About Us

Milliways at CCCamp 2019

We ask new travellers five questions:

  1. Who are you?
  2. How did you get here?
  3. What can you do for Milliways?
  4. What can Milliways do for you?
  5. What are you good in which is not computers?

What is Milliways?

Milliways is a group of information security specialists, which has appeared at several hacker camps in Europe and North America since 2003. We plan and build large installations and infrastructure, where we feed and host hundreds of hackers, providing a space for discussions and networking.

How did we get here?

A happy little accident, nobody quite remembers, but we're still here.

What can we do for you?

Milliways can offer a space for discussions, networking, and talks. All over a nice beer, hot coffee, or fine whisky.

What can you do for us?

Milliways is volunteer-run and always welcomes another helping hand. We do a lot of things, whether you can cook, build-up, tear-down, clean-up, give a talk...

What are we good at that is not computers?

Travellers of Milliways are experienced in all walks of life, from baking to photography, woodwork, and everything in between.


Now it's your turn, head over to communications to contact us - don't forget your five answers.

Creating a new event

  1. Think of a simple, yet unique name for the event that will be used everywhere, `38c3` works well for congress, `cccamp23` for camp, `emf24`, `why25`, ...
  2. Add Page `Template:<eventname>` (copy template from `Template:cccamp23` or so)
  3. After having copied the template, insert `Property:38c3 arrival` and `Property:38c3 departure` by clicking on the red property in the rendered template and insert [[Has type::Date]], `Property:38c3 PlusX` and `Property:38c3 DECT` get [[Has type::Number]]
  4. Click on the "Category" named after the event at the bottom of the Template page and create it
  5. Update the `Form:Person` page accordingly, replacing the last event with the new one
  6. Update the event page with the information needed, possibly by just copying the queries used on past events, such as CCCamp2023-participants
  7. Inform people that they should edit their wiki page using the "edit with form" option

Saturday Jitsi

Jitsi Saturday is almost here, fellow sufferers! Join us as we navigate small talk, awkward pauses, and the occasional moment of forced positivity. See you there!

Drinkups

None public currently anymore

Projects

WOPR

One and only, coming soon since 2006.

Whiskyleaks

Self organizing, repeating, turned into a legend. Many bottles arrive, none leave. Bring a bottle of your favourite whisky (or other spirits) and share it with other passionate drinkers. If you can’t bring a bottle, come along - bring one next time!

mail2jail

Write letters to fellow hackers currently declaring jail as their primary place of residence.

Challenge coins

Milliways creates challenge coins associated with every event we make an appearance at.

Domes

Done first for the american toorcamp 2009. Today there's several americans domes and a bigger european one in our storage. There's likely a british dome incoming.

Infrastructure

camp constructions infrastructure

tents

Tents - Blue and Green Tent

dome

EMF EDIT;
A new tarp can be ruined after several strong gusts of wind. We need ground ankers and 200m of high tensile rope for each dome to prevent this from happening again + improved plans on setting up the dome and adding a tarp so it's clear for newbies.

2 Domes; 1 in Weeze_Storage, 1 in UK Storage (unclear where - ask EMF people)

Both domes are the same spec. Slightly egg shaped depending on how they're setup.

Radius; 4.75m

Communications - you can contact Milliways using those methods


wishlists for Infrastructure

Milliways has some infrastructure. To keep this infrastructure up and running we need spare parts and every other year a replacement server. We have therefore created 3 wishlists on amazon.

spare parts for the server in vienna

managed by User:Tuxcoder

at this moment no needs, the wishlist is empty

spare parts for the backup server in rotterdam

managed by User:Mc.fly

Wishlist for the Backup server

parts for a new replacement server in Hamburg

managed by no_maam

Wishlist for the Hamburg server

Swag

We do coins and stickers. If you want to make some - look in the milliways Seafile for SVG files.

Camping plates with Milliways logo (and Camp motto/year) Idea: McFly, nina

allbranded.at has a relatively cheap offer and could deliver within 3 weeks!

We could use them for the kitchen and/or "sell" them for a little sponsoring money.
