HACK-IT 98 Frequently Asked Questions
ver. 2.0 - June, 12th, 1998
Hack-It 98 is over. But we want to leave te FAQ and the programme of the
event to remeber what it was, waiting for a second edition.
Getting Started
Computers and other tools
Logistics
Programme
Getting started
Hack-IT 98 cannot be defined in one way only. It is an open-air
festival, a meeting, a hacking party, a pause for reflection,
an occasion of public learning, an act of rebellion and an exchange
of ideas, experiences, dreams, utopias and love.
What characterises Hack-IT 98 is our wish to live these three
days completely self-organised basing ourselves on our needs.
Hack-IT 98 is a SELF-ORGANISED event: there are neither organisers
nor users, but only participants.
In Italy, in a squat in Florence named C.P.A. (Centro Popolare
Autogestito, Popular Self-Organised Centre), Viale Giannotti
79, Florence. Tel and Fax ++ 39 55 6580151
On Friday 5th, Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th of June, 1998. If
you wish and if you have time, you can join Hack-IT 98 several
days before the starting date, in order to help organise the
event, install the LAN and do whatever might be useful.
How you wish! The C.P.A. offers a large area where you can
pleasantly spend your days and nights during the meeting. There
will be a self-organised camping site, so bring your tent and
everything you might need.
Do you have to pay to participate to Hack-IT 98? Of course
not. Hack-IT 98 is a no-profit event and nobody will make money
out of it. In order to cover expenses we will organise a few
concerts and other social events; to attend these a small fare
will be requested. In the eventuality that the expenses should
be too high, a small subscription fee will be requested to all
participants.
Computers and other tools
The answer is almost certainly yes. Although during Hack-IT
98 people are not meant to work on computers or to navigate
on the net, we believe it is important to be connected at all
times. We will thus activate an
ISDN line connected to the
Internet.
Yes! The LAN will be based on TCP/IP, we'll then build an 'intranet'
during Hack-It 98. It is highly
preferable to use RJ45 connectors
to connect to the LAN, although
there will also be a possibility
to use BNC connectors.
The answer doesn't depend on us. We can guarantee connectivity
and the LAN, but have no idea of how many computers will be
available. Bring your own computer (laptop or not!), your ethernet
adapter, your hubs and so on. The LAN will be in continual progress!
So please read these FAQ as often as you can, as the information
will be continually updated.
Of course! It would be an excellent idea if everyone interested
in using a computer during Hack-IT 98 brings his own. Sheltered
tables and rooms will be available.
If you want to connect your computer to the LAN and to the
net, you will surely need a LAN Adapter. If you don't have one,
you can buy one for about 30$ in any computer shop. If you want
to connect your laptop or your non-IBM computer, you will have
to spend a little more.
Of course! You can bring whatever you want: radios, pagers,
radioscanners, toasters etc. etc. The more you bring with you,
the more Hack-IT 98 will be fun :-)
Logistics
If you want to live the true atmosphere of Hack-IT 98, the
C.P.A. offers a large area where you can place your tent or
sleeping bag. A tent is not necessary but useful, both for your
comfort and your privacy during the event. Unfortunately we
are in a metropolitan area, so do not expect lawns and greenery.
We will have to sleep on the hard cement! An inflatable mattress
will allow you to go back home without a stiff neck! If all
this is just too much, you can book a hotel, but it will cost
you a lot more... A list of hotels will be posted later.
The C.P.A. is known for its good Italian cooking and good-looking
cooks! You can eat well at the C.P.A. without spending a fortune.
Special attention will be given to Vegetarians and Vegans. If
you don't want to eat at the C.P.A., there are many restaurants,
pizzerias, supermarkets and shops of every kind in the neighbourhood.
WCs and showers will be installed for the event.
Florence is - we think - a well-known place. The best way to
reach it is by train, plane, bus or car (but not by boat!).
Detailed information on how to reach the C.P.A. will be given
later.
Programme
The backbone of Hack-IT 98 will be a series of self-organised workshops.
Everybody can propose and carry out his own workshop. All we ask is that
you inform us as soon as you can what your ideas and proposals are. A
reminder: most of Hack-IT 98 will be in Italian…
Two courses will introduce people not too skilled with computers in the
correct environment of Hack-It 98.
Courses in basic network technology
For people with low skills in computer usage. The course will teach how to
use the basic services offered by the most popular networks.
Cryptography and anonimity on the networks
For people with an average knowledge of network technology. The course
wishes to show how to defend your privacy by using several techniques
(cryptography, steganography, PGP, anonymous remailers etc).
You can see a map of CPA.
