EMF Camp 2012

As it says on the Electromagnetic Field site:

We're a non-profit group bringing a hacker camp (like CCC, HAR, and toorcamp) to the UK in 2012. It'll be a bit like a cross between a music festival and a conference with a wide range of talks on geeky subjects.

It's Friday, 31st August to Sunday, 2nd September at Pineham Park in Milton Keynes.

Villages

As part of the Electromagnetic Field experience, there will be villages, where like-minded people can join together.

Nottingham Hackspace would like to have a village, complete with tents, people and hijinx.

Stuff we're going to NEED!

Shout up if have any of this we can use!

• 60m Cat5/5e cable

  • are we going to do a full camp cook, or just for us?
  • We (Dominic and James) think whole camp cook.
    • Reckon we'd need around £300 of food - say 150 burgers, 150 sausages, buns and sauces
      • What about cheese??
    • I can get food at around that price from my local butcher James 07:33, 14 August 2012 (EST)
    • Sell for £1.50 - £2.00 per and Hackspace makes a profit!
  • Rubbish Bins and bags!
