SamLR:

If you are planning on driving and have space consider offering a space to a fellow hacker, add a new row below with the time you're planning to leave and arrive, number of available seats.

If you want to bring anything large consider asking first to make sure there is room in the car.

EMF Sci Fi Film

2014-08-19T14:02:30Z

SamLR:

== Let's make a collaborative Sci-Fi film at EMF! ==

The committee have accepted a proposal to make a collaborative Sci-Fi film at EMF!! Rather than get in peoples faces whilst they're enjoying the festival, I thought it would be cool to use the festival as a backdrop and let people who want to join in take part.

[https://vimeo.com/63572559 Here's an example] of the sort of thing I've done before with friends in 48 hours from script writing to final product.
To make this happen I need to find some money to pay the actor and also some how get them up to the event, as well as find a few last items of kit.

Since so much of this film is going to be arranged in a bit of a rush now, I want to make sure we have a great actor available from the outset. [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3359696/ James Sobol Kelly] is on board and dead keen, but I do need to find enough money to make sure he can afford to do this with us.

Some people have already very kindly offered to help out with costs, if you are able to get involved with this please edit the text below to make pledges.

'''Pledges''' (Please edit below if you would like to help make this happen) (To get involved in a non-financial sense, please see [[EMF_Sci_Fi_Film_Production_Coordination]])

"Do we get Executive Producer credits ?" Yes!!:)

* £amount -- [[User:ID|Credited Name]] "Any text you would like against your credit ''(!)'' "
''(!)Right of veto retained. Eg 'The Phantom Menace wasn't that bad' is not an acceptable statement. Ever.''

* £ 50 -- me (Alia)
* £ 50 -- AV
* £ 50 -- Sam Cook "can't sleep, Jonty'll eat me"
* £ 50 -- Tom Bird "Marmots for Culture"
* £ ? -- Will Hargrave
* £ ? -- Fearghas McKay

'''Current Total''' £200 + ?''

Volunteers

2014-06-19T09:24:51Z

SamLR: Added note about signing up via the ticketing process and requiring a ticket.

{{link-banner}}

Don't put your name here unless you really mean it and don't edit other people's words without their permission.

This is a page in addition to signing up to volunteer as part of the ticket buying process. Please make sure that you have bought a ticket and signed up using that method as the emails gathered there will be how we contact everyone.

NOTE: unless you're volunteering as a first aider (and have confirmed ahead of time with the first aid team) you must buy a ticket.

The Shiny team is in charge of helping fund cool stuff around the site. We have a reasonable budget that will be distributed to anyone who has a plan for an awesome thing but who needs help with the cash.

A Call for Participation (CfP) will be going out soon.

If you have a scheme but need a bit of help realising it start planning it now. To make a submission you'll need:

* A realistic proposal.
* A list of what you'll spend the money on (and how much each item will cost).
* A write up of any likely problems

FAQ

SamLR: /* How much does it cost? */

{{link-banner}}
This is a work in progress. Keep checking for updates.

==General==
===Who are you?===
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.

===Who are you (officially)?===
Electromagnetic Field Ltd. is a non-profit company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales with company number 07788466.
Registered office: 2 Ockendon Mews, London N1 3JL

===Why are you doing this?===
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.

We want to change that :)

===Why Milton Keynes?===
We looked at a fair number of candidate sites. The site we ended up with was the best candidate for a number of reasons:
* It comes at a comparably low price (some of the candidate sites we looked at asked for tens of thousands of £££.)
* It has great transport links to much of the UK (both roads and trains.)
* It is close(ish) to a few data centres and high speed Internet uplinks.
* We were there last time and it seemed to work well
Bonus: it is very close to Bletchley Park :)

===How big is it?===

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.

==Ticket Sales==
===How can I get a ticket?===
Tickets are on sale from our web site here:

'''https://www.emfcamp.org/tickets/choose'''

This time there will be no day tickets and camp tickets are likely to sell out in advance.

===How much does it cost?===
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.

If you have a Camper van you will need a Camper van ticket.

If you want to bring a car you'll also need a car parking ticket.

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).

