About this Event
Many Debian folks around the world have vacation on December. It's a good time to host DebCamp in Taiwan for Debian folks to meet up. We have been running DebianTaiwan/MiniDebCamp since 2005. Debian folks will get together at the end of the year to share and exchange their discoveries of the year.
Please join with a relaxed mood and make it a fun retreat for yourself. Families and friends are welcome to join.
After extensive discussion within our Debian community and SLAT, we choose to hold the event at the artist retreat called "Hai-Huo / 海或" by the ocean side on Highway 11 alongside the east coast of Hualian. This place is operated and renovated by a group of culture creatives, from carpenter, mason, fabric maker, welder, fisherman, photographers, leather worker, chef and musicians to co-create a space for creativity and sharing to blossom. Could the open source community identify elements from such living organism to further foster innovation and creativity among us? Could open source culture be a common thread to form the base of memes for doing good? Join us to investigate for yourself!
National Dong Hwa University is located in Shoufeng, a quaint township about fifteen kilometers south of Hualien City about thirty-five kilometers south of the world-renowned Taroko Gorge National Park. In all, the University campus and surrounding grounds total to more than 251 hectares (650 acres). Nestled between the Coastal Mountain Range and the Central Mountain Range in the verdant and pristine Papaya Creek Delta, the University is situated in a spectacularly beautiful natural environment.
The air is pure and clean, and the campus possesses a tranquil and peaceful quality.
There are many artists living in the surrounding area of the event site. We wish to have music and fun together with the local artists.
