## Glamp 2021 has been CANCELLED

Due to the rising number of Coronavirus infections, travel
restrictions and travel uncertainties,
we have decided to CANCEL the GLAMP2021.


## Tl;DR

Get your tent, connect it to power and 10Gbit/s Internet in the midst
of the Glarner mountains. Happenening Thursday 2021-08-19 to Sunday 2021-08-22.
Apply for participation by mail (information at the bottom of the page).

## Introduction

It has been some time since our
[last Hack4Glarus](https://hack4glarus.ch) and we have been missing
all our friends, hackers and participants. At ungleich we have been
watching the development of the Coronavirus world wide and as you
might know, we have decided against a Hack4Glarus for this summer, as
the Hack4Glarus has been an indoor event so far.

## No Hack4Glarus = GLAMP

However, we want to try a different format that ensures proper
safety. Instead of an indoor Hack4Glarus in Linthal, we introduce
the Glarus Camp (or GLAMP in short) to you. An outdoor event with
sufficient space for distancing. As a camping site we can use the
surrounding of the Hacking Villa, supported by the Hacking Villa
facilities.

Compared to the Hack4Glarus, the GLAMP will focus more on
*relaxation*, *hangout* than being a hackathon. We think times are
hard enough to give everyone a break.

## The setting

Many of you know the [Hacking Villa](/u/projects/hacking-villa/) in
Diesbach already. Located just next to the pretty waterfall and the amazing
Legler Areal. The villa is connected with 10 Gbit/s to the
[Data Center Light](/u/projects/data-center-light/) and offers a lot
of fun things to do.

## Coronavirus measures beforehand

To ensure safety for everyone, we ask everyone attending to provide a
reasonable proof of not spreading the corona virus with one of the
following proofs:

* You have been vaccinated
* You had the corona virus and you are symptom free for at least 14
  days
* You have been tested with a PCR test (7 days old at maximum) and the
  result was negative

All participants will be required to take an short antigen test on
site.

**Please do not attend if you feel sick for the safety of everyone else.**

## Coronavirus measures on site

To keep the space safe on site as well, we ask you to follow these
rules:

* Sleep in your own tent
* Wear masks inside the Hacking Villa
  * Especially if you are preparing food shared with others
* Keep distance and respect others safety wishes
