[Chester LUG] Join Us At OggCamp10!

[Dan Lynch]

OggCamp <http://oggcamp.org/> is a free software / free culture unconference
organised by the presenters of the Ubuntu UK
Podcast<http://podcast.ubuntu-uk.org/>and Linux
Outlaws <http://linuxoutlaws.com/>. This year's OggCamp will take place at *The
Black-E <http://theblack-e.co.uk/> in Liverpool, UK* on the *1st and 2nd of
May 2010*, *10am - 5pm*. It'll be 2 full days of Free Software, Free Culture
and Free Thinking. We have a large venue booked and expect 200-300 people.
If you want a chance to meet others who are passionate about technology and
share ideas this is it. We have many top FOSS developers from around the
world joining us to give talks and attend sessions.

*ENTRY TO OGGCAMP IS COMPLETELY FREE! NO TICKETS REQUIRED*

If you want to get a feel for the event, have a look at our recap of OggCamp
2009 <http://oggcamp.org/2009/>.

*What is an Barcamp / unconference?*
More formal conferences have the usual people speaking every time; an
unconference is an opportunity to interact with new and interesting people.
There won't be a published list of speakers or set schedule before the
event, everyone generates content on the day. That can include you! The
schedule is decided by the attendees and we'll have a voting system for
that.

*What Is An Ogg?*
Ogg Vorbis <http://www.vorbis.com/> is a completely open, patent-free,
professional audio encoding and streaming technology with all the benefits
of Open Source. OggCamp is about technology, Open Source and Freedom, but
also about music, art, politics, community, creativity and much more. We
chose to use the term Ogg because for us it reflects all these things
neatly.

*Get Involved:
*Please add your own ideas for talks and activities to our public
wiki<http://ideas.oggcamp.org/>– help make the event what you want it
to be! It doesn't even have to be
about technology strictly, it could be anything. We have about 60 slots
available and all are welcome - ideas.oggcamp.org

You can meet other attendees on IRC in *#oggcamp* on the Freenode network.
