Description

A hackfest! We will work on Inkscape bugs, new features, packaging, website issues, ... in fact anything that can benefit from us being physically in the same space. And let's not forget about the social component - we get to hang and talk and laugh in person since we usually only meet virtually :).

Bensberg

Bensberg is part of Bergisch Gladbach, a city in the western part of Germany, about 15 km east of Cologne. It is beautifully located in the countryside, surrounded by lush forests slightly elevated to give a great view depending on weather conditions. The nearest airport is Cologne Bonn (CGN) which is an international airport.

Venue

Our host is the Generali Akademie, the dedicated education and conference center of the Generali Group in Germany (it's an insurance company), which is open to bookings outside the Generali as well. The location's special appeal is its all-inclusive package: conference rooms, hotel rooms and full catering service are conveniently provided on-site.
