<div dir="ltr">Hi Les,<div><br></div><div>Hmm... that is very tempting! Anyone else here considering going? We could maybe get a car pool going or something. :)</div><div><br></div><div>You probably should have mentioned that its an unconferenced thing, and that tickets are free in your e-mail. Seems it could be interesting, since I couldn't make oggcamp a few weeks (month?) back. Seems I missed out on a lot on that. However with it being near London, it was going to be a hassle to get down there (price-wise, whether it was drive/train/bus).</div>
<div><br></div><div>For those that haven't been to an unconferenced before, or haven't heard about them... basically there is no official schedule, anyone can go and anyone can do a talk/discussion/etc if they so wish, or just observe/part take in them. There's some REALLY good videos (however sound is a bit low on them) of oggcamp here: <a href="http://blip.tv/show/772977">http://blip.tv/show/772977</a> - and if that's anything to go by, it could be a really fun and entertaining event!</div>
<div><br></div><div>Some videos that really got my attention from oggcamp were:<br><ul><li>RepRap 3D printer - <a href="http://blip.tv/episode/5498989">http://blip.tv/episode/5498989</a></li><li>Digital Image Forensic - <a href="http://blip.tv/episode/5487612">http://blip.tv/episode/5487612</a></li>
<ul><li>He talks about his tool called "CliTrack" (which he open-sourced) which can grab some really interesting information contained inside of jpeg images. It can also do searches based on a small collection (i.e. finds similar images)... and many other things! Really interesting, and funny to watch too!<br>
</li></ul><li>Open Source Hardware - <a href="http://blip.tv/episode/5493542">http://blip.tv/episode/5493542</a></li><li>Open Source Your Career - <a href="http://blip.tv/episode/5493784">http://blip.tv/episode/5493784</a></li>
<li>And many many more... over all it seems I missed on a great unconferenced! :(</li></ul><div>Like I said, it could be really fun to go to this one - with it being a bit closer to home, and is about the same age as oggcamp.</div>
