    About the location

    From last years description:

    The city of Hamburg has throughout history taken its freedom and independance as a high treasure -- as can be seen from the motto: "LibertatemWikipedia logo v3.svg quam peperere maiores digne studeat servare posteritas". It is also the closest major city to the birthplace of the codebase that later became LibreOffice. We will meet at the Attraktor, one of the homebases of the Chaos Computer ClubWikipedia logo v3.svg, which has an interesting history starting with tales of international espionage during the cold war and much more (see Wikipedia). They have become older, wiser and tamer at least a bit since then, but still originate cool projects like Project BlinkenlightsWikipedia logo v3.svg. Hamburg is rumored to have one of the worst climates of Germany (constant low-intensity rain), but luckily springtime is an exception: It is a most wonderful place then -- with sunshine, but not too hot.

    One thing to add maybe: mid June the weather should be slightly warmer than mid April (as we had in 2012) ;-)

    Accompanying Program

    Friday evening: Meet and Greet

    On Friday evening at 20:00 local time we will meet in the Schachcafe, which is close to the event location and easy to find: If you exit the subway station "S-Rübenkamp", you are essentially walking though its Biergarten. We have a table reserved. Meeting there will allow our international guests to relax from their travel and will help everyone to get to know each other (at least it did so the last times ;) ).

    Sponsors

    We would like to thank our following sponsors and supporters for making the Hamburg Hackfest possible:

    • Attraktor e.V., for providing the venue, equipment and connectivity
    • Hamburg-based LibreOffice hackers, for offering couch surfing
    • The Document Foundation, for providing travel sponsoring
    • Lanedo, for sponsoring the drinks Friday night

    Interested in sponsoring the event with money or supplies? Contact the organizers!

    Accommodation

    Hamburg has a wide choice of hotels in every price range, including youth hostels. Quite affordable is e.g. the iBis-Hotel close to main station.

    Local LibreOffice hackers will also provide (limited) couch surfing capabilities, which will be handed out on a first-come-first-served basis. Please contact the organizers if you're interested - both for offering and requesting couch surfing.


    Travel Bursaries

    The Document Foundation may be able to refund tickets to and from the Hamburg Hackfest, after prior approval by the organizers, under the following conditions:

    • transportation-only, please sign-up for couch surfing if you need free accommodation
    • volunteer-first - people affiliated with a company involved in LibreOffice work will come last
    • first-come-first-served - participants will get reimbursed in order of their sign-up on the wiki attendance list, until budget runs out.
    • ask the organizers as soon as possible (ideally right before booking) if budget is still available. Be aware of the fact that tax law requires us to collect original receipts, so please keep them (or hand them in right there in Hamburg)

    Please be economic and pick cheap travel - that said, flights to Hamburg might still be available at a reasonable price.

    For those who attended: If you'd like to request a travel reimbursal, please follow the HowTo at TDF/Policies/Refunding for the SPI refunding, and mail treasurer@documentfoundation.org with your documents.
