it basically means: "don't upload slop. if you're in doubt whether it's allowed or not, reach out and show us your technique."
That's a very common sense approach. Still, since we're talking about rules, it may not hurt to clarify it. If for nothing else, to prevent people from asking the same question.
Looking forward to see you all. I come along with my dog and hope that it will not be too hot so he will also have the chance to stay a while inside my silent car. Else I will find another solution for sure.
@ghandy: According to weather forecast it will be definitely too hot for a dog in a car.
Free Hot Dogs?
Yeah, if that's the case I will come at the late afternoon and can't stay that long. We'll see. It's how it is after my divorce.

Bass music is serious business! We know that, you know that and most importantly: Your music compo orga and Evoke veteran dipswitch knows that. Expect nothing but the finest and filthiest grime, UK garage and niche/bassline house bangers being dropped after the last compo block. We recommend bringing your own gunfingers!
Small inquiry to the Köln residents and/or orgas:
How's the situation with the seemingly eternal construction site next to the Abenteuerhalle?
Asking because of the arrival/parking thing.
Hoping that parking the car will be a dull and eventless procedure of utter boring routine without any U-turns and Kalk-neighborhood maze crawls ;)

d0DgE: Construction is done now, park away! :)
As a proud french owner of an UmweltPlakette, I can't wait to park my fossil fuel vehicle at Abenteuerhalle <3
I have to take my dog (5kg, italian greyhound) with me to evoke. Is it allowed? I would carry her in her bag.
Not sure if a demo party with hundreds of people, constant loud noise (jingle, concerts, compos) is the best place for a dog...

Depends on the dog. I'm speaking from experience.

Thank you for your concern. But I still like to know if it is allowed or not.
it is allowed.
PSA: In case you haven't noticed yet: It will be very warm. Stay safe and please take care of yourself and others - use sunscreen, drink a lot of water and do shady business!
We will provide some sunscreen at the infodesk, but don't forget to bring your own.
(And pray for our beam team - it's going to be real hot up there.)

And another PSA:

Don't panic though: You can buy tickets at the door at anytime - by card or in cash.

Check out our SEMINAR LINE-UP!
🪴 Together we grow! Don't miss the opportunity to learn from your peers, ask questions and discuss our past, present and the future. Here is a peek into what's coming:
▫️ Fractures and Resilience: Digital Subcultures in Times of Crisis
After last year's Inclusion Panel, we are happy to welcome back the Grassroots of Digital Europe (GRADE) research collective for another open deep-dive discussion. This time, the focus is on how digital subcultures have endured and adapted in times of war and crisis — with special attention to the ongoing war against Ukraine.
▫️ Art of Coding: Lightning Talks & UNESCO Update
Three rapid-fire talks dive into the art, practice, and preservation of our digital culture. Learn how to run a solar-powered archive from your living room, why preserving the demoscene’s legacy is a challenge worth tackling, and get the latest updates on the UNESCO front.
▫️ Demo Development for the Commodore PET
It's not easy being green! Join Bodo as he gently guides you through the architectory intricacies of his favorite pet🐕🦺 , including a deep-dive into brand new breakthrough graphics modes and insights on open-source tools made for demo development

Good news from the build-up: the seminar room has a nice AC! One more reason to feed your brain with our program :)
It was a nice party! Great to meet y'all again, see you somewhere, sometime later. Thank you, org team!
Indeed a nice and relaxing event. All was fine and most important to be able to meet the "family"
Loved the party. Thanks to the orgas for yet another great edition of Evoke.
Had a great time meeting our old heroes and young masters! ^^
It was a blast! Thanks to everyone involved. <3
