OggCamp is a free software / free culture unconference organised by the presenters of the Ubuntu UK Podcast and Linux Outlaws. This year's OggCamp will take place at The Black-E in Liverpool on the 1st and 2nd of May. The event will run approximately 10am - 5pm each day.

Entrance to OggCamp10 is free and no tickets are required. If you want to get a feel for the event, have a look at our recap of the first OggCamp in 2009.

More formal conferences have the usual people speaking every time; an unconference is an opportunity to interact with new and interesting people. You are guaranteed to learn something, but we have no idea what! At an unconference there won't be a published list of speakers before the event. Watch this site though, and we might publish names of people who have said they're planning on turning up and giving a talk. And that can include you!

Please add your own ideas for talks and things to do on the day to our ideas wiki – help make the event what you want it to be!

Ogg Vorbis is a completely open, patent-free, professional audio encoding and streaming technology with all the benefits of Open Source. Both podcasts involved in the event release Ogg versions, along with Mp3. OggCamp is about technology, open source and freedom, but also music, art, politics, community and creativity. We chose to use the term Ogg in the name because for us it reflects all these things pretty neatly.

The venue has a large capacity and we're not worried about overcrowding. There are no tickets and there is no charge either to enter or take part. Just come along and see us. All are welcome!

We really regret to announce that direct wheelchair access to the main stage is now unavailable. There has been a problem with the lifts at the venue. All other stages are easily accessible via ramps and lifts, but getting to the main stage will involve assistance from the crew which we are happy to do. This goes directly against our policy of including absolutely everyone and we're truly sorry for that, it's beyond our control :(

OggCamp 10 is preceded by a special free culture gig in Liverpool on April 30th (the night before) which is being organised in conjunction with the main event. It'll be at the Bad Format Social Club in town. Kick off the weekend in style with live music from David Rovics, Attila The Stockbroker and Rathole Radio host (and Linux Outlaw) Dan Lynch. See the Rathole Radio website for more details – please buy tickets in advance now!

They should enjoy OggCamp!! …ok we realise it may not suit everyone. There's loads else to do in Liverpool and they certainly won't be bored over the weekend, check out Liverpool 360 for more info.
