Function 2020 - September 18-20
category: parties [glöplog]
@tft:
Dude! Frankly I think not any single government act makes sense in the freakin' Europe nowadays (and no country is an exception sadly!).
I would be more than happy if I could say at least to all my European demoscener friends, that you can come without any restrictions. But sadly this is totally out of our control, and cannot do more than keeping you updated as soon as the changes are communicated by the authorities, and thus like this at least you're not shocked after getting of the plane (e.g. sent to quarantine from the airport by the authorities unexpectedly!)
I hope you won't be right, and there will be still green countries on the list by the date of the party, but to tell the truth, even some of the Hungarian demosceners playing jinx day by day expecting the full country lock down again (as if they would be cheering and enjoying any bad news, or would root for the worst possible outcome...), and thus they try to drive me crazy (but they won't succeed :P ).
All in all:
The party is still on, still planned to happen as it used to be, and with a bit of a luck it will!
If by any big disaster again all of the events will be canceled by the government, at least we will be able to say: "Yeah! We've failed, but at least we'd tried to succeed!"

Ahhh....demoscene passive aggressiveness , How I've missed you <3
Hi, does Function allow having a video (Wild) entry that contains a track that is also submitted for the Music compo? (The video entry would show a live performance of the track, and contains synced generated visuals based on the midi.)
(Because I want the track to compete with other tracks (not with other Wild entries), but I would also like to show the live performance with the synced visuals, since the track is made as a recorded live performance with VCV Rack and a custom midi performance software and a bunch of midi controllers..)

tft: you obviously also need a dictionary along with it :D

Please send an email to contact@function.hu, and thus the compo team will see your question, and they will be able to tell you if there's any restriction!

Indeed. Foreigners are not allowed to enter Hungary after 1st of Sept. :(
(there are exceptions, but Function is not the UEFA SuperCup final.)

But thats bad news for Function.. Hopefully not another party at risc in 2020 :(
...hopefully at least a Hungarian-only-at-site party for you guys + stream as usual...I guess lots of entries are already in the finalisation process...
Hi all,
We've waited with any official statement until the government publishes the specific restrictions and exceptions (what happened yesterday in the official government press/gazette called "Magyar közlöny").
So the situation is the following:
Sadly no foreign citizens are allowed to enter the country from tomorrow (2020.09.01.) until further notice (Yeah we know! Our heart is bleeding too!)
Of course there are a few exceptions (like visiting a cultural event, taking part of some official competition, family events, so not just the UEFA SuperCup) which could be applied to you, but all of this has to be requested by you (one by one), we sadly cannot help you with this process (except maybe if you need some official statement or certificate about you'll attend Function which is a cultural demoscene event). We don't know how it is done officially (we're pretty sure there most be some electronic/digital form, mail, etc.), but most probably all the embassys have been notified about the process.
But we would like to avoid to build any false hope or expectations within you in connection with travelling to Hungary. Just for the record: even our beloved co-main-amiga-oldskool-network-organizer Charlie has decided yesterday, that he won't travel to Hungary, but rather assist our efforts from Berlin, because even for him the bureaucratic burden would had been quite heavy regardless the fact he's a Hungarian citizen!
So the thing is the following:
If you can enter the country in any lawful and official way, and if you're registered on the party site (Function.hu) you're more than welcome, but the process to get here could be extremely difficult so we don't advise this to any of you.
So it SUCKS! F*CK COVID!
We hope at least you'll enjoy our stream, and the Hungarian sceners the on-site version of the party (but of course it won't be the same without you!).
We will get back to you soon (because we're working on some remote ticket, remote voting solution meanwhile), but as always in every year:
You can send us remote entries, and you can follow us on the official stream!
Hang in there,
Function <3 YOU!

Massive fuckings to our inept government and their idiotic decisions. I hope they had a great time on their strawmen's yachts in Croatia.
As you may know the Hungarian borders are closed, so this years Function will be for Hungarians only on site. We'll do our best to have a great coverage of the party (inside and outside) on the stream.
The place allows us 150 ppl as quest, so today we're going to remove all the registrations on 2020.function.hu today at 20:00 CEST. So don't be surprised, and please DO NOT re-register if you can't be at the party personally.
If you are already in Hungary (live here, came here earlier and will be here at Function time) and you are not in quarantine, you can come to the party if you re-register here: http://2020.function.hu/#subscribe.
And again: Please DO NOT (re-)register if you can't come to the party!
here are the rules:
- If you did not register, we won't let you in.
- Do not hug the organizers! We mean it. There are some guys who are currently in higher risk category.
- Do not hug each other if not necessary.
- It is required to wear mask inside the building and especially in the Compo Area!
- Do not get closer to the compo team than 1.5 meter.
Remote entries are more than welcome. :)

Hi! I tried emailing contact@function.hu some days ago to check if that is the proper way to deliver remote entries. No answer yet, though. I just want to know if you get my mail and if it's the proper way of delivering some goods.
same here.
I've just talked with the one and only Compo Team Lead, and he'd promised replies very soon ( he was away in the past few days)
he did :) thank you!
So that means remote entries are to be sent to contact@function.hu?
Gopher: yes! exactly
If you can't come to the party, but you want to support or participate:
