* If you took part in the Meditation for Hackers workshop, please [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScl1m-X4BqU-2KXDPCzAD3zKKwAkErCeaMy6vGfXZ86_R9ayA/viewform post feedback here].

* Please make sure that next time there are video up/downscalers available for speaker/presenter hookups. I had to skip parts of my talk because the video team only supported a single resolution through HDMI. My laptop could output 50 different resolutions, but not the required specific one. Luckily a volunteer offered her laptop to move the talk to , but all the simulation stuff that was part of the talk could not be reinstalled at a strangers laptop at a moments notice. I routinely present at conferences all over the world and the only place I ever had video hookup issues was at EMF ;) [[User:Gori]]

* MicroPython is great. I'm very very happy. [[User:MScroggs|MScroggs]] ([[User talk:MScroggs|talk]]) 10:49, 9 August 2016 (BST)

* This was incredible, and a really great incentive to volunteer. [[User:MScroggs|MScroggs]] ([[User talk:MScroggs|talk]]) 11:19, 9 August 2016 (BST)
*: Seconded, it was fantastic. Staff took very good care of volunteers working in the sun with regular water drops. [[User:DomCleal|DomCleal]] ([[User talk:DomCleal|talk]]) 11:39, 9 August 2016 (BST)

* Pizza was great. [[User:MScroggs|MScroggs]] ([[User talk:MScroggs|talk]]) 11:19, 9 August 2016 (BST)
* Queues were not bad. [[User:MScroggs|MScroggs]] ([[User talk:MScroggs|talk]]) 11:19, 9 August 2016 (BST)
* Pity about the shop, it would have been super-useful. The one at beautiful days is done by http://www.talatonparishcouncil.co.uk/Core/Talaton-TC/Pages/Village_Shop_1.aspx and presumably will have been a good fund-raiser for them, I'm not sure how common this type of operation is around the country, but there might be a similar operation near some sites, might be worth looking into. [[User:Sthen|Sthen]] ([[User talk:Sthen|talk]]) 17:12, 9 August 2016 (BST)
* Next time I would demand that vendors use some onlien and offline ordering/payment system that prevents people from standing in the qeue just to place an order. The pizza guys did great on that.--[[User:Gori|Gori]] ([[User talk:Gori|talk]]) 21:56, 9 August 2016 (BST)

==Showers==
* '''These were yet again amazing'''

==Toilets==
* These were significantly better than chemical portaloos. Urinals were not great though; lots of splashback and leaks; quite a puddle in the entrance of the ones on the NE towards the end. Could have done with better lighting and the grid steps weren't ideal. (The best event toilets I've used were at shambala and done by thunderboxes2go - wooden stalls with leds and flowers and very attentive to cleaning, straw bale urinals, no wheely bin management as they use big sealable tanks instead - they also have accessible compost loos). [[User:Sthen|Sthen]] ([[User talk:Sthen|talk]]) 17:12, 9 August 2016 (BST)

==Other==
* I really enjoyed volunteering, EMF staff, CCC staff and other volunteers were friendly and supportive throughout the weekend. [[User:DomCleal|DomCleal]] ([[User talk:DomCleal|talk]]) 11:39, 9 August 2016 (BST)
* The blackout tents, projectors and sound rigs were awesome and well worthwhile, just in need of a slightly less noise-sensitive neighbour ;) [[User:Sthen|Sthen]] ([[User talk:Sthen|talk]]) 17:12, 9 August 2016 (BST)
* Film festival was great. [[User:Sthen|Sthen]] ([[User talk:Sthen|talk]]) 17:12, 9 August 2016 (BST)
* Electric vehicle power is becoming an issue, when working at the entrance we didn't really have an option other than escorting them onto the camper van section of site in reach of a dk so they'd have enough power to leave. [[User:Sthen|Sthen]] ([[User talk:Sthen|talk]]) 17:12, 9 August 2016 (BST)
* I think everything that was a guest-visible problem at 2014 was addressed. No issue at 2016 seemed anything worse than minor (the worst thing was probably the...err...boundary-pushing music policy at camp holland), and nothing that detracted from it being a great thing overall. 12/10 would EMF again.

Packing List

2016-08-02T07:31:22Z

Gori: /* Useful things to bring */

__NOTOC__
{{link-banner}}
This is an incomplete list and only a suggestion!

== Vital stuff ==
* Tent (or space in someone else's)
* Bedding - a sleeping bag and a pillow, plus extra blankets in case it is cold
* Clean clothes
* A towel (we have showers!)
* Shower gel, shampoo, soap, toothbrush, etc.
* Torch. The site will be well lit but there will be darker bits (e.g. inside your tent)
* Food and/or money for food (the bar will do cashback if you need more money)
* Walking boots or wellies (the site is a field, good shoes are a must)
* Water proofs. This is the UK: we do wet.
* Warm clothing, for evenings and sleeping in if it gets cold
* Rucksack (or similar) for carrying valuables about with you (tents are NOT secure & we cannot guarantee things will be safe anywhere on site)
* Medicines, hayfever tablets (you will be surrounded by hay bales all day)
* Sun cream and/or a sun hat
* Your EMF ticket (printed or saved on your phone)

== Useful things to bring ==
* A 20-30m power lead. If you can, a 16A plug on the end is useful.
* A long (as long as the power lead) ethernet cable to connect your tent (although we have WiFi as well).
* Computer, both for personal use and many of our workshops will use them
* Charging gear (for phones, laptops etc.)
* Europe to UK plug adaptors (if you have non-UK equipment)
* Making gear (for any/all of your hobbies)
* Mug, useful for food & drink (when not got from vendors)
* Tape, gaffer, LX, what ever, always useful for fixing things wot break (like tents)
* Pen and paper
* A water bottle and/or mug
* Bin bags (for rubbish and dirty clothes)
* A few gold and silver space blankets and clothes pins to cover your tent and prevent it from turning into an oven in the morning sun

== Advice for villages/large groups ==
* A small camping kettle may come in handy (larger kettles require care). We have food and drink vendors on site.
* A camping stove shouldn't be needed, but will be permitted as long as it's off the ground.
* A network switch may reduce the amount of network cabling required but please inform [[Team:NOC|NOC]] you have a switch. Wireless access points are not allowed.
* The switches in the DK's won't all do 10Mbit, so if you need 10Mbit connectivity (e.g. for old or embedded things) please bring a switch.
* A mini fridge may be useful for storing milk

== Things to avoid if possible ==
* Glass bottles: broken glass is a pain to clean up.
* Being on fire.
