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 characterizes Hack-IT 98 is our wish to live these three
days in a completely self-organized way basing ourselves on our
needs. Hack-IT 98 is a SELF-ORGANIZED event: there are neither
organisers nor users, but only participants.
In Florence, Italy, in a squat named C.P.A. (Centro Popolare Autogestito, Popular Self-Organized 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 organizing the event, installing the LAN and doing 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-organized 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 non for 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 them a small donation will be requested. In the eventuality that the expenses should be too high, a small subscription fee will be requested to all participants.
A deposit service for equipment's of foreign people will be assured. Please, check infos at the organization office (the "Segreteria").
Yes. An ISDN line is activated and a provider offers the connectivity. 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.
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.
It 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 :-)
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 concrete! 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... You may find a lot of hotels in Florence.
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!). Please, check the map of Florence
where CPA is located. You can reach the CPA:
(1) By Train:
At the Santa Maria Novella Station take one of the following
buses: 23, 31 or 32. Ask the driver to let you down at the second
bus stop of Viale Giannotti. The CPA is in front of the IP gas
station
(2) By Car:
On the highway, take the "Firenze Sud" exit. Follow
indications for "Viale Europa". Go straight on for
Viale Europa until the name changes in "Viale
Giannotti". You will find the CPA at number 79.
(3) By Plane:
From the airport, take the bus to the train Station of Santa
Maria Novella. Then, follow the indications of point (1).
During Hack-It 98 an organization office will work.
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).
