==Saturday==

=== 13:00 - 14:00: Eth0:2018 Summer brainstorm ===
It's tradition to organize an Eth0summer every two years, and this summer would be our next one. We're very exited to start! However, there are many other festivals and our crew has shrunk a bit. Do we still want an Eth0 summer? What makes us different that other festivals? We need your input!

So; would you like to attend Eth0:2018 Summer? Would you like to help out? Suggestions on locations, talks, crew, input on how to make it a better festival? Please join us during this brainstorm!

=== 14:00 - 15:00: Sewing electronics part 1, by Will-Do ===
Working with the Lilypad, LEDs and conductive thread, we've going to sew electronics on an item clothing or a pillow cover. I'll supply the technical bits and can supply pillow covers. However, if you want to sew on a piece of clothing, I'll advise you to bring your own as I don't know everybody's sizes.

In part one we're going to set out our plan, make a technical schematic and I'll explain the basics of sewing. (See Sunday for part two).

You don't need any previous sewing or Lilypad/arduino/electronical knowledge to follow this workshop and during Eth0 you can use my stuff as much as you want. If you want to keep the provided Lilypads and LEDs afterwards, I'm asking 10e for all supplies used. The workshop will be for everybody age 10 and up.

=== 15:00 - 15:30: Bikes That Fit, by Amran ===

Bikes That Fit - a quick talk about how I came up with an automated way of designing and building clunky bike frames because I'm so big no one bothered to make one in my size. This translates into cheaply and quickly making clunky custom bike frames for everyone.

==Sunday==

=== 9:00 - 12:00: Climbing in Mountain Network Heerenveen ===
There's a couple of Eth0people climbing every week, will you join us?
No special equipment or experience necessary, we can make sure you stay safe and teach you the basics. It's useful if you bring a long sportspants and a sportshirt.

=== 13:00 - 14:00: Using mobile phone gyro's + compass to diagnose back and neck problems, by Failbaitr ===
In this talk I will explain how we use a web technology and a VR headset to diagnose health problems in patients with neck and back problems. Our road to a working proof of concept, the issues we encountered and the way forward.

=== 14:00 - 15:00: Sewing electronics part 2, by Will-Do ===
Working with the Lilypad, LEDs and conductive thread, we've going to sew electronics on an item clothing or a pillow cover. I'll supply the technical bits and can supply pillow covers. However, if you want to sew on a piece of clothing, I'll advise you to bring your own as I don't know everybody's sizes.

In part two we're going to combine the sewn schematic with the Lilypad, program the Lilypad and see if stuff works! (See Saturday for part 1).

I'll advise you to also follow the first part of the workshop, but next to that you don't need any previous sewing or Lilypad/arduino/electronical knowledge to follow this workshop and during Eth0 you can use my stuff as much as you want. If you want to keep the provided Lilypads and LEDs afterwards, I'm asking 10e for all supplies used. The workshop will be for everybody age 10 and up.

''Yes! Let's keep doing this. We are ready to organize this again, but we wouldn't be able to do it without you! Would you like to join the organization? Send an email to bestuur[@]eth0.nl including who you are and what your skills are.''

Eth0 is a high-tech geek conference. It aims toward sharing knowledge on technology/IT related fields including security, networks, programming, privacy, new (open) technologies, ethics and hacking. At daylight there are [[Eth0:2018_winter_talks|talks]] on these subjects, but when the sun goes down its definitely time to pick up the slack. There will be enough to do, as we have a bonfire, a fully equipped [[lounge]] (with bar) and an overload of hackerspace activity. Maybe someone brings along lasers and there is room to party. Enough reason to pick up the slack and go to eth0:2018 Winter?

= Basic info =

This year, we're gathering at the same location as last year, with some tweaks to make it better. Sleeping arrangements are made at the Alibi Hostel in Leeuwarden (at the Blokhuispoort), and we'll have three separate area's for Eth0 itself: a lecture room, a workshop room and a lounge room. (Frack will be nearby in case we need more hackers). There will be talks, workshops, '''awesome''' maker machines and the best of all we will meet all our friends and fellow hackers.

