&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Meeting minutes, 9 July 2014, from 7:30pm at London Hackspace&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Already many more people here than ever came to a planning meeting in 2012. Maybe ~25. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Teams present: core org, stage (Tim), info (SamLR), security (Martin), bar + site (Russ), networking &amp;amp; power (Will-h etc), volunteering (Lyndsey, Kate, etc), &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unfortunately nobody from the &amp;quot;kids&amp;quot; team was able to attend. First-aid was also busy. Video/AV also not here. And: badge, sponsors, content.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Camp intro ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Will-h showing a map of the site. It's just outside Bletchley.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Canonical map is at http://maps.emfcamp.org/&lt;br /&gt;
dxf files available at https://github.com/emfcamp/gis-2014&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Check out the quadcopter video to get a good impression of the site:&lt;br /&gt;
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-O66rNQpyrk&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Focus of the map is on camp layout, and the stages. It also shows water, power, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
Green areas are grass, yellow are field -- some of it will be covered with flooring. Darker green: hedges. The camp area looks quite thin on the map but it's actually remarkably large.&lt;br /&gt;
Info tent will be near the lake, next to main entrance. Family camping will be right at the north end of the camp. Some other parts have been allocated, but much is still developing. We have access to a lot more field than we will need.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We're not allowed to enter the lake -- it's for irrigation. Will be fenced off. As will be parts of the forest. Track along the forest will be used as fire access / emergency route.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Transport and vehicles on site ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shuttle buses likely from Bletchley station (3.3 miles, &amp;quot;a 9 minute drive&amp;quot;). Paul is looking into this. This year we won't be driving shuttle buses ourselves as last time. We found that hiring someone to drive is not a big deal financially. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Road from parking spaces to camp site is only single-track, so all transport to site will likely be restricted in some way. It causes some concerns about operations/logistics so we'll likely regulate access somehow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Key concern about vehicles on site is attendee safety. Once the site is open we will heavily control vehicles on site.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you intend to unload your car you should best arrive on Thursday evening to ensure you get fairly easy access.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Camp setup and teardown ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Would be good to hear from people who can be available between Tuesday the week before and Thursday the week after the event. It helps greatly if we know you and know that you are reliable.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Set up will start on the Tuesday because the Monday is a bank holiday.&lt;br /&gt;
We have the site until Thur (in theory), so expect to have been cleared out by Wednesday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We ask that you only do camp setup or teardown, but not both. If you turn up before mid-afternoon on Thursday you WILL be helping us with the setup. You will also be fed by us.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This year we are paying people to put tents up (the marquee hire company). The tents are massive, and there will be a lot of them. Tents are our biggest single expense.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We most likely need volunteers to put up fencing. The fence will be provided on stillage so we can telehandle it in the right place -- 6-7 volunteers should be able to do that in a day or two.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you help with camp setup we will require you to wear a hi-vis vest. We will train you in some basic safety procedures -- always stay aware of what's happening around you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We expect ~10 articulated trucks to arrive on the first day -- bringing in hundreds of tons of equipment and stuff. 1.5 tons of cable alone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Catering, on-site supplies, fire safety ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We have 4 external food vendors, and the coffee guy from last time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Closest supermarket is a Sainsburys in Bletchley (Brunel Centre, MK2 2JS)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We will NOT allow open fires. It's a big safety risk.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We will NOT have a vendor for camping supplies -- the ones we talked to don't serve &amp;quot;small&amp;quot; festivals of our size.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Waste==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Set of bins for mixed recycling, some for other kinds of rubbish. 1,100 liter bins, skips, etc. &amp;quot;It's quite complicated.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
These will be distributed across the site.&lt;br /&gt;
There will be no collections during the event, everything will be picked up at the end.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''Since this meeting an order has been placed, details: [[Team:Sanitation#Rubbish_.26_Recycling|Rubbish]]''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Power &amp;amp; network==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Same as 2012, just three times larger. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another microwave link. Line of sight survey in the next month, to a local data centre.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Event license==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Last time we had a TEN. This time we're getting a proper event license. This means: no hard restriction on attendee numbers, but lots of admin overhead. Sent forms to 9 orgs for consultation. Currently still in that process. We're confident that we will be able to deal with any potential objections during this process.