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.

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!

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, community and creativity. We chose to use the term Ogg in the name because for us it reflects all these things neatly.

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 – tickets are now on sale!
