Revision as of 19:01, 23 April 2017
Visitors and volunteers have asked several questions about the SHA2017. Since we're still a year away from the event, not all details are known yet. Some details depend on the contract with the location, which is in its final stages. Also some depend on the permit, which depends on official procedures that won't be completed until the beginning of 2017. This page can provide (partial) answers and have a single source of truth for early information (that will be added to the website later). Do you want to help with the FAQ? Check out: FAQ/crowdsourced.
Do you have a question that is not answered on this page? Feel free to mail us at infodesk@sha2017.org
Questions regarding tickets are answered in the Tickets FAQ: here.
The Booklet is a work in progress.

Can I give a talk, workshop or something else cool?
Submissions can be entered through the SHA2017 content submission system:
The deadline for proposals is February 1st, 2017. But if you are Edward Snowden’s Chinese brother and come out in April we will see what we can do. Also, if you are from outside the European Union, you may have visa requirements with a substantial leadtime, please mention that in your proposal so we can give it priority for processing it.
Can I help?
We love to have some help! You can help in several ways. Leading up to the event, you can help with the Orga. This will give you unique possibilities to learn stuff and expand your skill set, while you have fun with other people and be involved with the event. See team's for available positions.
If you want to help out during the event, that will be great too! There are several roles with short shifts where you can make this event possible. More information will become available closer to the event.
When are tickets becoming available?
The ticket shop opened on 2016-12-28 and is at https://tickets.sha2017.org/
What is the pricing of the tickets?
A standard ticket costs € 250; discounts are available for young hackers (under 6: free, under 12: € 50, under 18: € 100). Business tickets that include a VAT invoice made out to a company are available at higher rates, as are supporter tickets.
Are there single day tickets available?
No, SHA2017 will only have tickets for the entire event.
I want to come, but I can’t afford a ticket at that price!
Please send an email to tickets@sha2017.org and explain your situation. Then we will look at the possibilities and get back to you.
I want to help during build-up or teardown!
Great! Please contact us before planning your extended stay.
What about building up of a village?
GVillages take some more time to build up. Therefore, pre-registered villages can enter the terain from 2-8-2017.
How is SHA2017 funded? Can my company sponsor part of the event?
The ticket sales will give us financial breathing space. If you like to sponsor us financially, then please buy a ticket for the event. If you like to sponsor one of our teams with goods, equipment and/or donations then please do contact us for more information.
What about noise, music etc.?
Mind our neighbors after 1 am. till 8 am. loud, amplified noises/music etc. are not allowed/appreciated.
What is the picture policy of SHA2017?
The excellent thing to do is ask before you take a picture. Not everyone wants to have his or her photo taken, and especially not find themselves on the internet. Crowd shots are fine.
However, some areas and villages will be picture-free zones. Be aware that other villages are free for awesome projects, and that these projects could contain cameras or webcams.
SHA is located next to water. Can I come with a boat?
Yes, you can come with a boat. One of our projects is the creation of a harbour. Look for more information on safe harbour.
How is waste-disposal arranged?
Regular event waste (trashbags) can be disposed of in one of the many bins around the fields.
For larger items (not household trash): Please take home everything you bring to SHA2017. Bear in mind that everything you leave behind will cost us valuable volunteer-time and money we could be spending on more fun stuff!
Will there be merchandise?
For now, we are looking into the possibility to have merchandise. Please come back later for more information.
How can I volunteer?
Join one of the teams/projects! We'll add more information about the practical part soon; for now, take a look at the team's page on this wiki.
What happened to GHP, HEU, HIP, HAL, WTH, HAR, OHM?
Starting with the Galactic Hacker Party, every four year the Dutch hackerscene organises a new event with a new name. The previous one was Observe Hack Make (OHM, 2013).
The given value "On any page, add a Q&A in the {{FAQ |q= |a=|team}} format" contains strip markers and therefore it cannot be parsed sufficiently.
How do I get my question in the FAQ?
On any page, add a Q&A in the {{FAQ |q= |a=|team}} format
How can I contact Infodesk?
The best way is mailing Infodesk at this domain (sha2017.org). At SHA, we will have a physical desk and a phone number
Where is the lost and found?
During SHA, Infodesk will be the place to leave valuables you have found. If you lost something, you'll have to come to Infodesk and ask.
Are open fires allowed (bonfire, barbecue, ...)?
No, unfortunately not (safety). Its however allowed to use gas powered stoves and barbecue grills. Please also bring a fire-extinguisher.
Can I sell foods or drinks?
Food-safety-regulations (HAACP) don't allow that. However, if it's non-commercially (donations only) this does not apply.
Drugs are allowed?
Just like our previous events, dugs are not allowed.
How do I add an entry to the FAQ?
By choosing the right page, and adding something with the code from Template:FAQ.
I added a page (/FAQ/team member..) on this wiki but it doesn't show up in the list
This is a semantic wiki, meaning you can add objects that show up in queries; for instance, FAQ entries show up in the FAQ page. If you don't see them where you expect them, you could try refreshing the page server-side. That means, don't refresh your browser, but hit More -> Refresh.
