Current status: Call for locations

As every year, we're in the process of finding and deciding upon a location for January 2017. This year, for the first time, we also have this dedicated wiki for collecting data and notes.

Locations are discussed on IRC from time to time, and whoever books the first flight makes it official. (Given that at least a few other people agreed on it, of course.)

Everyone (yes, that includes you) is invited to propose locations throughout the year, and until the very end. There's no voting process or deadline! Hence, it's not possible to predict when the location becomes official, but it's usually sometime between the middle of October and the end of November.

PSA: Plan to attend Hacker Beach in January!

We've told the same story about 100 times, so perhaps writing it down helps to prevent some people from repeating this mistake. Just because the location is not known until very late in the year, that doesn't mean Hacker Beach is uncertain to happen. Hacker Beach will happen, and it will happen in January, all January, the same as the last 4 years! In fact, we have a 5-year anniversary coming up, so how could anyone miss that? ;)

So, put it in your calendar, tell your friends and family, take time off your job (if you can't work remotely), find a place for your pets, et cetera. If you really want to join us, you can! Just don't wait with the planning until there's a location. If you need time to plan ahead, there's nothing stopping you from starting planning right now.
