>What is a Barn Camp?
>
>
>
>Well we just made it up cos it sounds cool. But
>the name has it's roots in the
><http://barcamp.org/BarnCamp-2010>Bar Camp
>concept. What is a Bar Camp? Well, if you visit
><http://www.barcamp.org/>http://www.barcamp.org, it'll tell you that it:
> * is an ad-hoc gathering born from the
> desire for people to share and learn in an open environment.
> * is an intense event with discussions,
> demos and interaction from participants who are the main actors of the event.
>
>So, it's the same - only it's happening in a
>Barn - yes a real Barn - on a farm. No shit.
>Well apart from ... you know. Anyway the focus
>is on a healthy take on technology, both new
>media and alternative, with a mix of free
>software, alternative use of technology for
>activism and general fun in the sun workshops so
>it probably won't be that intense, sorry! If
>that sounds good then get in touch with one of
>the organisers at barncamp [at] hacktivista [dot] net.

>This year marks the third BarnCamp convergence
>at
><http://hacktivista.net/hacktionlab/index.php/Highbury_Farm>Highbury
>Farm in the Wye Valley (Wales) where people
>interested and/or working in the areas of
>alternative media, renewable energy, on-line
>video distribution, free software and any other
>form of activism that utilises technology came
>together to share and discuss. Based on feedback
>from the previous years, we are deliberately
>making this year's camp less geeky than the
>previous years by having a more open range of
>workshops and open space sessions. Check-out
>what we got up to in
><http://hacktivista.net/hacktionlab/index.php/HacktionLab_2008/01>2008
>and <http://hacktivista.net/hacktionlab/index.php/HacktionLab_2009/01>2009.
>
>The original idea for the gathering came from a
>number of years of experience gained by
>activists working for organisations such as
>Indymedia and includes specific experience from
>involvement in the Horizone Eco-Village in
>Stirling (2005), the Camps for Climate Action in
>Drax (2006), Heathrow (2007) and Kingsnorth
>(2008) as well as the No Borders camp at Gatwick (2007).
