Sneakernet

Sneakernet provides a volunteer-run postal service to the EMF campsite. Use the postboxes dotted around the site to send a postcard to anyone on site or to the outside world!

Delivery is best effort and not guaranteed. Messages are unencrypted and may be read by carriers. All communications sent through Sneakernet must follow the Electromagnetic Field Code of Conduct.

Sending a postcard

To the campsite

When addressing postcards to a specific person, it is helpful to include some way of tracking them down, such as an internal phone number, village, etc.

For villages listed on the map, a village name is good enough. For villages not yet listed on the map, please include as much information as you can on where to find the village.

You can also send a postcard to non-specific person, such as ‘person with cool hair’, ‘a volunteer’. We'll do our best to find a suitable recipient.

To the outside world

Postcards addressed to outside the camp require a stamp. Stamps for both UK and international postage can be purchased from the shop.

To the future

Thanks to innovations in flux capacitance, postcards can also be sent to future occurrences of Electromagnetic Field. Remember to think ahead to what we might need in order to find your recipient in the future!

Sending a fax

In collaboration with CuTel, you can send a fax to anyone on the campsite.

Follow the instructions on the CuTel wiki to send a Telemessage!
