Programm

Please add your notes and thoughts here!

Venue

Petit-Vivy Castle
2254 Courtepin
Switzerland

Coordinates: 46°51′57″N 7°10′20″E

There is also a lake pretty close by, not very easy accessible, but possible to get into it with a few minutes walk.

Rooms & places

We are not directly at the castle (ppl live there!), but in a house next to it. We can use parts of the castle for particular things / events in addition, also some of the rooms for accommodation, see below. Generally this is just a draft and suspect to change! See also planning notes below.

• outside hackcenter: huge space with a roof, perfect for hacking & making, and maybe also for eating?
• kitchen & living room: might serve for food, but might be too small. Rather for workshops etc?
• roof-space: big room perfectly serves for workshops & talks (might be hot in there in the summer, we'll see)
• Scheune: HUUUUUUUGE hall, not sure if we even need it at all...? Maybe also as sleeping space?
• Castle-Tower: Might serve for a special BBQ-event or alike?
• Castle-Taverne: Might be a good place for music-installation (if acoustics serve that at all?)

Facilities

(see more in Planning notes)

• There are enough chairs and a few tables available on site.
• The house has a normal household-kitchen which is unequipped. There is a Gas-BBQ-Thingy that also can serve for 1 big pot in addition.
• The house has around 4-5 Bathrooms, mostly with shower.

Sleeping possibilities

• Ideally: Bring your tent or at least some mattress & bedding!
• There are around 5 rooms in the house that can serve as sleeping rooms only - we will organize as many proper mattresses as we can!
• There are 3-4 proper "hotel room like" 2-bed rooms in the castle which can be used for ppl with special needs (e.g. families)
• There is plenty of open "attic" space that would serve perfectly as sleeping places (bring your own bedding!)
• There are many more minor options, choose yourself on site!
• Let the Orga know what you'd like to do:
  • A) tent,
  • B) bring your bedding and choose your place,
  • C) you want one of our mattresses in the shared rooms,
  • D) you need a proper bed (very limited)
  • E) you sleep in your own vehicle (and you'd like to have a nice place for that)

Planning notes

(might move to another sub-page in a while....)

Facilities

• kitchen stuff - we need it ALL! Where to get it from?
• bedding - we need mattresses, how many can we get, and where from? Michi can bring... 4?
• furniture - we need more tables, how many can we get, and where from? Some couches would also be just AWESOME!
• Power cables - we need many to get enough power to the people!

Rooms

Todo: discuss and decide the usage of the rooms.

Shuttle to/from train + for groceries

• Who has a car that can be used for such?

Build-up and Tear-Down notes

• we need to carry the above things to / from the place.
• we need to clean some of the spaces beforehand (scheune? hackcenter?) and for sure afterwards again.
• trash... how can we leave "no traces"?

Questions to the owner

• How many mattresses could they provide?
• How is it with the 3 beds in the "Tantenhaus/Taverne", can we count them in, too?
• Can we use the furniture from "Tantenhaus/Taverne"?
