Progress
Introduction
Date: November 3-7, 2014
Location:
German Cancer Research Center, Heidelberg, Germany
More details to follow.
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: Marco Nolden, Sascha Zelzer, Ivo Wolf
Organizing Committee: Steve Pieper, Ivo Wolf, Stephen Aylward
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.

Transportation
It takes about an hour from Frankfurt Airport (FRA) to Heidelberg Main Station with one change in Mannheim. If you stay in the Old Town you can also look for connections going to "Heidelberg Altstadt". You can look it up at Deutsche Bahn, but they run quite frequently.
Lodging
We recommend to stay in the historic Old Town. There is an easy direct bus ride every 10 minutes from there to DKFZ.
We have reserved a number of rooms at the Holländer Hof hotel! Please use "CTK 2014" when you do a reservation there. Of course there are plenty of other hotels in that area, e.g. Goldener Hecht or the oldest house in town, Hotel zum Ritter.
Weather
November is a rather wet month. Average weather in Heidelberg
Food
Plan on having breakfast at your hotel before the meeting. Please email the organizers if you have any allergies or dietary restrictions.
Being a university and hospital campus, there are several lunch possibilities, including cafeterias, a students mensa, and two restaurants.