===Can I get a day ticket?===
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.

===Can I get a family ticket?===
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.

===Will I be able to turn up and buy a ticket?===
It is extremely unlikely that any tickets will remain by the time of the event. Watch this space.

===Do volunteers pay for their ticket?===
Everyone is expected to buy a ticket, including people in the organising team and all volunteers.

===Is there an age limit?===
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.

However there are a number of things to bear in mind:
* Everyone under 18 needs to be registered at the Infodesk when they enter the camp. This is a requirement of our event license.
* Children under the age of 14 must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
* There will be dangerous things on site, but they will be clearly marked.
* Licensed alcohol sales are only for people of age 18 and over. Bar staff will ask for ID.

===Can't enter the transaction reference?===
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.

===Do you have a Code of Conduct?===
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.

===What terms and conditions apply to ticket sales and attendance?===
Please see our [https://www.emfcamp.org/pay/terms terms] page.

===Can I pay more? TAKE MY MONEY!===

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.

==Planning your Attendance==
===Where is it? How can I get there?===
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!

===When can I arrive? When do I have to leave by?===
The site will open to ticket holders at 10:00 Friday morning.

All ticket holders must leave the site by 12:00 Monday.

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.

Have a look at our Timeline for an updated summary.

===When do things kick off?===
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.

Talks and workshops run daily through to the evening, although we expect villages will be doing things late into the night!

===What should I bring?===
Please take a look at our [[Packing List]] for information on what you should and shouldn't bring.

===Will there be food?===
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. Details will be posted in due course.

===Will there be a bar?===
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.

The bar on site opening hours are subject to licensing which will be finalised soon.

By the camping areas there will also be push taps of drinking water available for free.

===Can I bring pets?===
Sorry, animals (except guide dogs) are not allowed.

===Can I smoke?===
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.

===Can I bring X/Y/Z?===
tl;dr Probably

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.

Things prohibited by our contract: balloons, sky lanterns and the like.

===Can I leave and re-enter?===
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.

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.

==Camp Infrastructure==
===Can I see the camp layout?===
We're working on this atm. Some initial information can be found at: [[Location]].

===Is there parking available?===
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.

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).

Parking tickets are not required for motorcycles.

===Can I bring my camper van?===
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.

===Will there be Internet access?===
Yes, we are provisioning onsite high speed wifi and wired access (direct to your tent!), see [[Network]].

===Can I make a fire, or bring my own BBQ?===

Open fire is strictly prohibited except in the main fire pit. Please adhere to this requirement of both the landowner and health and safety.

Barbecues must be used off the ground to reduce fire risk and prevent damaging the ground.

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.

===I see a lake on the satellite image. Can I do X in it?===

The lake and brook are out of bounds by order of the site owner!

==Getting Involved==
===What will I be able to do?===
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.

===What is a 'Village'?===
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.

===How do I give a talk/run a workshop?===
We'll (very) soon be opening our Call for Participation ([[CfP]]) so if you want to give a talk or run a workshop keep an eye out for it. 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.

===Would people be interested in a talk on X?===
Yes. There are obviously a few caveats on that but they're covered in the [[CfP]]

===I want to bring/make something awesome, can you help?===
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.

===How do I volunteer?===
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.

SamLR: added list status warning

The biggest issue for EMF is to find a good site.

Organisation of this has moved to [http://trello.com trello], if you'd like to help ask in the [[IRC]] channel and we'll get you access. At the moment we're [[Site_Search_Email|emailing]] sites, getting quotes and arranging site-visits.

