Nottinghack Projects

If you're planning to do a project to take to EMF 2016 and might want to collaborate with others or group together for transport etc, please consider adding a page to this section.

  • BarBot - Mouse is looking for volunteers to run BarBot. It's a lot of work, but a lot of fun too. We need at least three people during the event and one coordinator/planner pre- and during the event. Unpaid, but maybe you get a T-shirt. Contact Mouse if you'd like to be involved.
  • Pedal Powered Bad Movie Night, if Doc little is interested in setting it up!
  • Giant knitting, as per The Manly Art of Knitting

Restrictions

  • Fire installations (propane puffers and such) are welcome, although all fire stuff must be raised off the ground to avoid turf damage.
  • Vehicles (art cars and such) are still be be decided by EMF org. Maybe in a separated are away from general camping.

Transport

Option 1: Van Hire

  • Quote for Luton van hire for Wed before event to Tue after from Watts Van Hire, Radford: "£360.00inc plus £250.00 credit/debit card refundable deposit, includes 1000 miles 20p per mile thereafter."
  • Needs a driver able to do van pickup and drop off
  • Con: It's sort of a pain in the butt
  • Pro: Probably cheapest way to do it for lots of stuff
  • Pro: Known quantity - we've done it before

Option 2: Commercial Palletised

  • Pallet loads are a standard size (length=1m, width=1.2m height=1.8m)
  • You can do half height (0.9m) or 'quarter' height (0.6m) ones too, but need to make sure they can have more pallets stacked on top, which could be real heavy!
  • Packing quality is importart. Load must stay within footprint of pallet, withstand transport jolts & movement and be weatherproof
  • Approx cost for 1 x full height pallets to EMF site from the space: £50-£75 +VAT for economy (2 day) delivery
  • Easy quotes here (probably not the cheapest): http://bit.ly/1LzYUzN
  • Pro: Scalable - we only pay for what we use, and with more money we can take a crazy amount of stuff for basically the same amount of effort
  • Pro: Easy - pick up from space, drop at site (there is an EMF staging are for deliveries)
  • Con: Probably more expensive than a van
  • Con: Have to arrange time for pickup/drop off and have people at the space to handle it

Misc other ideas
