[[File:hxx_lounge.jpg|right|400px]]

The Lounge is a space thats featured heavily at previous european hacker festivals, a place for people to relax away from the activity of villages, talks and workshops.<br>

At EMF we'll have a 144m2 tent dedicated to it. It will be furnished with a carpet, tables, lamps and beanbags to give the feeling of a cosy and relaxed atmoshpere, a little bit like a living room of friends. The Lounge team will be going all out to make it as nautical themed as possible with nets, sails, ropes and all manner of nautical themed paraphernalia.<br>

We'll have two installations for you to play with. A RGB spherical dome masquerading as an giant octopus and a 30x30 pixel screen you can tweet at to display images.<br> Simply follow [http://www.twitter.com/emfleds @emfleds] on twitter. Send a message with @emfleds and a 30x30 image and it will magically appear on our pixel screen.

Whilst supported by relaxing music, the visitors of the lounge can slowly unwind; its also a place meet up and chat, without the distractions of the main festival. After a well deserved pause, the combination of so many interesting people in a small area always ensures interesting conversation topics, light discussions or brainstorms about new projects. <br>

We'll be open 24/7 during the festival and will provide power and internet for people to use inside. So feel free to come along, take off your shoes and relax.

A space of the same ilk that was at [http://a1.img.mobypicture.com/b1545c4f0806ec04fda2edfbeeaa32d8_large.jpg OHM2013] ([http://www.korrupt.biz/wp-content/uploads/ohm2013-d1-05-lounge.jpg alt]) and the [http://jildsma.nl/media/hx2/snachts.jpg HXX] tent that was at the previous CCC Camp.
= Rules =

* Obey the rules of EMF Camp
* No shoes on the carpet

There are a number of roles that will need to be filled during the festival. We're still working on the software for assigning volunteer roles/shifts but below is an outline of what each role will involve to help you decide which teams you would like to sign up for.

There will also be a sign-up sheet in the Volunteer/Info tent during the festival with details of the roles that still need to be filled, so if you find yourself with a spare few minutes do pop over and see what's available

For workshops with under-8s, parents/carers will be required to be present, so you won't be directly responsible for very young kids.
|
* Anyone DBS-checked within the past 3 years is of particular interest to the team, and it would be useful if you could please have your DBS certificates (physical or electronic copy) handy when you meet the team on site.
* Not all the volunteers need to be DBS checked to help with this team, so if you feel you can be of help do please sign up!



|-
|
