== Location: Mahajanga, Madagascar ==<br />
<br />
We'll be gathering on the island of Madagascar. Hacker Central will be by the beach around [https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Mahajanga Mahajanga] (French: Majunga) on the North-West coast.<br />
<br />
== Date: January 2024 ==<br />
<br />
As always, we'll be hanging out around the announced location during the month of January. You can drop by anytime in January and someone else should be there already (at least from a few days after NYE onwards). Some people join only for a week, others for two or even the whole month. Whatever floats your boat.<br />
<br />
== What to Expect ==<br />
<br />
https://kosmos.social/@hackerbeach/101187541935745175:<br />
<br />
* Hacking, not cracking<br />
* FOSS creation and contribution galore (non-programmers welcome)<br />
* Exchange ideas and knowledge, demo your projects, have workshop or hackday sessions<br />
* Also get your day job done if you want/must<br />
* Fantastic weather (i.e. no freezing winter)<br />
* Outdoor activity options like e.g. hiking, kayaking, snorkeling, surfing, and floating down the nearby river<br />
* Explore the wider region, esp. before/after your time at the official location<br />
* Whatever you want to make it. Hacker Beach is just people.<br />
<br />
== Getting There ==<br />
<br />
The easiest way to get to Mahajanga would be to fly into the capital city of Antananarivo (TNR), then taking a domestic flight to Mahajanga (MJN) (only 3 times per week). If you're adventurous, take a bus to Mahajanga, or go around the island first.<br />
<br />
There are a few good travel Wikis which cover more detailed info:<br />
<br />
* https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Mahajanga<br />
* https://wikitravel.org/en/Mahajanga<br />
<br />
Tip: a good way to find out about airlines and direct flights, so you can hack yourself a decent travel route, is always the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivato_International_Airport#Airlines_and_destinations Wikipedia page of the airport] in question.<br />
<br />
== Visa ==<br />
<br />
You will have to apply for a visa on arrival at the airport. There is no visa fee for stays of less than 15 days. However, you will have to pay a 10-euro administrative fee for border control formalities. Prices for the other visas:<br />
<br />
* 30 Days: 35 EUR / 37 USD / 115.000 MGA<br />
* 60 Days : 40 EUR / 45 USD / 135.000 MGA<br />
<br />
== Accommodations ==<br />
<br />
There are plenty of apartments and houses/villas for rent around the beach area. A 5-bedroom house can be rented for as low as 50 EUR/night, so if you share one with enough people you can have your own room for as low as 10 EUR/night, or even less if you're sharing one. Or you can also just get something smaller for yourself.<br />
<br />
You can coordinate sharing on the XMPP channel, if you're not already planning to join with a small group. (There are currently leftover rooms in reserved houses available.)<br />
<br />
== Power sockets ==<br />
<br />
Type [https://www.worldstandards.eu/electricity/plugs-and-sockets/c/ C] and [https://www.worldstandards.eu/electricity/plugs-and-sockets/e/ E] (compatible with [https://www.worldstandards.eu/electricity/plugs-and-sockets/f/ F]), at ~220 V.<br />
<br />
TL;DR: European plugs will fit (except UK).<br />
<br />
== SIM cards ==<br />
<br />
...<br />
<br />
(Topups for all providers are available on Bitrefill.)<br />
<br />
== ATMs ==<br />
<br />
...<br />
<br />
== Invite-only XMPP chat for participants ==<br />
<br />
We have a more private communications channel for people who actually want to drop by in January. It's an XMPP channel at [xmpp:hackerbeach@kosmos.chat?join hackerbeach@kosmos.chat]. Please ask someone to invite you, in case you don't have access yet (e.g. on IRC, or DM us [https://kosmos.social/@hackerbeach on the fediverse]).<br />
<br />
As a mobile chat client, we can recommend [https://conversations.im Conversations for Android], and [https://monal-im.org Monal for iOS].<br />
<br />
== Participants ==<br />
<br />
As an unorganized, informal gathering, there's nothing to register or RSVP for. However, it would be much appreciated if you entered some kind of name (ideally your IRC or XMPP nick, but can also just be anon) in the following list, in case you plan to join us. You can also add a timeframe, so we know who to expect when.<br />

<br />
== Travel information ==<br />
<br />
=== Getting to Sénégal ===<br />
