We need help with buildup and teardown, please register in the Angelsystem to enlist!

We have filled the majority of the program and mailed those who were selected. Unfortunately sifting through the great number of applications is time-consuming and responding to hundreds of applicants is unfeasible. You can check your status in Frab: if your talk still has the status "new" in Frab, it has not been accepted or rejected yet. If it has the status "rejected", we simply haven't managed to inform you about that yet since we cannot send mass mailings to everyone with a "rejected" talk. If there are further questions that haven't been answered in the previous sentences, do mail to content@sha2017.org. Do realise that every question asked that has been answered in the foregoing bits of this text takes away capacity for processing remaining unaccepted proposals.

Submissions can be entered through the SHA2017 content submission system:

https://frab.sha2017.org/

The deadline for proposals was the end of March, 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 lead time, please mention that in your proposal so we can give it a priority for processing.

We love to have some help! You can help in several ways, both before and during SHA2017. 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! You can register now, and help in august. There are several roles with short shifts where you can make this event possible. More information will become available closer to the event.

The ticket shop opened on 2016-12-28 and is at https://tickets.sha2017.org/

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. There is a limited batch of cheaper tickets released. Read more about it here

No, SHA2017 will only have tickets for the entire event.

Please send an email to tickets@sha2017.org and explain your situation. Then we will look at the possibilities and get back to you.

Yes there is. We have blocked rooms in the hotel across the river. This is Postillion hotel at strand Nulder (Amersfoort). You can use the code "sha2017" to reserve one of the blocked rooms (currently only through phone reservation).

Great! Please contact us before planning your extended stay. You can register in the volunteer system

Villages take some more time to build up. Therefore, pre-registered villages can enter the terrain from 2-8-2017.

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.

Mind our neighbors after 1 am. till 8 am. Loud, amplified noises/music etc. are not allowed/appreciated.

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.

Yes, you can come with a boat. One of our projects is the creation of a harbour. Look for more information on safe harbour.

Yes you can swim in the pond that has Griet Titulair island in it, and in the harbour (within the designated swimming area) or at the beach near Engelbart field. The other ponds are not for swimming because of the terrains irrigation system that is in those ponds (tube's and such)

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!

There is a pre-sale of hoodies and t-shirts. There might be a limited amount of apparel for sale on the field, but if you want to guarantee one or two, buy yours in the ticket shop before 31th may!

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.

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).

On any page, add a Q&A in the {{FAQ |q= |a=|team}} format

The best way is mailing Infodesk at this domain (sha2017.org). At SHA, we will have a physical desk and a phone number

During SHA, Infodesk will be the place to leave valuables you have found. If you lost something, you can come to the Infodesk tent and ask.

No, unfortunately not because of safetyreasons. It is, however, allowed to use gas-powered stoves and barbecue grills. Please also bring a fire-extinguisher. There will be a offical sha2017 organized campfire near the beach

Food-safety-regulations (HAACP) don't allow that. However, if it's non-commercially (so donations only) this does not apply.

Just like our previous events, drugs are not allowed

Yes you can swim in the pond that has Griet Titulair island in it, and in the harbor or at the beach near Engelbart field.

The other ponds are not for swimming because of the terrains irrigation system that is in those ponds (tube's and such)

Be careful when swimming out of the harbor or the Engelbart beach: the Nuldernauw is very wide, very deep and very cold. Also there might be currents you are not expecting and boats on the water that won't notice you until they hear 'bonk'.
