As students graduate and new students start, the demands of students also change. As such suggestions are always welcome - especially about (new) activities.How is the team organized?
Everyone in the team is equal and can contribute to organization. As such organization is also bound to change over time. Currently, we do:- Organize and communicate in our Matrix Space with several channels for different topics
- Monthly surveys regarding availability and interest for upcoming CTFs
CTF meetups in 01.08.033 or online (generally Discord).How can I participate?
To join the Matrix Space, please send a brief mail to info@h4tum.de and we can send you an invite link
To participate in CTFs, please participate in the surveys. We will then try to meetup in-person or online, so make sure to join us there!Can I be in h4tum and still play in other teams?
Yes. If you’re participating with another team on a CTF where h4tum is also playing, make sure to leave the h4tum CTF channel and join back afterwardsCan I stay in h4tum after I graduate?
Yes.I have a friend outside of TUM that is also interested, can he also join?
Yes, but it should be clear that h4tum will remain dedicated to TUM students and its communityHow do we select who's going to on-site finals?
Selection is generally performed completely random. Spots will first be given to people that participated in the qualifier. If afterwards there are still free spots, remaining spots are given randomly to everyone else that is interested. Past participation in CTFs is not requiredWhat about prizes in CTFs?
Prizes go equally to all players that won the prize and they are free to decide what to do with them. We do not make any distinction about how well each individual performed.Can I join the team on CTFtime?
TL;DR: No. CTFtime does not have a role system, thus every member has full rights to administer the team. For this reason, no new members are accepted, unless there is an explicit need (such as for executive members of the club).How can I proof CTF participation and h4tum membership to other entities?
We strongly recommend creating writeups for solved challenges and publishing them on our website and github. This is the best proof of your participation and accomplishment. Furthermore, we also offer personalized certificates to club members and past participants. If you give us your explicit approval, we will also answer membership inquiries from third-parties at info@h4tum.de.
