FSCONS 2015

Sat, 07 Nov 2015 00:00:00 +0000

The Free Society Conference and Nordic Summit (FSCONS) is a meeting place for social change, focused on the intersection between technology, culture and society. FSCONS is organised according to the principles laid out in ourManifesto, a living document accepted by the society’s members at the yearly meeting.

The conference brings together people from a wide range of fields, and merges the technical with the social, seeking both to activate and challenge. Open discussion and brainstorming are as important as the talks given during the conference.

Mozilla Festival

Fri, 06 Nov 2015 00:00:00 +0000

MozFest is an annual festival where hundreds of passionate people gather to wield the Web for good. We create, teach and learn as a community in order to make the world a better place. Guiding the festival is Mozilla’s core learning vision: learning should be hands-on, immersive, and done collectively. MozFest can feel chaotic, but everyone is open, friendly and eager to help.

Participants of all ages and skill levels are welcome. We believe that everyone has something to contribute. Youth especially are encouraged to come

and lead sessions — we’re dedicated to mentoring and celebrating tomorrow’s leaders. For the very young, on-site daycare and activities are provided.

MozFest runs for three days and kicks off Friday evening with the Science Fair, where participants demo new, exciting projects that improve the Web. Sessions run throughout Saturday and Sunday, and are accompanied by hacking and good coffee. There’s a party Saturday night, and Sunday evening features a closing demo where we showcase what we created together.

OggCamp 15 is once again taking place at the LJMU John Lennon Art & Design Building in Liverpool. Our venue is right next to the Metropolitan Cathedral (the huge building that looks like the cooling tower from the Aliens movie) and can be reached within ten walking minutes from Liverpool Lime Street Stationwhich is the end point for many national railway connections.

The full postal address is: LJMU Art & Design Academy, Duckinfield Street, Liverpool, L3 5RB, United Kingdom

There will be WiFi throughout the venue. If you have an eduroam account, you are welcome to use that, otherwise a guest log-in will be provided. You may find that it struggles at the start of the day when everyone tries to log in and propose a talk at once – please be patient, it will recover.

Below is a map with highlights of the important locations for OggCamp 15. A bigger map is also available.