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Press/event promo ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We would love to hear from people who want to write blog posts and help us document and promote the camp.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So far we've sought limited publicity, there will be more of that closer to the event. Same as last time, this &amp;quot;delayed promo&amp;quot; approach worked really well. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We have friendly contacts at BBC, Guardian, misc hacker sites, etc. But do tell us if you know any friendly/interested journalists/media people.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We're not publishing the number of tickets we sold ahead of the event -- last time had an unfortunate experience with a potential caterer who bailed because we hadn't sold enough tickets early enough. We did of course sell out, so (as Russ puts it) &amp;quot;the joke's on them&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Badge ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We really need help writing code for the badge. Talk to Marek or Jonty. The hardware this time is really fun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Funding was a bit of an adventure; 2 early sponsors didn't come through. Got it sorted in the end.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Bar ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The bar is set up as a village square. Sitting area, stretch tent, that kind of stuff. Social area, to eat food, drink beer. There's lots of interest in setting up installations there, we're currently figuring out how much we should put there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There will be good beer. And cider. Probably no spirits -- harder to deal with leftovers at that scale. Looking at chilled containers atm.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We will need lots of volunteers for bar servers. This will be announced closer to the event, same as for all other volunteering positions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Lounge tent ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There will be a more quiet lounge tent, separate from the bar. A chillout area. Likely nautically themed. There may be carpets and other nice things. Likely a &amp;quot;take your shoes off&amp;quot; tent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Currently seeking sponsors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Content ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Have 75 talk submissions so far. We can fit ~40 a day in the schedule. We expect there'll be some space left for improvised sessions. A committee reviews submissions, we're very open to all kinds of talks, even by people who've had little prior experience.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== First aid ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(In Ben's absence)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We're looking for trained first aiders. You will get a free ticket.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Volunteers ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We don't give free tickets to general volunteers. None of the organisers gets a free ticket either. Running a camp like this is very expensive.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Experience showed that night shifts are harder to fill. We will need people to cover these! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Info tent ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Spreading information. Having contacts for everyone. Area maps. All that stuff.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We will look for volunteers to run this.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Our experience from last time is also that info tent is often first-line ops/tech support -- power, network, toilet rolls, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Kids ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Team not present)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Entirely sponsored by UCL -- e.g. fully funded child care for kids under 5.&lt;br /&gt;
Big kids area. By law every young child gets 7.5m²  of space! Adults get less.&lt;br /&gt;
We sold approx 35 kids tickets already! (Combined child and teen ticket tiers.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Phone ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There will be a phone team setting up a mobile phone network. In collaboration with O2. &lt;br /&gt;
You will need a different SIM card to get on this network. Coverage level tbc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Radio station ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Not present)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Won't have an FM license -- too expensive. But there will be continuous online streaming.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Sanitation ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There will be toilets. They should be not unpleasant. &amp;lt;strike&amp;gt;Portaloo&amp;lt;/strike&amp;gt; Portable toilet style. Disabled and urinals as well. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We will have showers. We will consider the setup/teardown schedule in their provision.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There will be clean drinking water (This time also a water supply near the bar.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Security ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We need at least 2 people at the front gate at all times. Likely more during peak times.&lt;br /&gt;
There's a constant need for small security matters throughout the event. We will seek volunteers for this.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We really hope we can avoid getting an external security team. This is still to be determined. (Having them would avoid any SIA qualification concerns, among other considerations.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There will be some kind of secure and free storage. Maybe a container or dedicated tent. This is still in planning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Shiny ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
£5k shiny budget. There's unlikely to be any of that left by now -- all kinds of interesting things are planned.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Stage ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This team is focused on technical aspects of stage management.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3 stages, 40 speakers a day, 3 team members currently -- we will need volunteers to run this. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Talks will definitely be recorded on site and then uploaded/archived somewhere. They will almost certainly be streamed live. There's a dedicated A/V team for this.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Stage management ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Heralding&amp;quot; etc. Announcing talks, preparing speakers. The mostly non-technical parts of stage work.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is no team for this yet. We can sort this out closer to the event. Let us know if you'd like to run this.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Villages ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Need someone to coordinate villages. There is no team for this yet. Let us know if you'd like to run this.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Volunteering ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Currently evaluating volunteer coordination systems. Engelssystem looks ok so far. &lt;br /&gt;
Info tent will have a computer with access to the coordination system. There will also be a large shared whiteboard, signup sheets for small tasks, etc.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

		<summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;Naxxfish: /* Would people be interested in a talk on X? */&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;{{link-banner}}&lt;br /&gt;
This is a work in progress. Keep checking for updates.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==General==&lt;br /&gt;
===Who are you?===&lt;br /&gt;
This event is organised by a non-profit organisation and produced entirely by volunteers. We are members of well-known hackerspaces and other organisations. Get in touch if you want to join us in making this happen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Who are you (officially)?===&lt;br /&gt;
Electromagnetic Field Ltd. is a non-profit company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales with company number 07788466.&lt;br /&gt;
Registered office: 2 Ockendon Mews, London N1 3JL&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Why are you doing this?===&lt;br /&gt;
There now are dozens of hackerspaces and makerspaces in the UK, and countless other communities of craftsmen, artists, designers, engineers who are interested in the same DIY ethic; but they have few opportunities to all meet up. Most events catering to these communities are small regional conferences and often focused on very specific themes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We want to change that :)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Why Milton Keynes?===&lt;br /&gt;
We looked at a fair number of candidate sites. The site we ended up with was the best candidate for a number of reasons:&lt;br /&gt;
* It comes at a comparably low price (some of the candidate sites we looked at asked for tens of thousands of £££.)&lt;br /&gt;
* It has great transport links to much of the UK (both roads and trains.)&lt;br /&gt;
* It is close(ish) to a few data centres and high speed Internet uplinks.&lt;br /&gt;
* We were there last time and it seemed to work well&lt;br /&gt;
Bonus: it is very close to Bletchley Park :)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===How big is it?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2012, we had an attendance limit of 500 and fully sold out. This year we are expecting around 1,200 people. Buy your ticket early to avoid disappointment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Ticket Sales==&lt;br /&gt;
===How can I get a ticket?===&lt;br /&gt;
Tickets are on sale from our web site here:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''https://www.emfcamp.org/tickets/choose'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This time there will be no day tickets and camp tickets are likely to sell out in advance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===How much does it cost?===&lt;br /&gt;
Adult tickets are currently £95. But it's worth noting that the earlier you buy a ticket the cheaper they'll be. There are a limited number of tickets available for under-14s at a lower price (accompanied by an adult). Children under 5 can attend for free.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you have a Camper van you will need a Camper van ticket. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you want to bring a car you'll also need a car parking ticket.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can pay by bank transfer (in pounds sterling or Euros), a one-time direct debit (in pounds sterling or Euros), or by credit or debit card via Stripe (which charges a small fee).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Can I get a day ticket?===&lt;br /&gt;
Sorry, EMF 2012 was sold to capacity and we found that the day tickets prevented people from attending the whole event. For this reason, we can only offer tickets for the whole event. You are welcome to only come to one day, or to stay off-site and attend only during the days, but you will need a weekend ticket.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Can I get a family ticket?===&lt;br /&gt;
Unfortunately, as every attendee including children counts towards our capacity limit, we are unable to offer family or group tickets. We have however already discounted the child ticket prices by 60% which is as far as the budget allows.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Will I be able to turn up and buy a ticket?===&lt;br /&gt;
It is extremely unlikely that any tickets will remain by the time of the event. Watch this space.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Do volunteers pay for their ticket?===&lt;br /&gt;
Everyone is expected to buy a ticket, including people in the organising team and all volunteers. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is there an age limit?===&lt;br /&gt;
We encourage children and young people to attend. We are planning specific activities for children as well as daycare facilities, and will confirm more details nearer to the time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However there are a number of things to bear in mind:&lt;br /&gt;
* Everyone under 18 needs to be registered at the Infodesk when they enter the camp. This is a requirement of our event license.&lt;br /&gt;
* Children under the age of 14 must be accompanied by an adult at all times.&lt;br /&gt;
* There will be dangerous things on site, but they will be clearly marked.&lt;br /&gt;
* Licensed alcohol sales are only for people of age 18 and over. Bar staff will ask for ID.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Can't enter the transaction reference?===&lt;br /&gt;
