I have ordered the stickers. They will be here in a week or so. Will send pics when they arrive. In the meantime, here's an svg for making hackfest content: https://inkscape.org/en/~C.Rogers/%E2%98%85kiel-kitz-hackfest-sticker
- Cool, thank you, Chris!

That's a really cool three-section drawbridge called Hörnbrücke close to where the hackfest is. It's pretty impressive, and I think we should venture out on a little walk to see it at some point. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNdBtz6-i0k
- I wouldn't call it 'close' (3km from the Kitz), but if any of you are
planning to sleep in the Youth Hostel, then those will be able to cross it (or wait before it) every day :)
It's very central, close to the station, so if we do a city tour, we can go there, too.
I like that the sticker also shows a silhouette of a ship from the place where the historical ships are made fast.
It's not the most commonly noted 'feature' of Kiel, but I've thought a lot and couldn't come up with a good thing to show (see below).
In direct proximity of the Kitz, there's only the university with its (ugly, but very visible from very far away) high office tower, and a triangular church... then we have sea gulls (they build their nests at the Kitz), a museum steam boat (but we've had a ship already on a sticker), a couple of lighthouses (nice, but definitely not visible from where you're going to be), the Marineehrenmal at Laboe (it's huge, and you'll probably see it, but it's also not exactly part of Kiel), and the large cranes of the wharf (those are a typical sight), as well as a couple of churches and a large town hall. And an aquarium with seals.
Except for the Ehrenmal and the ex-HDW wharf, there aren't any real identifying landmarks. So, my compliments to CR for having found something that is even technically interesting :D
I've been wondering if the hackers would be interested in a visit in our computer museum (our neighbor is its manager and might be able to give a guided tour in English). This wouldn't be free, though, but if we can get 10 people, it would be ~ 10,60 € per person. Plus fares, and loss of time for programming. It's in a large old WWII bunker. http://www.fh-kiel.de/index.php?id=computermuseum
Would that be of interest?
From there, we could take a taxi to a Chinese/Mongolian restaurant with a huge sitting area and a large buffet that doesn't only contain Chinese food, for the Hackfest dinner - or we could just join the annual Kitz barbecue, where they will have two food trucks and lots of tech folk.
Hackfest attendees, please let me know your preferences :) If I need to book something, it would be good to be able to do it early.

Like it?
Love it!
Maren might be able to have more of an eye to it's representation, but I think it's great.
