We're pleased to announce that the Autumn edition of HacktionLab tech gathering will be taking place in Bradford at the 1 in 12 Club sometime in October or November 2010 (exact dates to be confirmed).

If you're interested in coming and/or wish to get involved in the next HacktionLab or future gatherings get in touch via the mailing list.

Agenda ideas

Note: these are by no means fixed!! They are just what has been skimmed off various emails on the list.

  1. How to run a local activist radio station using free software: a workshop to cover a simple, low-cost audio set-up and streaming software, including using Icecast, Darkice, Ices2 and (the not so free) NiceCast. Recording and monitoring your streams using Ardour.
  2. Preliminary ideas and proposals for Summer 2011 BarnCamp(s).

Suggested timetable

This is a draft timetable. If you don't like it, change it! However, I thought it was better to have some kind of structure within which to work. A couple of points to note are that: workshops are 1 1/4 hours (75 minutes); they can take up two slots - with a break in the middle; and, there are lots of breaks! This is to allow for socialising, networking, and over-running workshops!