If you are having trouble entering the transaction reference into your online banking, just remove the hyphen. Some banks don't like it and don't tell you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Do you have a Code of Conduct?===&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, please see [https://www.emfcamp.org/code-of-conduct Code of conduct]. If you buy a ticket you are agreeing to abide by this.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What terms and conditions apply to ticket sales and attendance?===&lt;br /&gt;
Please see our [https://www.emfcamp.org/pay/terms terms] page.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Can I pay more? TAKE MY MONEY!===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you can afford it and wish to help support the event financially by paying a bit more for your ticket, you can buy a Supporter ticket. We're a non-profit event and so the money will go towards making the event even more awesome.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Planning your Attendance==&lt;br /&gt;
===Where is it? How can I get there?===&lt;br /&gt;
Refer to [[Location]]. '''NOTE: We have moved!''' It's only a few miles down the road, but please don't go to the old site!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===When can I arrive? When do I have to leave by?===&lt;br /&gt;
The site will open to ticket holders at 10:00 Friday morning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All ticket holders must leave the site by 12:00 Monday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We will be there before and afterwards setting up and packing up, if you want to help with this please let us know and we can make arrangements. It's worth noting outside these times we can't guarantee availability of toilets/water/electricity/internet etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Have a look at our Timeline for an updated summary.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===When do things kick off?===&lt;br /&gt;
The talks and workshops will begin after lunch on Friday, although people will be setting up earlier in the day. You can arrive from 10am.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Talks and workshops run daily through to the evening, although we expect villages will be doing things late into the night!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What should I bring?===&lt;br /&gt;
Please take a look at our [[Packing List]] for information on what you should and shouldn't bring.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Will there be food?===&lt;br /&gt;
We appreciate we didn't do well at this last time. This year we have lined up multiple food stalls, hopefully catering to all your needs. Initial details are at [[Food]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Will there be a bar?===&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, we'll be running a volunteer-staffed licensed bar selling beer and wine, as well as soft drinks and the hacker energy drink Club Mate. Far from the usual crap festival beer, we will be serving real ale from local breweries with all profits going towards making the next iteration of Electromagnetic Field more awesome.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The bar on site opening hours are subject to licensing which will be finalised soon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the camping areas there will also be push taps of drinking water available for free.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Can I bring pets?===&lt;br /&gt;
Sorry, animals (except registered assistance dogs) are not allowed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Can I smoke?===&lt;br /&gt;
Smoking is not allowed in any of the event tents or in the food/bar area. Elsewhere, please be considerate and very careful to extinguish your cigarettes to avoid setting the dry grass on fire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Can I bring X/Y/Z?===&lt;br /&gt;
tl;dr Probably&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Please let us know if it's going to be large/use a lot of power/be noisy or anything else you think we should know. We don't plan on stopping people bringing the latest cool laser helmet for shark 3d printer arduino powered UAV thing, but we need to plan for it. Note that access to the site is several hundred metres from the carpark and you will not be able to drive up to the site.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Things prohibited by our contract: balloons, sky lanterns and the like.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Can I leave and re-enter?===&lt;br /&gt;
Your wristband will allow re-admittance, but the site is gated and we will be trying to restrict movements to daylight hours. In reality this is unlikely to be a problem, but please speak to us if you have any special requirements. The farm gate is locked overnight and would require a volunteer to come up to let you out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Please note that it is a condition of our contract that we don't allow you to roam the farm. Apart from anything else, there is likely to be heavy farm machinery in operation. For this reason, the entire event area is fenced off. We can shuttle you to the parking area, from where you may drive off the site or be collected.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Camp Infrastructure==&lt;br /&gt;
===Can I see the camp layout?===&lt;br /&gt;
We're working on this at the moment. Some initial information can be found at: [[Location]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can see the site map at [http://map.emfcamp.org/ map.emfcamp.org]. Please note that this is still in early stages of development; we know it is slow and has bugs, don't worry about reporting them. All layout is still subject to change.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is there parking available?===&lt;br /&gt;
Yes. Parking tickets are on sale with tickets. Please note the car park is not adjacent to the site, but there will be a shuttle. You will not be able to drive up to or onto the site to drop anything off.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you don't yet know whether you will be bringing a car, you can buy your event ticket now and buy a parking ticket at a later date (deadline to be announced, probably early August).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Parking tickets are not required for motorcycles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Can I bring my camper van?===&lt;br /&gt;
