Open Community Camp 2008

Date: 
11 Aug 08 - 17 Aug 08
Venue: 
Roughly between Amsterdam and the Hague, near Schiphol aiport and the town of Leiden at an easily reached outdoor site.

Learn and play with empowering open source technologies. A wonderful week of camping gaining and sharing knowledge. The Wifisoft Foundation organizes Open Community Camp 2008. A week of camping, hacking and social gatherings in the Netherlands. We’re offering a camp site (with an indoor area), power, a solid internet feed, lots of wifi, electricity and, with your helping hands, basic breakfast, meals and barbecues. Depending on the number of groups and logistics we’ll also help to make sure there are additional large tents, chairs and tables. From thereon – it is entirely up to you to make things interesting. We’ve got some 10 confirmed talks and speakers already; on a wide range of topics – from Drupal to Routing to OLPC to ZFS. And of course – there will be a boat trip again through the lakes and canals which surround Leiden.
Spend time on:

  • opensource software,
  • opensource hardware
  • opensource content
  • electronics,
  • wireless,
  • open community building,
  • Meet more geeks, techs and grasroot organisations
