There’s loads of room, so go crazy!</p> <h3>Don’t forget</h3> <p> As well as a sleeping bag and something comfy to sleep on (<em>did I mention how uncomfortable and cold the floorboards are?</em>) you’ll want to bring; your laptop and its power adaptor. Probably a 4-way (or moreway) powerblock and a VGA adaptor to connect your laptop to our projectors and screens. Please don’t just hope someone else will bring one along – there are at least four different kinds of Apple mini-DVI to VGA now, so the likelihood is that the one that someone else has, won’t fit your laptop.</p> <h3>Not only but also</h3> <p> So sleeping bag? <em>Check!</em> Something comfy like a bedroll or beanbag or inflatable mattress or lilo to sleep on? <em>Check!</em> Perhaps the pop-up inner of a tent? <em>Check!</em> Laptop, power adaptor, 4-way power block, VGA connector? <em>Check!</em> That just leaves your talk. Or discussion. Or other scheduled participatory form of interaction with our attendees. </p> <p>As the ‘Mericans put it, “No tourists!”. Everyone attending BarCamp is expected to do a 30 minute slot about absolutely anything you find interesting, and think others might too. </p> <p>We’ve had talks on architecture, robot building, social hacking, rock climbing, tea making and many, many other topics.

There are some NCPs, but they’ll be expensive. The station car-park is also quite pricey for 24 hours (not sure if they do a 48hr tariff). Most of central Brighton is residents-only parking.

BarCamps are fun! They’re social! You’ll meet a whole raft of interesting people and hear a lot of really great talks. The central prop of any BarCamp is the social interaction; so don’t worry about your talk not being polished enough, or that you don’t necessarily know anyone.
