Villages

Home :: Talks :: Photos, etc. :: Villages :: Teams :: Interests :: Contact :: FAQ

The camping area at EMF are divided into villages: groups of people camping together, often because of a common interest. Some villages are big, some are small. Many villages organise their own events, workshops or talks.

There is a list of the villages below. Go ahead and join one that you'd like to be part of. Or if there isn't one about your biggest interest, start a new village and people can join you.

If you have any questions about villages, or you're planning to bring something especially big or in need of power to your village, drop an email to [mailto:[email address removed] [email address removed]], or drop into our IRC channel.
