[1]OHM2013 – July 31st – August 4th – Geestmerambacht, NL

In case you missed the presentation this weekend, at the closing of the eth0:2012 summer event, the date and location for OHM2013 (the next edition in the series of four-yearly Dutch hacker camps) have been announced:

July 31st – August 4th 2013 [2]Geestmerambacht The Netherlands

After considering other events, the weather statistics and consulting Eris, The Flying Spaghetti monster, Bob and the Master Control Program it has been observed that for OHM2013, July 31st – August 4th is most optimal. Also, on august 3th 2013 it will be 55 years ago that the first telegrams were sent over the transatlantic telegraph cable. Now, 5 has 3 segments (2 lines and a curve). 5+5 = 10, add the 3 and you get 13 which is the 13 in 2013. This can not be a coincidence and should be seen as indication that the date is optimal.

Calling on all hackerspaces

With that out of the way, preparation of OHM2013 switches into third gear. Now might be a good moment to have a look at [3]the teams on the wiki, and see if you have some skills (or want to learn some skills) that fit well within one of the teams.

[4]HAR2009 (the previous edition of this series of 4-yearly events) has without a doubt been the epicenter from which a tsunami of hackerspaces [5]spread out over The Netherlands. Within these hackerspaces, many interesting projects run and skills are developed. With specializations ranging from the mechanical to micro-electronics, from stage-lighting and audio to painting and what have you hackerspaces together can cover anything required to make OHM2013 even more enjoyable than HAR2009. Time to close the circle: hackerspaces of the nation, join your forces to create a place-time of wonder!

Timeline

Just to refresh and update, here is the global timeline for some of the more milestone-like moments envisioned in the year ahead:

* October 2012 – Call for Participation announced; * December 2012 – ticket shop opens; * February 2013 – public field-day; * August 2013 – OHM.
