- April 25 (6pm – 10 pm) – feminist sysadmin sessions (female only) – at Coschey Local DIY (Yaroslavska St, 4Б, Kyiv, 02000)
We will gather in a non-mixed (female only) environment to talk about feminist infrastructures, experiences of women in tech, our fears, hopes and needs. We will learn how to set up an email server.

- April 27 (11am-7pm) – the Unconference – at the Port Creative Hub (Naberezhno-Khreshachatyts’ka St, 10А, Kyiv, 02000)
Our Unconference is a day of talks, hands-on sessions, hacking and workshops about Decentralization, secure messaging and email, at-risk user needs and desires, designing decentralized communication systems, running community infrastructures, living off the grid (deconstructing the myth of “always-online”), developing arts of not being governed (in tech and in politics)!
The Unconference features an exhibition of Demian Feriy, our friend and artist from Kyiv, who is also helping to design our Game.
We accept ideas for talks, sessions, workshops! Please send us your proposals at deltaxi@riseup.net or [here].
- April 28 (12pm – 5pm): The Game – at the Basecamp (Andriivskiy descent – full address on request)
The Game is a new way to test the latest developments and functionalities of Delta Chat in real-life conditions, in the heart of Podil district of Kyiv. During The Game two teams will compete and collaborate to cope with a set of tasks: from finding dead-drops with some gifts and surprises in the city, to sharing pictures of “adversaries” located all around the neighborhood, or kidnapping a famous “politician”, or transferring sensitive data from a “whistleblower”. In the beginning of the game you will have a card with a symbolic “role” that will guide you during the game, and each task will help unfold new challenges, small gifts and adventures. In the end we will gather for dinner with snacks and drinks provided, and share our experiences and impressions. More info on The Game here. If you want to play – write us on deltaxi@riseup.net
- April 28 (8pm – midnight+…) – CRYPTOPARTY! at Coschey Local DIY
Join us for dancing, dreaming and drinking in the atmosphere of post-apocalyptic utopia. Last time we gathered around a hundred people for the Post-Apocalyptic Cyber Halloween. This time, its Cyber Easter, so prepare for some miracles to happen: costumes are very welcome!
- Monday, Tuesday: hacking, chilling together at the Basecamp
If you want to stay in touch and even start working on/with Delta Chat – please drop by on Monday and Tuesday (holidays!) at our relaxed Basecamp, where you can meet us, share coffee or lunch, propose your contributions, ask us everything about decentralization or teach us new stuff that we would never know otherwise!
