Introduction

Date: May 20-24, 2013

Location: Kingston, Ontario, Canada. In a classroom at Queens University.

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: Gabor Fichtinger, Csaba Pinter, Andras Lasso

Organizing Committee: Ivo Wolf, Stephen Aylward, Steve Pieper

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.

Travel & Hotel

Local contact

Need any help in organizing your visit, contact Andras Lasso (lasso@cs.queensu.ca). If you have any troubles during your visit, call TBD.

Airport

  • Option A: Fly into Kingston via Toronto
  • Option B: Fly into Toronto, take a bus to Kingston
    • Recommended: Coach Canada direct bus from Toronto Airport to Kingston, leaves twice a day: 2.30pm and 7pm. You can buy the ticket from a Kiosk at the airport or buy online
    • Megabus from Toronto downtown: get to the Toronto Coach Terminal, take a bus to Kingston, leaves in about every hour. Online reservation is strongly recommended, as early as possible, because the prices are continuously increasing (starts from $1 and increased to about $40).

Transportation on Site

Take a cab at the Kingston airport or bus terminal to your hotel. After that everything is in walking distance.

Lodging

Be aware there is a Queen's event during the week of the hackfest so try to book your hotel early
