Re: Open Source Hardware Camp 2026 CFP — Sat 29/08 & Sun 30/08, Hebden Bridge.

Lo,
Just a quick poll to see if anyone would be interested in attending this
in August?
Tickets I don't think have yet gone on sale... and I can't seem to find
any website for it just yet... but I do remember these running in
previous years (they're probably still finding people to do
presentations and then they'll announce).
It's up in Hebden Bridge (near Halifax... west of Bradford/Leeds and
north/east of Manchester)
It'd basically be 2 trains (one up to Manchester, then get to the OTHER
station in Manchester... then over to Hebden Bridge... about 2 hours
total) or 1.45 hour drive.

Hello,
Please find details below of the call for participation for Open Source
Hardware Camp 2026, which will mark 15 years since the very first
OSHCamp was held at C4CC in London.
Tickets are not on sale yet, but these will be £12/day and this includes
lunch, plus tea/coffee. Those presenting and running workshops will
receive free tickets.
Budget accommodation is available at Hebden Bridge IOU Hostel, which
adjoins the venue, and there are plenty of B&Bs, plus a number of small
hotels in the area.
Any questions don't hesitate to get in touch!
Cheers,
Andy Bennett