The event starts on Friday 6pm, and will be open until the Sunday around 6pm. There is be plenty of hacking and talking time. Obviously as we would love to get all your projects, we have plenty of space available for you to display your projects, on and off-stage.

= Tickets =

We're glad you want to attend Eth0! First come first, you buy an entry ticket (day, or weekend) for every attendee above the age of 3. This ticket grants you entrée to the hackspace area, lounge, talks and provides you with brunch and dinner. If you want to stay overnight in the Alibi Hostel, you complement this ticket with one of our bed/room options (let us know if you need a baby-bed or other special arrangements for small children or yourself).

There's a special price regarding the weekend tickets for young and upcoming hackers (geeks above the age of 3, but below the age of 18) and the all sites are accessible by wheelchair/babycarier/segway.

In Alibi, we have 2-person rooms, 4-person rooms and one large sleeping hall with 17 private sleeping pods

''(there are pictures on the website of the [http://alibihostel.nl/ Alibi hostel] / click [http://www.suksawat.nl/ik-sliep-in-het-splinternieuwe-alibi-hostel/ here] for pics of the pods with people in them (fear not, they're clothed))''.

* There are four 2-people Luxury rooms, with two beds next to each other.
* There are 14 2-people rooms with bunk beds.
* There are two 4-person rooms with bunk beds.

Some notes:

* There's one 2-person luxury room with disability access, let us know when you'd like to use this one.
* The 2-person rooms are bought per two beds, on one name (if you want to share, the other person buys a weekend ticket only).
* The 4-person rooms are bought per person/per bed, be sure to come early (or send your friends) to claim them if you want a specific combination of people in one room (everybody buys a weekend ticket + a 4-bedroom ticket).
* The dormitory has a separate bed for 17 people, and a locker for every bed (buy a weekend ticket + a pod ticket).
* You can also choose to just buy a day/weekend ticket and arrange for a sleeping area yourself off site.

=== Where do I park ===
There's lots of places to park, but not all of them are free. [https://www.prettigparkeren.nl/kaart/#!Leeuwarden/ Here's an overview]. The closest parking garage (that's open all days) is [https://www.parkeergaragesleeuwarden.nl/parkeergarages/de-klanderij de Klanderij]. You can also park on the streets near the building, but keep in mind that lots of the places there are only for a short stay and you still need to pay.

We have some spaces available on the building's site itself. Let us know if you *need* to park close by for some reason.

== Facilities ==
All rooms have heating, are newly restored, and should be plenty cosy for everyone.

If you booked a sleeping place at Eth0, bedlinen will be provided, but bring your own towels (also, we don't have enough toothbrushes for everyone).

Food will be provided*. Please inform us if you have any dietary requirements.

*Dinner on Friday & Saturday and brunch on Saturday & Sunday.

== External Nomz ==
https://www.iens.nl/search-refine/leeuwarden

== External sleeping accommodations ==
Lots of hotels in the area, we can reccomend Post Plaza, Hotel Oranje and Het Anker as closest options. Keep in mind you'll have to book soon, as Leeuwarden is also the Cultural Capital of Europe in 2018 and this will attract loads of visitors from afar.

Eth0:2014 winter talks

2014-03-03T11:31:23Z

Niekie: /* Talks */

'''Click [[Eth0:2014_Winter | here]] for the main Eth0:winter 2014 page'''
= Talks =

== niekie/nikis // Securing Yourself: Cryptography, how it helps, and how it doesn't ==

A talk about how cryptography can help you in your every day life, and more importantly, how it can't.

== Mrngm // Limesco ==

Where are we now (limesco), and what is our path from here.

Limesco is a new mobile phone-netwerk for geeks, IT-specialistS, software-developers and hackers.

== Failbaitr, amx109 // Flatpackers ==

Building software to design and cnc-mill houses out of plywood.

This talk centers around the posibilities of creating open source software as
a team, which by now is a tried and tested technique, and combining that school
of thought with the upcoming tools to macnufacture real-world objects using that
code. Both of these have been known to work together pretty good, but most are
not reaching for the same size of "real world" applications we are dreaming of.

We would like to present our project, and ideas around bulding full-size
buildings using (self build) 3 axis cnc cutters, Sheets of plywood, and code to
automatically generate all the requiered building blocks.

