Basically all enclosed public rooms are non smoking. This includes the hackcenter, lounge, toilets, showers, kitchen, noc, workshop room and talks room.

You are free to smoke in/at your tent. If the neighbors are annoyed by smoke drifting their way, try to find an arrangement for best smoke flow.

Dogs

Is it ok to bring my dog?

Yes, but we have a few rules about this:
1. DON'T let your dog mark their territory by peeing at tents or anywhere else on the camp ground.
2. Make sure they don't get close to other attendees who might have problems with dogs. Be it by allergy or by phobia.
3. Don't bring your dog if they have problems with people. Be it because they get scared in a crowd or by some odors.
So if you do bring a dog and it causes any trouble then we will ask you to remove it from the camp site.

We ask everybody to bring their own food. There are a few problems we had with providing food in the past:

2. We didn't buy enough of the right food.
