There's been talk for far too long about a hacker camp in the UK; let's make it happen. Europe has a great history of camps: Hacking At Random 2009. Chaos Communication Camp 2011.  


Let's have one in the UK. Sod the Olympics, let's make this the event of 2012.

*it's possible to rent a connection via satellite for a reasonable price. An event I recently attended had a commercial video photographer using one, and it wasn't a big-bucks setup by any means. Afaicr he had at least 10meg but more may be possible - he considered it feasible for connecting communities, not just for single temporary use. Site equipment included a smallish dish on a trailer. Artag.

** Satellite Internet has high latency, 10-20x that of a normal connection. [[User:Robert|Robert]] 07:22, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

** I thought that was the case, but the connection was made available for use and I didn't find it a problem. Perhaps I wasn't very demanding and put any delays down to the shared use, but it was by no means as bad as I expected.
** The Multiplay events manage it (though they're held at a racecourse, but they have camping.). tomwardill.
*** Something like a racecouse/track or airbase that's geared up for events already would be a good place to start looking [[User:Ms7821|Ms7821]] 08:02, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