== Douwe Schmidt // Privacy Cafe ==

Discussing tools and solutions for explaining privacy to regular internet users.

== Sander Venema // Privacy by design ==

On how to build or adept tools for web-publishing so they take privacy into consideration by design.

This talk is about the conflict that can arise between getting your
message out there, and trying to maintain your audience's right to
privacy. In the last couple of years, with the dramatic increase in the
use of social media, often one of the most effective ways of spreading
your message to a large group of people has become to foster a community
using existing social networks, like Facebook or Twitter.

The problem with using these services is that, while convenient, they
also snoop on your audience’s private data. These companies make their
money by creating and selling detailed profiles to marketers, so that
they can effectively target their ads. Often these services run their
own ad service as well, as is the case with Facebook and Google. Later
on, this data can come back to hunt you. Let’s say you’ve been searching
on Google for some serious illness or disease. You can imagine what your
health insurance company would do, had it access to this information. Up
the premiums or deny you insurance altogether.

Sander Venema was asked by Annie Machon to redesign her website in early
2012. We took special care in avoiding common traps that can compromise
the security and privacy of the site’s visitors when designing the new
site.

In his talk, Sander will talk about the special considerations that
come with building websites for whistleblowers with high security &
privacy needs, both for the owner/operator, and the visitors of the
site; discuss what the problem points are, and how we worked around
them to create a website that is both pretty, usable and as safe as
possible. He will also talk about domain security and governments
claiming jurisdiction over a domain name, even if the actual server is
not located in their country and the site isn’t aimed specifically at
their citizens. There have been several cases in the past where
websites have been brought offline because of this.

== Steffan Karger // OpenVPN-NL ==
Open source VPN for the Dutch government (and others).

OpenVPN-NL is an OpenVPN variant aimed at use by the Dutch government,
and has been ceritfied for networks with a classification up to the level
'Departmentaal Vertrouwelijk' (something like 'For Official Use Only').

This talk will be about what we did to get it approved, how we contribute
to the community and some of the vulnerabilities we found along the way.

== James Rice // Workshop FiberSplicing ==
James is going to show us how to use a [http://frack.nl/wiki/Glasvezel_lassen Fiber Splicer], tell us about the various fibers we use in IT, and will allow participants to make their own splices with the splicer.

== gmc // FPGA's, vhdl and soft-cores ==

FPGA's can combine logic gates based on a description of a logical circuit written in a HDL. VHDL is one such language. While this may sound abstract, with soft-cores FPGA's become flexible microcontrollers. The internet hosts a number of GPL or BSD licensed IP-cores to make it easy to kickstart developing your own microprocessor. This talk introduces the basic concepts (FPGA's and a cursory view of VHDL) and describes how you can customize an off-the-shelf IP core with custom hardware circuits such as encryption engines, multimedia input and output and specialized I/O.

Among available free cores are the well-known microprocessors 6502, 8088, 6800, ARM, 68000, 8085. This talk will present a very simple microprocessor core: the ZPU. The ZPU is a 32-bit stack-based microprocessor and is a great starting point if you are interested in experimenting with the inner workings of the microprocessor. It comes with a gcc toolchain to compile c into zpu object files.

The talk will also point out freely available tools to get started with VHDL, including simulation and loading a design into an FPGA. One such tool will hopefully be demonstrated, showing a complete trace of all internal signals in the ZPU microprocessor while it is executing a hello world program written in c.

With projects such as opencores, the principles of free software can be applied to hardware as well. Many of the opencores projects are wishbone compliant. Wishbone is a bus specified to promote interoperability between free IP-cores. Wishbone can be used to link I/O-controllers to the microprocessor, but it can also be used as a memory interface. The talk will introduce the wishbone bus and it's various read/write cycles. Wishbone promotes reuse of modules.

= Kids program =
A program for kids where all workshops will be accessible for people from the age of 5 (younger people might need some extra support).
The main language will be Dutch, however, our presenters will be multi-lingual and English won't be a problem.
If you feel like you want to join even if the number on your passport is disputing your kid-status, you're welcome to!

Timetable TBA

== Art is I; science is we ==
