Welcome to the hillhacks wiki!
Hillhacks is an annual gathering in the hills where people from different places, walks of life and lines of thought come together to share, collaborate and learn. You can learn more about hillhacks here.
The organisation of hillhacks runs as a "do-ocracy": anyone can dive in and start contributing. Rather than a group of "organisers", anyone who shows up and helps with the setup is an organiser (or not).
In this spirit, we have set up this wiki to document the organisation and setup of our gathering. A wiki is basically a common repository for documentation that anybody can edit. If you find some information that is missing or outdated, you don't have to wait for someone with the requisite permissions to update the website: just hit the "Edit" button and fix it yourself!

The other half of using a wiki is editing it to update outdated information.
