Yes, sharing your knowledge and showing other participants about your projects is central for everything going on at the congress.

ASSEMBLY

On BalCCon2k23 we want to put also focus on groups meeting and discussing topics. For many groups it was hard to find a decent home base to discuss ideas and get new folks interested in their community. For interested hackers it became harder to find someone to talk to, as everyone was wandering around.

We have a solution for that:

"Hackerspace" on BalCCon

We want to capture the camp's spirit in semi-open assemblies called "Hackerspace" ;)

So, if you are a group of hackers who like to work and hang out together, bring your toys, work on projects, have fun and let others participate in what you’re doing! How to reserve space

Please let us know what you’d like to do, how much space you’ll need, what you’d like to bring with you, how much power your gear will consume, etc… Keep in mind: The more you tell us about your plans the better your chances that you’ll actually get what you want.

   send an email to jelena (at) balccon.org with subject BalCCon2k23 Assembly

Be aware: Only Assemblies that were added until 1st September will get their own place! So we bring our projects and set up workshops and so on?

Yes, sharing your knowledge and showing other participants about your projects is central for everything going on at the congress. If people in your Assembly want to offer workshops or maybe lectures on a small scale, maybe there’ll be enough space for you to integrate a workshop area into your Assembly. For bigger workshops there will be a workshop room. Great, we will bring ALL THE THINGS!
