Evolution of the Workshop Timetable
The timetable for BarnCamp is a collaborative, iterative process. Here's the evolution of 2015's timetable over Friday, Saturday and Sunday:
Access
BarnCamp takes place on a beautiful site, but it is a farm on a steep hill, and accessibility can be an issue, so please read our Notes for people with limited mobility or health problems before you consider coming.
Safer Spaces
BarnCamp should be a safe space to all, please read our safe spaces policy.
Previous BarnCamps
There have been five BarnCamps so far:
BarnCamp 2015 - the sixth BarnCamp took place between 17th and 21st June 2015 in the Wye Valley. Check out the BarnCamp 2015 page for links to what happened, workshops that took place, notes that were taken, and media produced around the event.
BarnCamp 2013 - the fifth BarnCamp took place between 5 - 7 June 2013 in the Wye Valley. Check out the Barncamp 2013 Media Page to find out what happened. Here's some further documentation from the event:
- BarnCamp 2013 organising : task list, includes equipment.
- BarnCamp 2013 roles : review of roles ideally needed to run a BarnCamp.
- BarnCamp 2013 ideas scratchpad : workshop proposals and other ideas used to get 2013's BarnCamp together.
BarnCamp 2011 - the fourth edition of our summer outing took place between 9 - 12 June 2011 in the Wye Valley. We built upon the success of the previous year, keeping the tech turned down, but also consolidating some of the new projects that hacktionlabbers are involved in, such as Be The Media and Network23.org. This year incorporated more off-grid technology with a repeat of the Wild Food Walk, a workshop of knot making and tools for open collaboration. Here's some photos from the event.
BarnCamp 2010 - the third edition of our summer outing took place between 11 - 13 June 2010 in the Wye Valley. Retitled BarnCamp we focused on a turning down the tech to make it an event accessible to all with workshops including how to forage for food, how to make a slingshot and the ubiquitous how to encrypt your life. Photos, video and audio from BarnCamp 2010.
BarnCamp 2009 took place between 11 - 14 June 2009 in the Wye Valley on the Wales - England border.
BarnCamp 2008 took place between 13 - 15 June 2008, click here to view a slide-show of photos from the weekend. There are more photos posted here (now missing) and this exciting short video too (also now missing).
