Akademy attendees who want a change of scene are invited to this Adventure at Brno Reservoir. There won't be any BoFs on Wednesday afternoon.

As the weather forecast predicts a 70% chance of rain on Wednesday afternoon, the initial plan for daytrip (outdoor activities in the Tower of Hercules area and beach) has been cancelled and a new daytrip is proposed. In the new plan, we propose to visit Aquarium Finisterrae and Domus museum, if the weather is good enough in the evening we might still visit Tower of Hercules area.

Vienna from Kahlenberg by Clemens Pfeiffer After 2 days of talks and 2 1/2 days of BoF it's time to take your eyes away from the beautiful code that makes up our software and go to look at the beautiful city of Vienna from above. The daytrip of Akademy 2018 will lead us to Kahlenberg, a 484 m high hill. But don't worry, you don't need to hike up (except you want).
