I am not sure if any of you already knows about SHA2017
This is a giant hacker camp which is held every 4 years in The Netherlands.
I will go there for sure, so it might limit my time to attend the EFCT in the last weekend. (2 days overlap), but if any of you feels like it; consider attending and maybe we can make a Fairphone Community Village at the camp and do workshops there with the hacker and maker community!
For Den Haag we could book a global greeter and get a free tour of the city. Iāve done it in Paris an New York. Itās always better to get a tour from a local.
Thatās a really good idea! I had only known the Free Walking Tours, which always have a fixed schedule. We will contact them when we know the exact day of our Den Haag visit.
I sent you an email. About the place to stay: Iāll add you to the group PM where we were discussing the apartments etc. You will have to ask there. If nobody is able to host you, youāll have to find a place to stay yourself.
PS: you can also ask in the matrix chatroom (link above).
Short update: The organization team will meet up online on Friday and will finalize the schedule on that occasion. So check back later this week for the complete #efct17 schedule.
I am doing the Qi via expansion port workshop but I wonāt be there, thus via video.
I would solder a second Qi receiver ready for use, but I guess I will be late for any shipping. Hence my Question: Anyone from Munich (or Augsburg) area going to this yearās efct and willing to pick up the pad on Thursday or Friday next week?
Iāve heard back from the āThe Hague Greetersā. They sadly cannot accompany 12 people for a tour. My contact there suggested a boat tour . Iām sorry it didnāt work out.
Hi, I want to take part in the EFCT 17, I need a place to stay in Amsterdam during the EFCT17, is anything available? Is anyone driving from Berlin to Amsterdam and could offer me a ride? Thanks in advance
