360° photos

mc.fly took some 360 degree photos.
Due to filesize limits, they currently can't be viewed on the wiki, however they can be viewed on our Seafile here.
It would be great if we can view them natively on the wiki in a panoviewer extension or something.

field day preparation / Questions

Early guestimation on Milliways travellers for WHY will be ~200

Finance \ Content \ Volunteer \ Moebelhaus \ Power

As already known; We are very interested in running our own stage like at CCCamp23 but under a 'Cyber Circus' theme.
We have read the minutes of the WHY x Liquicity orga meeting here and were delighted to see a very brief mention of mcfly's idea linked to Liquicity's Mirror Palace (or spiegeltent) and we would love to explore this idea further.

  • May we run/organize a stage?
    • does WHY orga take care of the tent (Financials\Teardown\Rental etc)?
      • can/must we take anything into consideration?
      • If shared financials, we'll need to discuss numbers \ sponsorship ASAP.
    • May we assemble our own content and stage teams for which we already have an experienced group of people?
    • May we hook into WHY's volunteering system as normal?
      • This to ensure gaps, if any, are covered, and to offer
    • Power requirements and timelines
      • TBD
    • Furniture requirements and timelines

Terrain \ Village \ Moebelhaus \ Volunteer \ Power

  • May we have dedicated water access for the Milliways village or minimum IBC service for our kitchen?
  • Stage Dependancy for location: At CCC and EMF, the Milliways Village is usually elongated, catering to travellers who intentionally camp closer to the party as well as offering a "quiet" (in so far as you can call it quiet) side of the village.
    • Can we organise the Milliways Village in proximity to the stage but with the option for a quiet "end"?
  • are we allowed to run a makerboat race on the Canal? :-)
  • May we hook into WHY's volunteering system for our kitchen?
  • We are interested in running our own infodesk, any concerns?
  • Like at other events, we assume small, pre-registered group(s) can be on-site for Days -1 + 0 and Days 6 + 7 - is this correct?
    • While we doubt later is necessary (teardown typically faster than buildup) if earlier is possible, we'd like to know (dome + deco)
  • Power requirements and timelines
    • TBD
  • Furniture requirements and timelines
  • Kitchen: Water plan

Huisstijl

  • What is your timeline for publication of Styleguide \ Brandbook?
    • Challenge Coin
    • Deco \ Art
