SHA2017

Whether you want to build a sand castle in the sand pit, or a large bridge with Bamboestiek, we've got you covered! Like the rest of SHA2017, you can put your parents to work organising awesome  activitiesfor you and other children. 

Two weeks ago we posted that 650 tickets were left when deciding the scale of SHA2017
Today we've reached the maximum amount of tickets: SHA2017 is sold out!

The sales have been going much faster than everyone expected two weeks ago. Given the speed of the ticket sale, it is clear that there a large interest of people that still want to join.

The SHA terrain is an awesome field. But it is a bit boring with only grass and water. That is why we want to improve it with decoration, and we need YOU to help us!

If you're planning to come to SHA2017, you may have looked at the list of fields. It's a pretty long list, so maybe your first thought was something like 'Wow, much name, such list, very fields'. And if it was, you're not wrong: it's a long list because we have many fields. And we gave them all a name because it's more fun and easier to remember than a number or a letter code.

Hello! This is your NOC team speaking. We’ve been quite busy planning topologies and IP numbering plans, arranging equipment and connectivity and all sorts of other stuff, all in order to make SHA2017 the one place where you won’t be missing your trusted home internet connection. Now that the event is getting closer and we’re in the final stages of our preparations, let us give you an exclusive glimpse into what kind of cat picture delivery infrastructure you can expect at SHA2017.

The workshop we are announcing today comes from Human Rights Foundation in New York. Their North Korea project, Flashdrives for Freedom, has helped many over the years. You are invited to contribute your skills and ideas, about coding, encryption, data transmission, and more.

For decades, the North Korean government has used violence to impose a monopoly on information within the country.

The story of the best SHA2017 poster is in here! Look for it  after the break 

tl;dr Please put more information on your village in the wiki so we can plan better! And we will have to place a binding order for all rented tents. All tents ordered via the ticketshop have to be paid by June 29th.

When we began organizing SHA2017, we had no idea which scale to aim for. Because we found Scouting Landgoed Zeewolde, which will be the venue of the event, we were able to delay that decision.

The time has come for us to send final orders to our suppliers. The number of tickets determines the amount of reservations that needs to be made for all the basic facilities on the field, like toilets & showers, food suppliers, power, and terrain usage (and, of course, the number of badges).

Extrapolating what we have so far, we have determined the scale of SHA2017 at 3300 hackers. At the time of writing, there are approximately 650 tickets left.

From networking to activism, from makers to scientists and hackers in many disciplines, the SHA2017 program is taking its final awesome shape! From behind piles of sticky notes, after a lot of tough decisions and many, many hours discussing, researching and emailing, we are very proud to announce the SHA2017 conference schedule!  https://program.sha2017.org
