i am so happy that all of you are as into hardware as i am! just a quick note to say i will start putting the workshops into a sort of a schedule later today. there are some workshops that can only be on friday and some that are over two days, so those can’t change days. i will slot the times loosely, but be sure to drop me a note after i post the schedule if there is a conflict for what you wanted to hack on.

for those of you who have the following, i highly recommend you bring them with you:
- a soldering iron
- wire strippers
- helping hands or circuit chip holder
- solder
- small screwdrivers
- other info that is in the individual workshop list for what you might need

there will be wifi (wlan) on site, courtesy of the c-base.

also, i’m looking for a couple of volunteers to help document the workshops with photos and notes and put them up in the hardhack blog. contact me if you want to help out with documentation: fbz att hardhack dott org

some of the workshops and demos for hardhack 2009 are now online, so go sign-up:

http://hardhack.mixxt.org/networks/events/index

more workshops and demos will go up soon!

hardhack has a confirmed location! yes hardware kidz, hardhack will be at the c-base this year. the c-base, everyone’s favorite punk space station, is located at rungestrasse 20 (google map and on open street map). also don’t forget to sign up for hardhack!

you can now sign up for hardhack 2009 on our mixxt page!

to sign up, you’ll need to:

1. start by signing up with mixxt
2. login to http://hardhack.mixxt.org
3. sign up for hardhack on our main event signup page.

individual workshop sign ups will be up later this week! just as a reminder, the general entrance to hardhack is free, you will only pay per workshop to attend. however, due to limited space, we will stop general sign ups if we are too full, so please be sure to get on the list. we can’t wait to solder and mod and firmware fudge with you all here in berlin!

hardhack will be all hands-on workshops and/or demos. the due date for workshop/demo submissions is March 31st. submit your workshop/demo to mail att hardhack dott org with the following info:

• workshop/demo title
• workshop/demo description
• workshop/demo time requirement (please estimate as well as you can)
• your contact info: email, website, cellphone number
• approximate parts cost for participants
• required and suggested materials for participants to bring (examples: laptop, usb/serial adaptor, hackable stuff)
• any questions you may have

this year once workshops are accepted, there will be a sign up list for each workshop to determine which ones make the cut. this should reduce the empty / too-full workshop syndrome and allow for a maximum of hardware hacking!

hardhack is back! all hands on hardware hacking, no powerpoint presentations!

may 28 and 29th, 2009, during the day/evening.

berlin, south friedrichshain, great air ventilation and natural light.

a ton of table space, power strips galore!

moar: soldering/circuit reversing/logic analyzing than evar.
