Hi All,
Last year's OSHCamp was something of an experiment — hosting it as part of Wuthering Bytes — and based on how the event went overall and feedback, we've decided to do something a bit different this year.
The idea is that OSHCamp will still be hosted as part of Wuthering Bytes, but that the latter will become more of a festival comprised of a series of events:
* OSHCamp will have the Waterfront Hall to itself on the Saturday (10x talks) and Sunday (workshops).
* On the Friday there will be a day of talks in the Waterfront Hall on a much broader range of topics (think of the non-OSHUG and crossover talks from WB 2013), with accompanying workshops upstairs in The Space on the Saturday.
* Main social event Friday evening.
* A number of smaller/fringe events in the week leading up.
The dates we are looking at are:
August 15/16/17 September 19/20/21
And ideally we need to decide on August or September ASAP.
So, any preferences? Improved chances of better weather in August, but obviously a lot of people go away on holiday. Which may not be a bad thing, if you want to take a break in Hebden Bridge :o)
Best,
Andrew

I think events in August are a non-starter. It's the month everyone goes away with their family.
Best wishes,

Oh :o( I'm afraid that's when it's fixed for now.

With respect Jeremy not everyone does, and for me it is generally a better time. Accommodation could be more tricky but please can we seriously consider it not just dismiss it out of hand.
