Not so Frequently Asked Questions

Please add your further questions here. We will answer them as soon as possible.

What about food? Do I need to bring cans and cans of "tinned food" or is it enough if I take money with me? Will there be some Food Service that offers cooked meals? If so, what times do they serve?

Please read Concerning Food.

Please note that the Food selling places in the camp site are not running now, they are setting up like all the regular visitors.

Are there plans to use online platforms to enable remote participation as well as to supplement in-chaos camp communications? I'd like to organize sightseeing and geocaching trips, ask around if anybody got a CA-42 cable, offer to sell some old hardware I brought with me.: What kind of online platforms / remote participation do you have in mind?; There is the camp discussion mailing list camp@lists.ccc.de, see Contact. And you can use #cccamp11 for twitter. Also there is already a Facebook event page : "Chaos Communication Camp 2011" (not maintained by the CCC)

I need to buy a tent. Where can I do that?: See Connect for ideas; the Real store had a full palette of 3 person tents as of aug 8 10 am

Will there be Gigabit Ethernet in the Datenklo?: TBD but most probably not, gigabit ports are always very sparse on CCC events. According to the NOC page you should contact one of the coordinators if you really depend on a Gigabit port.

Will there be chip music workshops?: No, not until now, but if you think you can teach a couple of people you can create one at the Workshops page.

Will Angels stay at the same place like 2007?: Yes. The heaven will be in/at the bunker in north-east of the camp site. See Angels for more information.

Is it ok to bring climbing gear and climb in the trees near the camp?: Yes. Last time we even had some tree climbing workshops (Treeclimbing at Camp 2007). Ph1lip would like to see a workshop this year! See Treeclimbing.

Will there be a water uplink available at the beginning of the camp to fill our pool and paddle pond (planschbecken)?: Probably yes. We are in contact with the local fire fighters. But it also depends on when you want to fill your pool. The earlier the better.

Where do I put my tent if I do NOT participate in a Village ? There is no info on the Map concerining any fire prevention corridors, the places of the next dataloo/etherjohn (Datenklo) or any other info whatsoever ? Just simple Markers for the Villages.: Put your tent wherever you like. There is a detailed map with the larger villages in the Campguide. The positions of the Datenklos is not fixed yet.

This is my first Camp, so I don't know anyone. Where can I put up my tent? Do I have to choose a village or is there a "non village camping zone"?

You don't need to be part of a village to come to the Camp. You can put up your tent up where ever you like. But villages are also a good way to find like-minded people - don't hesitate to join a village if you are interested in it's projects and/or inhabitants. They are no closed user-groups. Another good way to get to know more people is by helping as an volunteer.

BUT ! You'll need to keep off the regions reserved for bigger Villages, so simply 'anwhere' is not ok.

How difficult will it be to leave the CCCamp and come back (ie. to get suppies rom downtown)?: Absolutely no problem.

Will we be required to wear such idiotic doggytag wristbands as on the congresses ? I hate them ...

If you want to leave and come back you have to.

Actually at the entrance I was told that there will be NO wristbands at all, only badges this time. See r0ket for badge info's.

Beginning at 12:00 (Noon) on Day 1 controlling wristbands on campsite is enforced. So, yes there are wristbands and yes you'll have to wear them.

opening hours? My group will arrive at wed 3am by car - if all goes well. so can we enter at such a time? Anyway I think it would be also very helpful to know also for the bars. Even when you can only give rough times.: The camp will be opened 24hours a day. There is no access by car during nighthours, from monday evening there will be no access by car at all.

Valuables? Where can I bring my valuables? Should I just leave my stuff unattended in my tent or ask the next good fellow to watch out for me?: Yes, you have to take care of your valuabels yourself.

What about drinking water?

Will there be a hookup for campers?

There is no visible Water infrastructure for campers or anything else..

How will drinking water be distributed?

There are water distribution points all over the camp. There is one on the right side of "Ljon Tichy Alley" directly past the food stands.
