Here are some important announcements for the upcoming CapoCaccia workshop.
Please make an effort and read all the sections, to the end.
=================
Workshop services
-----------------
To get the most out of the workshop, we encourage you to use all the services provided by the neuromorphs.net domain
https://neuromorphs.net/
1) A common login single sign-on portal for all neuromorphs services (https://login.neuromorphs.net/)
2) The mailing list (https://lists.neuromorphs.net/)
3) A forum for sharing announcements, info, and ideas (https://forum.neuromorphs.net/)
5) The "slack-like" open source mattermost messaging service https://mm.neuromorphs.net/capocaccia/
6) The "dropbox-like" open source next-cloud server https://cloud.neuromorphs.net/
We will be using mattermost and nextcloud intensely throughout the workshop, so it is going to be very useful (if not essential) that you make yourself familiar with them.
They also have apps that you can install on your cell-phone for convenience.
You can start using https://forum.neuromorphs.net/t/capocaccia/ and https://mm.neuromorphs.net/capocaccia/ already now to post questions and add information for others to see (e.g. share taxis, plan for rock-climbing, ask for directions, etc.)
If you create new mattermost "channels", to track more easily each year's activities, please start the channel with the year's workshop 2 digits separated by a column (e.g., "26:"). Follow that with the acronym "WG:" for a workgroup channel, "DG:" for a discussion group, or "SA:" for a social activity group (e.g., "26:DG:RobotConsciousness" or "26:SA:RockClimbing")
You can sort the channels by "recent activity", so you don't get lost with the many channels that were created for the past workshops.
====================
Project preparations
--------------------
An important part of the workshop is with it's "hands-on projects". Many of us will bring hardware, sensors, robots, code, and other cool gadgets. Many others will bring (also) code, ideas, and open challenges.
To have an idea of what types of projects are typically done at the workshop, you can checkout the 2025 demos here:

In order to get the most out of the 2 weeks we will be spending at the workshop, it is going to be essential to prepare a project proposal and/or come prepared to work on them *before* arriving there.
We are planning to have a conference call to advertise possible projects you might want to propose, answer questions, and coordinate pre-workshop project organizations on April 20 at 16:00 CET (GMT+01:00).
Save the date!
If you have already a project proposal in mind you might want to create the corresponding mattermost channel, add all the details there, and point participants to that link.
The meeting info is:
