internet Archive <https://web.archive.org/web/20231112160207/https://wiki.hackenopenair.de/public/workshops>`__.
We will be happy to answer any further questions regarding submissions at `talks@hackenopenair.de <mailto:talks@hackenopenair.de>`__.
We love colorful lights and would be delighted if HOA24 is as beautiful as the previous HOA.
Anyone who has ideas for decorations or art installations is welcome to get involved (again).
We will be happy to answer any further questions about art and decoration at `kontakt@hackenopenair.de <mailto:kontakt@hackenopenair.de>`__.
