Please add links to reports, blog posts, photos etc about the event here:

Location

Bodenstedtstr. 16 (Hinterhof Eingang West), 22765 Hamburg (OpenStreetmap waypoint)

The event will be hosted in the former Victoria Kaserne, now called Fux (or Frappant), which is a collective art space located in a historical monument. It is located between S-Altona and S-Holstenstraße, so there is a direct subway connection to/from the Hamburg Airport (HAM) and Altona is also a long distance train station.

There's a Gigabit-Fiber uplink connection and wireless coverage (almost) everywhere in the venue and in the outside areas. (And then, we can also fix locations without wireless coverage.)

Within the venue, there are three main areas we will use, plus the garden and corridors:

dock europe

dock europe is a meeting space within the venue which offers three rooms which can be combined into one big one. During the Mini-DebCamp from Wednesday to Friday we will probably use the rooms in the split configuration, while on Saturday and Sunday it will be one big room hosting presentations and such stuff. There are also two small rooms we can use as small hacklabs for 4-6 people.

dock europe also provides accomodation for some us, see further below.

CCCHH hackerspace

Just down two corridors in the same floor and building as dock europe there is the CCC Hamburg Hackerspace which will be open for us on all five days and which can be used for "regular Debian hacking" or, if you find some nice CCCHH members to help you, you might also be able to use the lasercutter, 3d printer, regular printer and many other tools and devices. It's definitly also suitable for smaller ad-hoc workshops but beware, it will also somewhat be the noisy hacklab, as it will also be open to regular CCC folks when we are there.

fux und ganz

The Fux also has a cantina called "fux und ganz" which will serve us (and other visitors of the venue) with lunch and dinner. Please register to ease their planning as well!

Available rooms summary

all 5 days: seminar rooms of dock europe - used as hacklab for the MiniDebCamp and for talks during the conference CCC Hamburg Hackerspace (German page) - used during Conf for hacking, not sure if needed during Camp the big room with the blue roof - lots of space and wireless

friday to sunday only: "besprechungszimmer" next to dock europe office kitchen-backroom next to dock europe (shared with regular users of the kitchen) another bigger hacklab in the catacombs



(No more) available beds on site

There are no available beds left.

There is also limited on-site accomodation available, dock europe provides 34 beds in 10 double-rooms, 2 tripple-rooms and 2 quad-rooms in the venue. The rooms are nice, small, clean, have a locker, wireless and are just one floor away from our main spaces. There's also a sufficient amount of showers and toilets and breakfast (for 5e per day) is available (for those 34 people) as well.

Thankfully nattie has agreed to be in charge of distributing these 34 beds, so please mail her if you want a bed. The beds will be distributed from two buckets on a first come, first serve base:

22 beds for anyone, first come, first serve, costs 27e/night.

12 beds for video team, frontdesk desk, talk meisters, etc, also by first come, first served and nattie decides, whether you qualify indeed. Those also costs 27e/night.

Please note that there is an additional one-time fee of 6e for linen and towels.

other housing options

Meininger is near by

Stadthaushotel in Holstenstrasse is close too

the "ICE Hotel" or the "Hotel Central" in Präsident-Krahn-Straße are close as well

the Ghotel at corner Kaltenkirchener Platz / Stresemannstraße is also close http://www.ghotel.de/ suggest this hotel has closed

Youth hostel at Landungsbruecken, 3 subway stations away

Food

sponsored food for pre-registered attendees. (There's a nice cantina on site, we just need to find ways not to DoS them… AIUI we should eat lunch from 13h30, not 12h00 when the cantina officially opens)

in the on-site accomodation kitchen there's breakfast every day from 9 to 10.

Cantina is happy to serve us & we will have a 1st meeting in January.

Debian Sprints

The miniDebcamp from Wednesday to Friday is a perfect opportunity to host Debian sprints. We would welcome if teams assemble and work together on their projects. The following sprints will happen:

Debian Edu (Thursday and Friday, probably also Saturday and Sunday)

Security team sprint/meeting on Friday, May the 18th

Debian Perl Group (mainly Thursday/Friday)

Reproducible Builds, all days. We don't have concrete plans yet, but will be there all days and have plenty issues to work on and where help is appreciated.

Visa

For those in need of a visa invitation letter to get a visa, send a request to visa@minidebconfhamburg.debian.net. An invitation letter does not include travel cost reimbursement. If you can not cover the travel costs yourself, mail at the above mail address and we'll try our best to get it covered somehow.

Making a Mini DebConf happen costs money, we need to rent the venue, video gear, hopefully can pay hard working volunteers lunch and dinner and maybe also sponsor some travel. So we really appreciate companies willing to support this meeting!

We have three sponsor categories:

>1000€ = sponsor listed as such in all material can place up to a A3 poster of their company put A4 leaflets on a common table logo featured on the t-shirts (provided t-shirts are printed)

>2500€ = gold sponsor listed as such in all material can put up a roll-up of their company somewhere in the conference area logo featured prominently on the t-shirts (provided t-shirts are printed) logo featured in the videos

>5000€ = platinum sponsor listed as such prominently in all material can put up a roll-up of their company next to the speaker logo featured very prominently on the t-shirts (provided t-shirts are printed) logo featured prominently in the videos



Plus, there's corporate registration as an option too, where we will charge you 250€ for the registration. Please contact us if you are interested in that!

Organisation

If you plan to attend the event you are welcome to help, just add a comment to yourself at Registration and probably best to join #debconf-hamburg on OFTC and say so there.

IRC meetings for planning

To plan the Mini-DebConf we have regular meetings on on IRC on irc.oftc.net in the channel
