Last year we went for white mugs and they were pretty popular. This year we’ve used the OggCamp colour on smart black mugs. I think they look pretty awesome.

You’ll notice the little “Ogg” dude that Fab also designed. I think he fits in quite nicely next to the logos of all our fantastic sponsors, without whom this whole event wouldn’t happen.

Please buy goods and services from these lovely people!

Linux Format , The Open Learning Centre, The Linux Emporium, Viglen, Bitfolk, OpsView, Canonical, Recruit12, Linux Fund and Apress!

So come along to OggCamp on the 1st and 2nd May 2010 in Liverpool and buy one before they all run out!

p.s. we still have a very limited number of the white ones left over from last year. If you’re really lucky you might be able to pick up the full set!

                          

What is OggCamp 10?

OggCamp is a free software / free culture unconference organised by the presenters of the Ubuntu UK Podcast and Linux Outlaws. This year’s OggCamp will take place at The Black-E in Liverpool, UK on the 1st and 2nd of May 2010, 10am – 5pm both days. 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 a great chance. We have many top FOSS developers from around the world joining us.

ENTRY TO OGGCAMP IS COMPLETELY FREE!

If you want to get a feel for the event, have a look at our recap of OggCamp 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 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 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 pretty neatly.

Get Involved

Please add your own ideas for talks and activities to our public wiki 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 also meet other attendees on IRC in #oggcamp on the Freenode network.

Awesome huh!? Click it for big PDF version, or, y’know, go out and buy the fantastic magazine that is Linux Format and see it in the flesh yourself.

It was designed by Fab from Linux Outlaws with input from the collective brain cell that is the OggCamp ‘crew’.

Massive thanks to all our sponsors..
