Fwd: OggCamp 2026

[Steven Maddox]

Just circling this round the other local tech/digital-rights groups in case anyone didn't know about Oggcamp this year (since they skipped last year!).  Some of us in the LUG will be going.

Lo!

Just giving you all a heads up in case you didn't know... Oggcamp is back for this year!

(they skipped last year... some of us in the LUG went in 2024 & 2019 though)

https://www.oggcamp.org/

It's a 2 day event on the weekend of April 25th and 26th at the Pendulum Hotel in Manchester (same venue as the last two times)... which is only a short walk from the train station in Manchester.

Usually people make their own way up by just hopping on a train at Stoke station which are very regular... and it's a good opportunity to take in some interesting talks and it's highly recommended.

We don't get a lot of things like this which happen so close to us!  Usually you have to go much further south (e.g. London) or even Brussels (e.g. like FOSDEM which is happening today and tomorrow actually!.. although there are some people in the LUG interested in doing that next year with cheap flights... let me know if that interests you too)

So don't miss your chance, you'll be in good company if you do come with plenty of familiar faces.

Hope to see you there!

Oh... and your ticket (buy them online) covers you for both days... but people in the LUG just seem to normally go on the first day only... it's up to you.  Actually this year I'll be stopping overnight in the hotel itself (it's half price if you use the code DELEGATE) and doing the second day too.  Alternatively it's not exactly difficult to get another very short and cheap train the next day.

I'll try and remember to send another reminder closer to... but don't wait too long to get your tickets!