<br />
Fly into the brandnew DSS airport outside of Dakar. The rail link isn't finished yet, so the only option right now is taking a taxi to wherever you want to go from there.<br />
<br />
Cheap flights from/via Europe are available e.g. on TAP Portugal (via Lisbon), or e.g. Air France to Morocco and then other airlines to Dakar. Just check the usual sites like Kayak, Skyscanner, etc. and you should be able to easily find something.<br />
<br />
=== Visa ===<br />
<br />
Visitors from most countries, including all of Europe and the USA need not apply for a Visa as long as your stay is under 90 days. You should have at least the address of your first nights stay ready in case you are asked by the border control, as well as the date of your planned exit.<br />
<br />
=== Currency ===<br />
<br />
Senegal uses XOF - West African Franc, which is about 676 XOF to 1 EUR, or 560 XOF to 1 USD. You can easily withdraw XOF from the ATMs at the airport which are just next to the SIM card stands after you leave customs.<br />
<br />
==== EUR ==== <br />
2,000 XOF = 3 EUR<br />
27,000 XOF = 40 EUR<br />
<br />
==== USD ====<br />
<br />
4,000 XOF = 7 USD<br />
42,000 XOF = 75 USD<br />
<br />
=== Mobile networks ===<br />
<br />
There are 3 booths at the DSS arrivals hall, which sell SIM cards and data packages: Orange, Tigo, and ''(plz fill in, I forgot)''. When we arrived the Orange booth had a crazy queue in front of it, and Tigo was empty, which probably speaks to the value (and that you can get LTE on the former).<br />
<br />
You will need to show a passport for registration.<br />
<br />
==== 4G/LTE ====<br />
<br />
* Orange seems to be the best provider<br />
* a SIM card is called 'puce'<br />
* you need a package called 'Pass Internet' and have the option to choose between volume and time based plans<br />
* They double your first top-up<br />
* [https://www.orange.sn/2/particuliers/1/3/la-4g-dorange-45761.html Orange packages]<br />
<br />
==== 3G ====<br />
<br />
* Tigo sells SIM cards for 1000 CFA (~1.50 EUR) and a 3GB data package for 5000 CFA (~7.60 EUR). Coverage has been OK so far.<br />
* Tigo also doubles the first data package (I got 6GB allowance instead of 3GB)<br />
* You can check your Tigo balance etc. by opening https://moncompte.tigo.sn on your phone</div>Silverbuckethttps://wiki.hackerbeach.org/index.php?title=Hacker_Beach_Episode_VI&diff=197Hacker Beach Episode VI2018-01-04T17:51:19Z<p>Silverbucket: </p>

Fly into the brandnew DSS airport outside of Dakar. The rail link isn't finished yet, so the only option right now is taking a taxi to wherever you want to go from there.<br />
<br />
Cheap flights from/via Europe are available e.g. on TAP Portugal (via Lisbon), or e.g. Air France to Morocco and then other airlines to Dakar. Just check the usual sites like Kayak, Skyscanner, etc. and you should be able to easily find something.<br />
<br />
=== Currency ===<br />
<br />
Senegal uses XOF - West African Franc, which is about 676 XOF to 1 EUR, or 560 XOF to 1 USD. Some easy numbers to remember: <br />
<br />
==== EUR ==== <br />
2,000 XOF = 3 EUR<br />
27,000 XOF = 40 EUR<br />
<br />
==== USD ====<br />
<br />
4,000 XOF = 7 USD<br />
42,000 XOF = 75 USD<br />
<br />
=== Mobile networks ===<br />
<br />
There are 3 booths at the DSS arrivals hall, which sell SIM cards and data packages: Orange, Tigo, and ''(plz fill in, I forgot)''. When we arrived the Orange booth had a crazy queue in front of it, and Tigo was empty, which probably speaks to the value (and that you can get LTE on the former).<br />
<br />
You will need to show a passport for registration.<br />
<br />
==== 4G/LTE ====<br />
<br />
* Orange seems to be the best provider<br />
* a SIM card is called 'puce'<br />
* you need a package called 'Pass Internet' and have the option to choose between volume and time based plans<br />
* They double your first top-up<br />
* [https://www.orange.sn/2/particuliers/1/3/la-4g-dorange-45761.html Orange packages]<br />
<br />
==== 3G ====<br />
<br />
* Tigo sells SIM cards for 1000 CFA (~1.50 EUR) and a 3GB data package for 5000 CFA (~7.60 EUR). Coverage has been OK so far.<br />
* Tigo also doubles the first data package (I got 6GB allowance instead of 3GB)<br />
* You can check your Tigo balance etc. by opening https://moncompte.tigo.sn on your phone</div>Silverbuckethttps://wiki.hackerbeach.org/index.php?title=Hacker_Beach_Pre-Hackout_2016/17&diff=139Hacker Beach Pre-Hackout 2016/172016-12-10T22:19:53Z<p>Silverbucket: </p>