'''Note''' this list is not being actively maintained; the canonical list is maintained on trello, please refer to that

=Requirements=
# Site
## At least 50,000 sq m (this should fit at least 1500 people but this isn't indicative of our planned capacity)
## Available for around 11 days (including a weekend) between mid-July and mid-September 2014
## Pleasant enough you actually want to spend time there
## Previous event history at site
# Access and Location
## Good access for setup vehicles (no low bridges, for example)
## Good transport links (proximity to public transport)
## Located centrally to the UK
## Near largish shops (e.g. large Tesco)
# Facilities
## Ability to get a good internet connection (1 gigabit+) (but please let us know of any potential sites - NOC team can work this out)
## Some kind of water supply/sewage connection
## Well drained
## Space for parking

We don't care about:
* Most existing facilities (especially electricity). Providing them ourselves is frequently easier than trying to deal with existing services, so they're not a major consideration.

|-
| [http://eventcentre.co.uk/organisers Yorkshire Event Centre, Harrogate]
|
| Site of the Great Yorkshire Show which has massive farm equipment so access is probably fine. Has event spaces, big outside areas, loads of parking. Sainsburys effectively on site. From memory, drainage is OK.
|-
| Turnpost Farm, Leicestershire
|
| Location of Glastonbudget. About 4 miles from Loughborough. Not sure of parking and amenities, but Glastonbudget has about 12,000 people so likely to be plenty of space if we can use some of that as car park
|-

This is a copy of the standard email we're using to contact prospective sites. Each site is being liaised with by a single person to keep things clear

If you contact a site please update the trello board so we know what's going on. If you don't have access to the board please ask.
==The Email==
Dear <site owner name>,

I'm writing to enquire about availability of your site to run an event in summer 2014. I'm one of the organisers of Electromagnetic Field - a greenfield camping technology festival. We ran a very successful event in 2012 and we're now looking for sites for our next event.

We're planning a licensed 3-day weekend event between July and September 2014 (plus around two weeks for setup and teardown), with space for up to 1,500 attendees to camp plus parking.

If this is something you'd be interested in hosting we'd love to hear back from you and arrange a site visit.

If you have any questions regarding our inquiry, don't hesitate to mail back or call me on <your number>.

Yours,

<your name>

Site Search

2013-07-05T09:15:37Z

SamLR: Added some info on current status

The biggest issue for EMF is to find a good site.

Organisation of this has moved to [http://trello.com trello], if you'd like to help ask in the [[IRC]] channel and we'll get you access. At the moment we're [[Site_Search_Email|emailing]] sites, getting quotes and arranging site-visits.

=Requirements=
# Site
## At least 50,000 sq m (this should fit at least 1500 people but this isn't indicative of our planned capacity)
## Available for around 11 days (including a weekend) between mid-July and mid-September 2014
## Pleasant enough you actually want to spend time there
## Previous event history at site
# Access and Location
## Good access for setup vehicles (no low bridges, for example)
## Good transport links (proximity to public transport)
## Located centrally to the UK
## Near largish shops (e.g. large Tesco)
# Facilities
## Ability to get a good internet connection (1 gigabit+) (but please let us know of any potential sites - NOC team can work this out)
## Some kind of water supply/sewage connection
## Well drained
## Space for parking

We don't care about:
* Most existing facilities (especially electricity). Providing them ourselves is frequently easier than trying to deal with existing services, so they're not a major consideration.

|-
| [http://eventcentre.co.uk/organisers Yorkshire Event Centre, Harrogate]

| Site of the Great Yorkshire Show which has massive farm equipment so access is probably fine. Has event spaces, big outside areas, loads of parking. Sainsburys effectively on site. From memory, drainage is OK.
|-
| Turnpost Farm, Leicestershire
|
| Location of Glastonbudget. About 4 miles from Loughborough. Not sure of parking and amenities, but Glastonbudget has about 12,000 people so likely to be plenty of space if we can use some of that as car park
|-

The biggest issue for EMF is to find a good site. Here are our requirements, in order of priority:

* At least 3-8 hectares/8-15 acres/30,000-60,000 sq m (this should fit at least 1500 people but this isn't indicative of our planned capacity)
* Good access for setup vehicles (no low bridges, for example)
* Ability to get a good internet connection (1 gigabit+) (but please let us know of any potential sites and we can work this out)
* Pleasant enough you actually want to spend time there
* Some kind of water supply/sewage connection
* Good transport links
* Located centrally to the UK
* Well drained
* Space for parking
* Near largish shops (e.g. large Tesco)

* Most existing facilities (especially electricity). Providing them ourselves is likely to be easier than trying to deal with existing services.
