== Suggested activities ==
Ideas from ML:
* Wall of Sheep (sniffing & why encrypting your internet communication is not only for hackers) [by Kabel]
* Rogue Access Point
* 'Tracking Thing' (potentially)
* TagBot
* Clutter
* Preparation of rekult stuff
* Bristlebot
* Throwies
* LaserTagging
* Intro to soldering
* Start reprap or makerbot assembly
* Quadrokopter
* Arduinos
* Twittering Power Meeters (Wireless via X-Bee)
* Mich's coffee table
* Surveillance Watch
* some animation / game project with blender?

==Surroundings==
We will sell some food there to get some ca$h
* Barbeque (food hacker)
* Drinks (Mate!)
* Breakfast
* Coffeemachine (mAcfreAk will bring Espresso and normal machine)

* ''We could sell some shirts too ;) ''

: I'm not sure if it would be a good idea / affordable to order one shirt of the most popular designs and have them on display? It would be quite expensive.. so maybe just 2 or 3 types. We don't actually want to sell them, so you could theoretically use yours ;) If people are interested, point them to the webshop or offer to order and have them pick it up when they arrive (advance payment of course)

* We should also include a donation pot for people who want to donate something to our ASBL.
* Do we already have some stuff that could be auctioned off?

==Who?==
Any hacker is welcome to give a hand. '''You do not need to show off''' your project(s) if you don't want to or don't have one right now. Simply be there with us in a relax atmosphere and enjoy a drink or two ;-)

==Hardware needed==
===hacking===
* High performance beamer
* +-100mW (green) Laser

===services===
* Gas-BBQ with gas
* fridge
* bread
* napkins

==Software needed==

==Confirmed presences==
