Hi Folks,<div><br></div><div>Just a quick reminder in case I haven't bugged you enough already. We're running <a href="http://oggcamp.org">OggCamp</a> in Liverpool again this year. The biggest Free Software and Free Culture event in the UK. It's 2 days of talks, workshops, parties, hands on hacking sessions and more. It's all free (as in beer) and you can sign up via Eventbrite. More details at - <a href="http://oggcamp.org">http://oggcamp.org</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>Mark the date in your diary: <b>August 18th & 19th 2012</b> @ <b>LJMU Art & Design Academy</b>, Liverpool City Centre. It runs 10am - 5pm each day with social events in the evenings.</div><div>
<br></div><div>There's 5 tracks this time. One scheduled speaker track, 3 barcamp tracks and our Open Hardware Jam room where we'll be joined by some of the best hackers and projects around: Raspberry Pi, Fignition, Arduino, ColorHug and RepRap to mention just a few. Pitch a talk or session for the barcamp and share something you think others may find interesting. The schedule is finalised on the weekend by our wonderful Free (as in Freedom, it's GPL) CampFire Manager software. Attendees can vote via the web or text message and we put the most popular talks in the biggest rooms. It's not just about source code and circuit boards, though those are important. We also have art, music, animation, politics, economics, open data and almost anything you could want to know about. The overall rule is that knowledge should be shared, that way everyone can benefit.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I think that's enough hard sell. If you have a project you'd like to exhibit, or just just have some pressing questions about the event, please drop me an email.</div><div><br></div><div>We're kindly supported this time by the wonderful <b><a href="http://www.ljmu.ac.uk/aps/OpenLabs/">Open Labs @ LJMU</a></b> and <b><a href="http://www.bytemark.co.uk/">Bytemark Web Hosting</a></b>.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Hope to see many of you there, if you haven't signed up yet, do it now and please tell friends.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div><br></div><div>Dan</div><div>------------------------------------</div>
