Food won't be provided, we'll be looking at going our for a cheap meal on sat night and relying on sandwich and fallafel shops.
Cost will be limited to covering the cost of venue/s and transport for infrastructure. Estimated at £10 for 2 days.
Accommodation will be attempted at being provided - a fair degree of notice would be good to sort this out for you - please get in touch if you can help find accommodation in Manchester.
The event is open to all but you should be interested in working on grassroots internet projects. Specifically anonymous blogs, internet radio, and a multi-media aggregation news website.
