We now have a floor of a local scout hut to sleep on for anyone wanting to stay overnight. Full details to follow.

Yes Dom, you and Cristiano were great doormen ( http://www.flickr.com/photos/rugbymadgirl/3398266361/ ) and lot’s of experience( http://www.flickr.com/photos/rugbymadgirl/3399078226/ ), but we have Dug on the door so you can relax and enjoy the BarCamp.

There is an almost unanimous vote for option 2, so option 2 it is. We have now finalised details with the venue and are now working on the pace to rest our heads.

I’m not one of the seven but my preference would be #2, #3 and then #1.

When are you aiming to make a decision by?

A good question. A BarCamp traditionally continues through the night and people who want to stay over bring a sleeping bag. Some sessions continue later on, there are often a few people who get together and do some coding. Most people play various games until a stupid time in the morning, and generally we tend to socialise until we fall asleep. From a practical point of view it means participants don’t need to find somewhere to stay, but it also generates a really good friendly atmosphere.

TBH I had no idea it was meant to be an overnight event!! This is my first BarCamp so I have no idea what to expect. I thought it was over 2 days but not an actual overnight event. Can you maybe elaborate on what to expect?
