CHT 6-A

  Nov 20 - Dec 20 2018

CHT 6-B

  ~Jan 12 - Feb 20 2019

The CHT (HACK)BASE is ...
    An open-to-everyone nomadic camp in Lanzarote, Canary Islands, focused on creating new & deploying existing free technology, tactics and art. By rethinking and disentangling the dependencies on the primary society, the goal is to create a functional technical and organisational recipe, an infrastructural blueprint for replicable spaces that not only provide subsistence freedom to the participants, but enables them to labour towards a general systemic transformation of natures and cultures. Everyone - not just "technical hackers" - is welcome, and can contribute in many different ways - as a practitioner, curator, researcher, organiser, etc.

*** STATUS REPORT

* Previous camp, 🔗season5-B, was in December 2017.

* There will be new gear :)

* The project's van, 🔗trucko, is "stored" next to a friend's house (Mancha Blanca village).
It contains all of the project's 🔗stuff. It's not road-ready (brakes don't work + no ITV = technical certification). The van needs to be moved (there since November 2017), because cops don't like that it's there.
But that's OK - we want to fix it anyway and put it on the road.
See 🔗trucko-new for lots of details on current work.

* Go to @MB1 base - the van is nearby:

MB1 is in Mancha Blanca village.

    * get picked up form the airport or hitch

    * get ready to stay here for a few days, set up a lab

    * check van state:
        (hope it's not robbed or something)

    * get things from van (~5min by bike from MB1):
        DEPENDS ON HOW LONG WE ARE STAYING, WHAT WE PLAN TO DO !
        _______________________
        in every case:
            * extra laptop
            * [...]
        if camping:
            * basic camping subset
            * [...]
        if staying longer:
            * projector, sound
            * [...]




* Tow van to the workshop:

Will cost ~50€.

Do before taking it:
    * Paint it with white spray paint:
        (so it doesn't look like total shit for the workshop)
    * Remove cargo (if we need to???):
        >david ask them
    * [...]

The van can stay at the workshop while it's getting fixed (we checked).
They can also keep the van there for some time (2 or 3 weeks no problem) while additional needed parts are shipped.

See 🔗trucko-new for very detailed work plans about this.

#contingency: "I don't want this van here, take it out of the workshops"



(Van workshop resolution)

The van is there:
    * make a general check
    * how long will it take to fix it ?
    * are any other parts needed?:
        order them directly to the island!


(BARRIER OF UNCERTAINTY)





  A) Van gets fixed quickly

See 🔗trucko and 🔗trucko-new if you want to know (too much) details.

So it turns we will be able to fix it in the shop, in 3-7 days, and register it.
NO PROBLEM, will be easy if it's movable.

Main tasks:
    * mostly, fixing both brake systems
    * registration + technical certification (ITV)
    * insuring it >pau:
        A) Insurance is cleared before arriving on the island.
        B) It's not, and requires direct contacts (like, signing stuff) with local administrations:
            * where?
            * how long it takes?
            * is there someone to support language barrier on site?
            >pau
    * [...]



  B) Van fixing gets complicated

(Fail conditions):
    * Something goes terribly wrong in the workshop (they can't / won't fix it)
    * we can't register the car (bureaucracy problems)
    * it does not pass ITV and couldn't be fixed
    * it's way too expensive to be fixed (1000€ is "still okay").
    * [...]

Scenarios for van:
      B1) find a new location for storing it, and fix it at some other time
      B2) consider selling / trashing it & need new storage place for stuff
          * offer to buy for 1000€ (for a "hotel")
          * "Africans working on the market would buy it for 2000€ immediately"




* Different base options!

Focus on achieving projects.
People might be coming and going based on their priorities.


  A) Type 1 (share space in a house, @ MB1):

(See https://totalism.org/hackbase-type1 for details.)

    How to not get bored there?:
        * besides drinking and grilling :)
        * sometimes, some fun and cool people come!
    Ask:
        * Can we make an auxiliary / "test" camp just outside, with all our stuff? (That would be great)
        * Who would we need to ask? (>blaz >bea ? >authorities?) ........ >david


  B) Type 2 (backpack OR bike-carried camp in the wild):

(See https://totalism.org/hackbase-type2 for details.)

What would be the goals?
    -) They've proven quite difficult. We have plenty of problems-to-solve knowledge.
    +) That's kind of the point of CHT Type 2.
    #nomad

Many different camp options:
    * La Graciosa seems best option. Try to repeat as it's really nice.
    * Focus on buying more bikes and do a bike camp - this hasn't been done before.
    * Squatting some house would be good too.
    * Northern part of the island (under cliff, next to La Graciosa, but, something is built there now?)
    * the deserty Fuerteventura (neighbour island) for the first time! (30€ roundtrip)
    * [...]


  C) Prototype Type 3 base (camp next to, with support from, existing house):

(See https://totalism.org/hackbase-type3 for details.)

    C1) Find a new local to collaborate with:
        We want:
            * camp on your land
            * use things (electricity, water, washing machine, ...)
            * store our things for some months
            * borrow car
        In exchange:
            * just hang around and be cool (for somebody who likes this project)
            * pay (up to 5€ PPPD)
            * help with planting / constructing / other skills
            * [...]

    C2) Do it @MB1 or very near:
        get permission from X ?

    C3) Actually buy land:
        * still far-fetched ! ... see 🔗season4 for details
        * Could at least do some steps in this direction !



  D) Split up, and do whatever:

    Stay at MB1, rent places, do couch surfing, travel to other island, ...



  S) Occupy [2018-12-03]

Lots of abandoned houses spotted.
This has been a past consideration in the North camps.
