How-to: hakken.irl

2025-02-04T17:10:12Z

B12f:

This page explains all the steps necessary to organize a hakken event. Most of this guide assumes the event takes place at MiOM, if this is not the case, extra planning for tables, chairs, food, etc. might need to be done.

=== Planning ===

* Decide when to hold hakken. Usually, this will be part of the normal schedule
* Decide where to hold hakken. Usually, this will be [https://miom.space/ MiOM].
* Get in touch with the org/peeps responsible for the space, announce your intentions and ask for permission.
** Announce to the MiOMis
** Announce to the Gewächshaus community
* Block the meeting room in the Gewächshaus calendar for the duration of the event.
* Ask people if they have certain ideas for hakken (e.g. a LEGO-play area), and make sure to reserve space for it.
* Add the hakken.irl date to the pub.solar website

* A few weeks before the start, create a post on mastodon with the @crew account announcing the next hakken!
* Share this post in other community channels like Matrix
* Ask people to bring the following:
** A bit of money for donations
** Snacks
** Their laptop ;)
* If people need places to sleep, ask around the community. Usually @teutat3s, @b12f, and other MiOMis can help you figure out the bettenbörse. There's also a couple of places to sleep @ Gewächshaus / MiOM.

=== Preparations ===

* Make sure the drinks are filled up at the start. Important are the following:
** Mate
** Beer
** Prosecco
** Sugary goodness like lemonade
* Make sure there's a box for donations
* Make sure there's a stickerbox
* Change around the tables so that community spaces are created; move tables together into sets of 3 or 4, with chairs on the outside so people are facing eachother.
* Make sure every table has enough power sockets. A good amount is 1.5 per chair, tho 1 per chair can also work fine
* Remove private stuff & screens from tables, and store them in a non-hakken area.
* Add special party lighting around the room. MiOMis know where the lights are stored. This can also be done later in the night when it's getting dark so you have a better idea of how it looks. A good rule of thumb is that you generally want the room to be dark, but not so much people trip over cables. It's a hackathon, not a rave ;)

=== During the event ===

==== Friday ====

* Make sure someone is at MiOM even during Critical Mass so there's someone watching the space and taking care of people that are arriving.
* In the evening after CM, officially open hakken.irl by writing the ToDo List
* In the evening after CM, make sure someone orders pizza for everyone at a place that allows for vegan options.
* '''If nobody sleeps @ MiOM, make sure all windows are closed & the door is shut when the last person leaves'''

==== Saturday ====

* Saturday afternoon, go shopping for the vegan chili. Most basics should already be available at MiOM, so take inventory before buying everything thrice.
** Canned tomatoes
** Canned chili beans
** Canned corn
** Canned pineapple
** Garlic
** Onions
** Carrots
** As a meat alternative, get either vegan mince or brown mushrooms (or both)
** Dark chocolate (at least 70%)
** Rice
** Spices; paprika powder, cumin powder, extra chili peppers
** Basics: vegetable oil, salt, pepper
* Make sure someone does the cooking, starting on Saturday at around 18:30 so diner is ready at around 20.
* Make sure someone does the kitchen-cleaning after the cooking.
* Make sure the kitchen is clean enough for people unrelated to hakken to use on sunday morning. This usually requires the following:
** Store leftover food in the fridge (usually you can just put the pot of chili in there)
** Empty the dishwasher if it is full of clean plates
** Fill the dishwasher with the next load
** Hand-wash any larger pots and pans
** Wipe the table and kitchen surfaces clean
* '''If nobody sleeps @ MiOM, make sure all windows are closed & the door is shut when the last person leaves'''

==== Sunday ====

* At 16:00, go over the todo-list once more, and close any done items :)
* After 16:20:
** Put all furniture and personal belongings back to where they came from
** Remove all special lights, and store them away properly
** Make sure any special areas (e.g. LEGO-play-area) are restored to their original form
** Remove any leftover bottles
** Go over the kitchen again the same way as on saturday night
** Vacuum clean or sweep the kitchen & offices
* '''Make sure all windows are closed & the door is shut when the last person leaves'''

=== Post-event ===

* Update this How-To
* Update the website, remove the hakken
* Make sure the drinks are paid
* Write a big thanks to everyone on Mastodon, and share it on community channels, you've done great!

B12f:

Welcome to the pub.solar wiki! This page will introduce you to the wiki editing process.