We have limited parking for camper vans - you can buy a ticket for £30 through our tickets site. These tickets include a parking ticket for the towing car in the car park.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Will there be Internet access?===&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, we are provisioning onsite high speed wifi and wired access (direct to your tent!), see [[Network]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Can I make a fire, or bring my own BBQ?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Open fire is strictly prohibited except in the main fire pit. Please adhere to this requirement of both the landowner and health and safety.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Barbecues must be used off the ground to reduce fire risk and prevent damaging the ground.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Foraging for wood on the site is not permitted according to the terms of our contract with the landowners. Please bring your own fuel to site.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===I see a lake on the satellite image. Can I do X in it?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The lake and brook are out of bounds by order of the site owner!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What about medical cover?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We will have our our own lovely volunteer first aiders + SJA coverage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Getting Involved==&lt;br /&gt;
===What will I be able to do?===&lt;br /&gt;
We're planning a full line up of speakers and workshops as well as awesome things around the site. We will also be supporting community organised 'villages' and looking for volunteers to help run the event.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is a 'Village'?===&lt;br /&gt;
Villages are camps organised around a theme, it could be anything, but is often a location or a topic (e.g. lock-picking). By organising villages ahead of time we can help provide better equipment (e.g. large tents to use) as well as making sure that they have an area ahead of time. If you want to find out more about villages, join one or see what villages have already been organised check the [[Villages]] page.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===How do I give a talk/run a workshop?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The [https://www.emfcamp.org/cfp Call for Participation] is now open, so if you want to give a talk or run a workshop, please fill in the form soon. We really want a wide variety of topics from as diverse a group of people as we can, so don't be shy! If you've missed the CfP then don't worry, there will be [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightning_talk lightning talk] sessions and villages are welcome to run their own talks and workshops.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Would people be interested in a talk on X?===&lt;br /&gt;
Yes. There are obviously a few caveats on that but they're covered in the [https://www.emfcamp.org/cfp Call for Participation]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===I want to bring/make something awesome, can you help?===&lt;br /&gt;
Hopefully. We have a limited budget to put towards making the camp amazing and we want to share it with those of you who will bring awesome things. At EMF2012 we had a giant hammock, floating LEDs, a wooden dinosaur and 'EMF' written in 5m tall steel letters. If there's something amazing that you'd like to make and bring along but need some help buying materials we'll be opening our submissions process soon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===How do I volunteer?===&lt;br /&gt;
The easiest way is to tick the 'interested in volunteering' box when you buy your ticket (sorry volunteers still need a ticket). If you missed it don't worry you can volunteer at any time by signing in and ticking the box. Once you've signed up to volunteer we'll get in contact with you closer to the time to organise shifts.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

===Welcome to the official wiki for EMF 2014!===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Electromagnetic Field (EMF) is a non-profit UK camping festival for those with an inquisitive mind or an interest in making things: hackers, geeks, scientists, engineers, artists, and crafters.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the summer of 2012 we gathered hundreds of people in a field outside Milton Keynes for three days of talks and workshops covering everything from genetic modification to electronics, blacksmithing to high-energy physics, reverse engineering to lock picking, computer security to crocheting, and quadcopters to beer brewing. To help matters along, we arranged a 380-megabit internet connection, reliable WiFi, and a bar stocked with real ale.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now we're back in 2014 for the next edition: Electromagnetic Field 2014 will take place on the 29-31st of August in Newton Longville, near Milton Keynes!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
TICKETS ARE NOW ON SALE: https://www.emfcamp.org/tickets/choose'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you're interested in giving a talk or running a workshop, the [https://www.emfcamp.org/cfp Call for Participation] is now open.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This wiki is a living, evolving site that anyone can help edit and improve. We're still in the early days, so be sure to check back for more detailed and firm information in the run-up to the event.&lt;br /&gt;

=== I want to help! ===&lt;br /&gt;
EMF is entirely organised and run by a dedicated team of [[Volunteers|volunteers]]. We're looking for people to help with everything from power and networking to driving vans and running the bar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Current status''': A date and location have been picked (29-31st of August in Newton Longville, near Milton Keynes), equipment is being booked, and people are being organised. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The best thing you can do to help us right now, is to buy your ticket as early as possible. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you're interested in helping make EMF happen, please make sure the volunteer box is selected when purchasing your EMF ticket. We will also be taking volunteer sign ups during the festival.

For more planning check out the [[Timeline]] for 2014.&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At each EMF event we try and give our attendees a great camp badge. Not just a 'Hello my name is&amp;quot; sticker but a nice fun piece of technology that they can take away and use after the event. Information about past Badges including TiLDA, SiNE and our next badge can be found [[Badges|here]].&lt;br /&gt;
