[hackerspaces] Final call for proposals for HaxoGreen 2012

[David Raison]

Good day,

This serves as a final call for proposals for HaxoGreen summer-camp
2012. The submission system will close on May 15th around midnight. Make
sure to submit before that happens ;)

We have worked hard to ensure media coverage in several newspapers,
radio stations, both announcing and reviewing the camp. More tents, more
music, a bookshop, several sponsors and community partners will ensure
that this year's edition of HaxoGreen will totally surpass the 2010
edition in awesomeness. You should totally not miss this opportunity.

Here for the original Call for Proposals:

-----------------------------

After more than 80 satisfied campers in 2010 [0], the long awaited
third iteration of HaxoGreen, in its 2012 edition is finally here! After
a very successful start into the forays of international hackcamps and
hackerfests, hackerspaces and hackerspace-folks from all over Europe and
beyond will meet for an informal exchange of knowledge on the this third
iteration of our 4-day outdoors summer-camp.

Still cosy at a maximum of 140 people, still at the same perfect setting
that offers commodities for shopping, outdoors for camping and areas
filled to the brink with adventure and history [1,2] at the same
time. The camp will take place from Thursday, July 26th till Sunday,
July 29th and be bristling with geeks and their innovative ideas.

Talks, workshops, live music in the evenings, geocaching, fresh food and
most of all very interesting people make this an event that is not to be
missed.

Whether you're hacking on your project, looking for new and exciting
ideas or just craving to share 3 midsummer nights outdoors, socialising
with other hackers, artists and geeks, HaxoGreen is the place to be.
No need to be a 1337 H4X0r, we welcome all inquisitive people from
around the globe.

The camp is organized by syn2cat a.s.b.l. [3], the association that
brought you the Luxembourgian hackerspace. We appreciate your
participation, be it by holding a lecture, tutoring a workshop or
presenting your projects and ideas during a 10 min lightning talk.

== LOCATION ==
The camp is located at the scouts' grounds near the city of Dudelange in
the southern region of Luxembourg.
The camping ground features adequate restrooms and shower facilities.
Indoor rooms for lectures and workshops are also available.
The nearby town of Dudelange, near the borders to France and Germany,
offers access to shops and markets for all of your grocery needs.

== SUGGESTED PRESENTATION AND WORKSHOP TOPICS ==
Participate with your lectures, panel discussions, workshops, or
lightning talks. (Though you can give a lightning talk without
submitting its topic.) Your lectures and workshops don't have to be
centered on or limited to technology. Lectures with a background in
society, community, science and art are welcome as well.