== How to edit the wiki ==

This wiki runs on the same [https://wikimedia.org WikiMedia] software as Wikipedia does, which means the same methods apply in editing articles.

* [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:VisualEditor/User_guide Editing visually with the VisualEditor]
* [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Wikitext Editing using traditional wiki markup]

== Scope of this wiki ==

This wiki will mainly focus on pub.solar services, but may also cover other subjects related to online privacy. Many individuals and organizations have written about privacy, and such useful resources may also be added here. If there is something useful and new that hasn't been written elsewhere, it would be appreciated.

The "pub.solar wiki" (project) namespace will hold meta articles related to editing the wiki.

B12f: Add CoC and Rules

<strong>Welcome to the pub.solar wiki!</strong>

This wiki is meant for collecting information and documentation around the pub.solar services and community. This wiki is open for everyone with a [https://auth.pub.solar pub.solar ID] to edit. If you think information is missing, feel free to add it! We're especially grateful for tutorials and how-tos on moving away from proprietary services to pub.solar.

== Using pub.solar services ==
Start by creating your own [https://auth.pub.solar/realms/pub.solar/login-actions/authenticate?client_id=account-console pub.solar ID], a [[wikipedia:Single_sign-on|single sign-on]] account for pub.solar. Click on the link, then click "Register" at the bottom of the page. After entering a <code>username</code>, <code>password</code> and your <code>email</code> address, you're ready to use the pub.solar services. You will be redirected to auth.pub.solar whenever you try to login to one of the sites mentioned below.

Also, if you're new to our services, check out [[Migrating from a proprietary cloud]] for a basic overview of how to use our services.

== The pub.solar community ==
pub.solar is a self-organized community, and everyone is invited to take part. Please read our [[Code of Conduct]] and [[Community Rules]].

Community members that have administrative access to technical, community, or financial areas is considered part of the crew.

Following the social.coop model, pub.solar is divided up into several areas of work; community, tech, and finance & legal. We are currently a lot smaller than social.coop however, so pub.solarians are not members of just one WG, but rather just part of the crew.

=== Community ===
This concerns itself with organizing community events like hakken.irl, making sure user documentation is up-to-date, moderating community spaces, improving the onboarding process for new pub.solarians, and other people-things.

pub.solarians with moderation rights are:

* @lechimp
* @teutat3s
* @axeman
* @hensoko
* @b12f

=== Technical ===
This is about maintaining the pub.solar infrastructure. The whole infrastructure is captured in one git repository, which can be accessed in our forgejo instance under [https://git.pub.solar/pub-solar/infra pub-solar/infra]. The technical documentation for the infrastructure is also located there.

pub.solarians with administrative (root) access to the infrastructure are:

* @teutat3s
* @axeman
* @hensoko
* @b12f

=== Finance ===
This is about making sure that the finances are in order. This means doing bookkeeping, and handling payments and donations. Financial statements can be found in our forgejo instance under [https://git.pub.solar/pub-solar/finances pub-solar/finances].

pub.solarians with access to the bank account are:

* @teutat3s

=== Legal ===
This concerns itself with making sure the privacy policy is up-to-date and correct, that we're running everything according to our statutes, and anything else that might touch the law. Legal documents can be found in our forgejo instance under [https://git.pub.solar/pub-solar/legal pub-solar/legal].

Community Rules

2025-01-20T16:58:41Z

B12f: Add rules

These rules are written down to be used as a quick reference when creating reports in online spaces. In general, our [[Code of Conduct]] applies in all pub.solar spaces, and is succinctly described in rule 1.

# Be nice to each other
# Do not publish for-profit advertisements
# Do not publish content illegal in Germany, such as holocaust denial or nazi symbolism
# Do not publish content that is hateful towards specific individuals or groups, or intended to cause or incite harm
# NSFW stuff should be marked NSFW, especially pornography of any kind.

Code of Conduct

2025-01-20T16:57:53Z

B12f: Add CoC

tl;dr:<blockquote>Be respectful of other people, respectfully ask people to stop if you are bothered, and if you can't resolve an issue, contact the crew. If you are being a problem, it will be apparent and you'll be asked to leave.</blockquote>Based on previous excellent work by others, this is a living code of conduct. This code of conduct applies to all pub.solar spaces both online and off, including our events, Matrix channels, Mastodon, and wiki.

