This year I went for the first time to EMF camp. I have been to the Dutch camps and some German CCC camps. I immediately felt at home in these surroundings. Although all these camps are very similar in the setup I noticed some differences with the EMF Camp. There was more to see like technical art installations, I suspect as they were more stimulated by the EFM organization. Another difference I noted is that the talks were more focused on the maker aspect of the hacker community (which is a good thing IMHO).
It was very nice to visit the EMF, but I am not sure if I go again for the next edition. It’s a long journey to travel to, and we couldn’t bring as much as we normally do.
