Final sale: two more weeks, april 14th absolute bottom deadline

   Yesterday, the 1000th HAR2009 ticket was sold. A great moment, you
   early-birds make this event possible!

   To celebrate, the early-bird deadline has been extended one final time.
   Up until April 14th [1]tickets will sell for the early-bird rate of
   EUR 155,- (with a EUR 5,- discount if you enter the special discount
   code ‘FINAL’). That is a spectacular 16.666% discount on the new ticket
   price of EUR 185,- going into effect after April 14th. Compared to the
   projected door price of EUR 200,-, that’s a whopping 22.5% discount.
   For two full weeks.

   Folks from the US, who might have only recently learned about HAR2009
   from [2]the 2600 site, will also appreciate this final sale. Those
   same folks might be interested to hear that there might be a Hackers On
   A Plane (HOAP2009) coming over to HAR2009; if you’re interested in
   that, contact [3]Nick Farr for details.

   So this is your absolute final chance to get your dirt-cheap HAR2009
   tickets at the special early-birds rate! (<smallprint>please allow up
   to 14 days for international transfers to come through transfer rates

   available are our special corporate tickets at EUR 1500,- each -
   customers are eligible to camping space lots of hard work fun and play
   usage of the sanitary facilities</smallprint>).

Repeat CALL FOR PAPERS

   This announcement is all about deadlines, there are just 4 weeks left
   in the Call for Papers. Just in case you missed it: about 3 months ago
   the [4]CfP for HAR2009 asked for interesting presentations, workshops and
   lectures. There is still opportunity to talk at HAR2009, just send in
   your proposal before May 1st.

   When this series of conferences started twenty years ago, the net was
   new and unexplored terrain where only the bold dared to tread, and
   where legislation and regulation were absent. That has changed. Today,
   the net is all round us, spanning the globe. No aspects of our lives
   remain untouched by digital technology. On HAR2009 the new questions
   arisen as a result of that revolution will be subject of discussion.
   The three main tracks revolve around Dealing with data (DD),
   Decentralization (DeCent) and People and Politics (PNP).

   The uniting theme is, of course, technology. Explicitly sollicited are
   any talks, workshops or other activities that are about pure, hard
   technology. But, don’t be afraid to submit anything of a less technical
   nature, maybe just skirting the fringes of technology. But, remember,
   _all_ talks and workshops should definetely be interesting and
   knowledgeable, hopefully be groundbreaking, and possibly, fun.

   Your proposals may be submitted to our paper submission system on
   [5]https://pentabarf.har2009.org/submission/HAR2009, and are due May
   1st, 2009. If you have any questions regarding your submission or the
   submission system (pentabarf) be sure to bother [6]the speakerdesk!

Field Day April 18th

   Just in case you missed it in the previous announcement: everyone is
   invited to join the HAR2009 terrain tour on april 18th. So far, 40
   people from 5 different countries and representing at least 9 villages
   have signed up to join the sight-seeing. Now that spring has come, we
   are in for a lush green Paasheuvel, the area in Vierhouten where
   HAR2009 will take place. If you are in any way curious about where the
   event will be, make sure to join. And if you are into parallel kingdom,
   maybe you can already stake out some flags!

   For more information, including the exact times and coordinates as well
   as car-pools, please consult [7]the wiki.
