Hello all,

I run an Open Source community event called OggCamp, it's one of the 
oldest and largest in the UK. Our 10th birthday is coming up in October 
and we'll be running the event on October 19th & 20th 2019 at the 
Pendulum Hotel conference centre in Manchester. There are also social 
events at the hotel on Friday Oct 18th and many people make a full 
weekend of it.

What the hell is it though? Good question, I'm glad you asked. Many of 
the previous The quickest way to get up to speed is to watch the short 
video (5mins) on our home page - https://oggcamp.org

It's a 2 day conference, barcamp, hackfest and general get together of 
geeks, makers, tinkerers and others. We have a scheduled track of 
speakers on the main stage with an opening keynote by Andy 
Stanford-Clark who'll tell us about how the Mosquitto project was 
actually created at the first OggCamp in 2009 and what's happening 
since. A full list of scheduled speakers and topics can be found here - 
https://oggcamp.org/speakers/

There will also be 3 barcamp tracks where anyone can pitch a talk or 
session and run it. This always brings out interesting things we never 
would have planned and of course we'd love you to get involved.

We have exhibition spaces available at the moment for companies, 
projects and community groups. It's all free (as in beer) so if you're 
interested drop me an email and we can talk about it.

There will be a kids track with events for the family on Saturday, our 
Open Hardware Jam in which workshops and other things take place. This 
is run by the awesome folks behind Liverpool MakeFest, so if you enjoyed 
that event this should be right up your street!

This year we are also partnering with FlawCon a security conference 
which will run as part of OggCamp on Sunday. So there's plenty to do and 
see.

Tickets are available for the price of your choosing (yes including 
free, that's fine) at https://oggcamp.org/tickets/

Ok this message is probably long enough so if you read this far I thank 
you. I welcome any questions or enquiries about OggCamp so feel free to ask
