Where
Sa domu, via Lamarmora 126, Cagliari, Italia
When
from Friday 30 May to Sunday 1 June 2025
Sleeping
Inside the place there will be an indoor space to sleep with sleeping bags and sleeping mats.
There is also an outdoor space to put tents but without pickets (it’s a basketball field in cement).
Near the place (10 minutes by foot) there’s a small parking area for 10-12 small vans or campers. It’s not supervised but usually it’s safe with regards to theft or similar.
Circa 6 kilometers from the place there’s a free camper parking space on lungomare Poetto; it’s not supervised and we don’t know how safe it is with regards to theft or similar. There’s a city bus from/to there.
Circa 7 kilometers from the place a comrade makes his own field in the countryside available, it’s possible to stay there in van, camper or tent. In case you go there, we ask you to pay attention with your pets, since there are many animals like birds, donkeys, dogs and cats.
If other comrades will make their own fields available, we will let you know.

Who is organizing?
Hackmeeting is a yearly meeting of a community that communicates through a mailing list. There is no distinction between organizers and users. Everyone can subscribe and partecipate in the organization by visiting the site it.hackmeeting.org and entering the community.
What is an hacker?
Hackers are curious people, always eager to discover how things are done. Whether it is technology or not, hackers reclaim freedom to experiment, disassemble and reassemble things or concepts, to understand how are they made, to improve them, and then to share how to do it again. Hackers solve problems and build things, believing in freedom and sharing. They do not like closed systems. Hackers’ forma mentis is not restricted to the field of software hacking: there are people that keep the hacker mentality in every existing field, driven by their creative impulse.
Who holds the talks?
Whoever wants to. If someone wants to propose a talk, they just has to propose it on the mailing list. If the proposal is well received, it gets on calendar. If there are some problems, the community will be happy to help improve the proposal.
What’s in there, besides talks?
There is a LAN space, as to say an area dedicated to the net: everyone can plug their laptop, forming a network with the other participants. In general, this is the right place to meet other attendees, to ask for help in installing Linux, to solve a doubt, or just to have a chat. Hackmeeting is an open-air festival, a meeting, an hacking party, a moment of consideration, an occasion to learn something together, an act of rebellion, an exhange of ideas, experiences, dreams, utopias.
How much does it cost?
Traditionally, entrance in Hackmeeting is totally free: always keep in
mind that organizing the event has a cost. Expenses are sustained
through voluntary contributions, selling shirts and other gadgets and
sometimes through the earnings of the bar.
Please donate whatever you can, every small donation counts.
What shall I bring?
If you want to bring a computer, take a power strip too. Do not forget networking hardware (like Ethernet cables, switches, WiFi access points). Remember to bring the hardware that you will want to hack in company. We will try to get some internet connection for everybody to share, but we can’t really guarantee anything. If you think that you need it, bring a 3G/4G stick with you and the necessary to share it with friends! Try to be as independent as possible regarding your hardware.
May I take photos, make videos, post, tag, share, upload?
We think that the freedom to choose the dimensions of one’s own private
sphere and public profile must be guaranteed to every participant: in
this spirit, photos and/or videos are admitted only if explicitly
authorized by every person that appears in the media. Nobody should be
photographed without knowing.
Many people at Hackmeeting really care about their privacy, please ask
before taking a picture.
How are people expected to behave?
Hackmeeting is a self-managed space, a temporary independent space and whoever passes through is expected to behave according to the principles of antisexism, antiracism and antifascism. If you are victim or witness of an act of oppression, aggression, brute force, port scan, ping flood and other non-consensual DOS and you do not know how to react, always count on the community’s support and do not hesitate to attract attention and ask for help.
