ZCZC SPREAD THIS TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW! :) The Freaknet and Dyne.org hackers are delighted to invite you to a Poetry Hacklab on-site and on-line event: TROPPO CAFFE' POCO CERVELLO 9 ============================= 2nd, 3rd, 4th (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) October 2009, Palazzolo Acreide, at the misterious center "Lisbeth Salander" in the Palazzolo Acreide countryside http://dyne.org/tcpc Italian version: http://poetry.freaknet.org/static/tcpc9 What is it? =========== It's Poetry! It's Art, IT'S DELIRIUM! IT'S ALL AND NOTHING, YIN AND YANG, GOPHER and ARCHIE! Now at the 9th edition, the "Troppo Caffe' Poco Cervello" (too much coffee, too less brain) it's a cultural and scientific happening that lasts three days where people from all the World (and beyond) are meeting in Palazzolo Acreide and via the Internet to share experiences, research, culture, poetry, art and science with the intention to create new and beautiful things to donate to the community. This edition will have people from all Sicily and also foreign guests committed in advanced programming sessions, dissertations for beginners, scientific experiments, sumptuous lunches, enormous dinners and sleepless nights dedicated to the passion for computer science. Poems will be read, poems will be written, all and nothing will be discussed, weeds will be weeded, new weeds will be planted, debates will be happen, decisions will be taken, all and nothing will be done! Everyone can join, the important thing is to leave the brain at home and bring a lot of coffee! What will be done ================= We will do a lot of BEAUTIFUL and USELESS things: Radio link ---------- It's the first step to the world domination. The installation and the configuration of an amateur radio link WI-FI which will give raise to discussion about wireless technology, its use and some tricks (Netsukuku, OLSR, Fonera, hardware modifications, dd-wrt etc) by Asbesto IW9HGS and other radioamateurs possibly there. The distance that will be covered is 6.9Km :). MuSE ---- A group of programmers from the Freaknet and Poetry Hacklab will establish a on-line connection with dyne.org developers and follow this "code sprint" plan: http://lab.dyne.org/MuSE/SprintOct09 We want to develop a new version of MuSE streamer, a free application to make your own on-line radio and your voice heard all around the world, broadcasting audio files and live microphone all mixed in real time. (http://muse.dyne.org) Join us writing code or help translate the manual! Other activities ---------------- Artistic performances, strolls in the surroundings or anything you want could happen spontaneously; everything will be managed by the same people who could throw off activities, keeping in mind we should not disrupt the ANY the focus on the main activities described above. Everyone is invited! Logistics ========= How nice is to be seated on chairs! Food ---- Breakfast, lunch and dinner are completely self-managed so you're invited to bring food and drinks and share them with everyone! Lodging ------- If anyone needs to sleep... there are two beds which we will assign to the sleep of the weaks, you can sleep in a tent, so if you want to do so bring your own TENT! Hopefully another space will be available. You will need to adapt yourself to it because the objective is not to sleep! :) (obviously special neeeds of resting/lodging will be satified, so don't worry, we won't let you sleep on straw... maybe!) Donations --------- If you want to contribute money, you are very welcome to do so, via Paypal or even via bank wire-transfer. We have a clear plan for it: we hope we will gather some funds spreading this event and collect them to be invested in more software development on MuSE. This software is very important! a lot of people can use it completely for free to do radio, it is the way we can make free speech happen. But we have no money to continue development, which was stopped for more than 3 years now, so please donate some money! and you'll help us all provide concrete results and useful tools to all our communities. The plan is: we will develop a lot during TCPC9, package the application for existing distributions and update it to be stable and to use latest libraries. After the TCPC9 we will see what we've reached and what is still left to do, then we will put out tasks and money offers out of the money collected from your donations, so that more developers can get involved and help us finish the work. This is the first time we try to do this so pleaase don't leave us alone! spare some money NOW and you'll get QUALITY FREE SOFTWARE soon!
