The Gulaschprogrammiernacht (lit. 'Goulash Programming Night'; GPN) is an annual hacker convention in Karlsruhe, Germany. It is organized by Entropia (organization) [de] since 2002.^[1][2][3][4]

The first Goulash Programming Night took place in the basement of the Gewerbehof in Karlsruhe. After the young Entropia e.V. threatened to run into financial difficulties, the members organized the first Goulash Programming Night between April 12 and 14, 2002. The name of the event is to be taken literally: During these three days, several dozen young people programmed and ate goulash, mostly at night.^[5][6]

In 2010, Goulash Programming Nights 9 and 10 took place due to a planning error. Since the planned premises were not available on the intended date, Goulash Programming Night 9 was celebrated in a small circle, while Goulash Programming Night 10 took place a few weeks later at the originally planned location, the HfG Karlsruhe

Since 2009, the GPN has been held in the rooms of the HfG Karlsruhe. Since 2014, the rooms of the neighboring ZKM Karlsruhe have also been used. In 2017, over 1,000 visitors were counted simultaneously for the first time.^[7]

The GPN is open continuously for four days from the opening and is used by many visitors throughout the entire period. It is divided into two areas:

The lecture program is announced in the respective "schedule"^[8] and includes both challenging specialist lectures and beginner-friendly or humorous contributions, as well as workshops, show contributions, and panel discussions on technical, political, and social topics.

In addition to the lecture program, the GPN offers space in the Hack Center and the adjacent rooms for participants' own projects and activities. Infrastructure in the form of power supply, fast network access, and an internal DECT telephone network is provided. Bringing your own hardware, presenting current projects, and spontaneous activities by participants are an integral part of the program and are explicitly encouraged.

Every year, smaller and larger artists perform at GPN. Among others, the band Systemabsturz, well-known in the Chaos Computer Club, performed at GPN21.^[9]
