    1. Progress

  2. Introduction Date: November 3-7, 2014

Location:

German Cancer Research Center, Heidelberg, Germany

More details to follow.

Goal: A follow on to the wildly successful previous hackfests!

Requirements: Attendees must be willing to spend their time during the event writing ctk code that contributes to the main ctk roadmap. This means spending the week immersed in C++, Qt, DCMTK, CMake, and related technologies. People who do not feel qualified for this task are politely not invited :)

Group size: Maximum 20 participants so we can have a manageable working meeting. The organizing committee will invite and select participants based on input from TheTeam.

Site Hosts: Marco Nolden, Sascha Zelzer, Ivo Wolf

Organizing Committee: Steve Pieper, Ivo Wolf, Stephen Aylward

Future Events: Future hackfests will be announced in advance, and we hope lots of people will be interested in participating. The venue and activities at future hackfests will be determined based on the number of active participants in the project. We welcome participation via the CTK email lists, the source code repository, and this website.

``There were also other invitations sent to active people on the community, and people who recently showed interest. When their intent will be known they will be added to the list.

  1. Preparation Developers should bring a laptop with the current CTK source code downloaded and built.

Use the CTK developers mailing list to discuss build issues and topics for ongoing work.

Phone conferences have been scheduled in the weeks leading to the event:

  1. Travel Hotel 1. Local contacts
    • Marco Nolden (m.nolden@dkfz-heidelberg.de)
    • Sascha Zelzer (s.zelzer@dkfz-heidelberg.de) Sascha phone
    • Andreas Fetzer (a.fetzer@dkfz-heidelberg.de)
1. Transportation It takes about an hour from Frankfurt Airport (FRA) to Heidelberg Main Station with one change in Mannheim. If you stay in the Old Town you can also look for connections going to "Heidelberg Altstadt". You can look it up at [Deutsche Bahn](http://www.bahn.de/p_en/view/index.shtml), but they run quite frequently.

Local: from the Old Town, “Universit�tsplatz”, runs bus number 32 (geographic map) via Main Station to DKFZ, exit at “Chirurgische Klinik”, bus direction is “Neuenheim”. After you exit, DKFZ is on your right.

During the day the bus runs every 10 minutes in both directions, timetables are also available at VRN.

  1. To Frankfurt Airport The German Railways is affected by a strike from Thursday to Monday morning. Trains will operate on a limited basis - check the website of [Deutsch Bahn](http://www.bahn.de).

You may also use a Shuttle Bus departing from the Crown Plaza in Heidelberg. It is recommended to book online as early as possible.

1. Lodging We recommend to stay in the historic Old Town. There is an easy direct bus ride every 10 minutes from there to DKFZ.

We have reserved a number of rooms at the Holl�nder Hof (map) hotel! Please use “CTK 2014” when you do a reservation there. Of course there are plenty of other hotels in that area, e.g. Goldener Hecht or the oldest house in town, Hotel zum Ritter.

1. Meeting Room The full address for the DKFZ is

Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum Im Neuenheimer Feld 280 69120 Heidelberg

We will meet in the main building on the second floor (European counting!). The cryptic room number is D0.02.032. Follow the description below to find it.

When leaving bus 32, you will see something similar to

DKFZ Bus

The large building on the right is the DKFZ main bulding

DKFZ Hauptgebaeude neu 600x402

Walk through the main entrance and follow the map

Ask the nice guys at the reception or call us in case of any problems.