=== Respect ===
pub.solar is an intentionally positive community that recognizes and celebrates the creativity and collaboration of each community member, and the diversity of people, cultures, and opinions that they bring to pub.solar.

pub.solar spaces are an inclusive environment, based on treating all individuals respectfully, regardless of gender (including transgender status), sexual orientation, age, disability, medical conditions, race and/or ethnicity, caste, nationality, religion (or lack thereof), physical appearance, politics, ideology (real world or tech), or software preferences.

We value respectful behavior above individual opinions.

Respectful behavior includes:

* Be considerate, kind, constructive, and helpful.
* Avoid demeaning, discriminatory, harassing, hateful, gratuitous or off-topic sexual (body part), or physically threatening behavior, speech, text, names, and imagery.
* If you're not sure, ask someone instead of assuming.

=== Resolve Peacefully ===
We believe peer to peer discussions, feedback, corrections can help build a stronger, safer, and more welcoming community.

If you see someone behaving disrespectfully, you are encouraged to respectfully discourage them from such behavior. Expect that others in the community wish to help keep the community respectful and welcome your input in doing so.

If you experience disrespectful behavior and feel in any way unable to respond or resolve it respectfully (for any reason), please immediately bring it to the attention of a crew member. We want to hear from you about anything that you feel is disrespectful, threatening, or just icky in any way. We will listen and work to resolve the matter.

=== Apologize for Mistakes ===
Should you catch yourself behaving disrespectfully, or be confronted as such, own up to your words and actions, and apologize accordingly. No one is perfect, and even well-intentioned people make mistakes. What matters is how you handle them, and avoiding repeating them in the future.

=== Consequences ===
If the crew determine that someone is behaving disrespectfully, the crew may take any action they deem appropriate, up to and including expulsion and exclusion from community spaces.

As a community, we will seek to resolve conflicts peacefully and in a manner that is positive for the community. We can't foresee every situation however, and thus if in the crews judgment the best thing to do is to ask a disrespectful individual to leave, we will do so.

=== Thanks ===
Thank you to every pub.solar community member for helping making pub.solar the respectful and inclusive community that it is.

=== License ===
This Code of Conduct was taken and adapted from [https://indieweb.org/code-of-conduct IndieWeb], and is released to the public domain according to CC0. Many thanks to them for putting this online under a permissive license.

Nextcloud

2024-01-07T12:31:34Z

B12f: /* Sharing files with other people */

This is our cloud platform. Clients exist for multiple platforms, including iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, and Linux. The web interface can be found at [https://cloud.pub.solar/ cloud.pub.solar].

This service works like most others; you install a local client, sign in with your pub.solar ID, and designate a directory on your device to be synced with the server.

=== Logging in to clients ===
When logging in to clients, the server address is <code>[https://cloud.pub.solar/%60 https://cloud.pub.solar/]</code>.

=== Sharing files with other people ===
When sharing files, you have a couple of sharing options:

* create a link and send it to people,
* invite people via email adress,
* or invite via federated Nextcloud identity. Just like with email, a federated Nextcloud identity is in the format <code><username>@<domain></code>. This means that if you want to share a file with another person that is using the pub.solar cloud (or if someone wants to share a nextcloud file or folder with you), you should search for <code><username>@cloud.pub.solar</code>. For example, if you want to share something with the crew account, use <code>crew@cloud.pub.solar</code>.

=== Automatic uploads of photos from mobile devices ===

==== Android ====
This can be achieved with the Nextcloud app. After installing and logging in, go into the app settings -> Auto upload. Here you'll find folders on your device you can automatically upload. This has been tested on Android.

== Contacts & Calendar ==
The web interface for contacts can be found at [https://cloud.pub.solar/apps/contacts cloud.pub.solar/apps/contacts], for the calendar at [https://cloud.pub.solar/apps/calendar cloud.pub.solar/apps/calendar].

=== Synchronizing to devices ===

==== Android ====
In the Nextcloud app, go to app settings -> Sync calendar & contacts. This will install the app DAVx5 for you, and start the login process there. After logging in, select the calendars you'd like to synchronize.

=== Homeserver address for clients ===
When logging in to clients, you'll have to provide your homeserver address. This is <code>matrix.pub.solar</code>, '''not''' <code>chat.pub.solar</code>.

=== Saving your encryption keys ===
The first time you log in, you'll be asked to save your encryption keys. ''Make sure to write these down in a secure location!'' We recommend using a password manager. Matrix messages are end-to-end encrypted, which means that the administrators of pub.solar cannot read their contents. However, if you lose your encryption keys you'll lose access to all previous messages.
