I gave my Super 8 digital talk at #emf2024 and encountered quite a group of like minded old camera enthusiasts.

The idea formed in the Q&A after the talk that a camera hacking village would be a cool idea at a future EMF. I'm unable to organise it because other commitments, but I am putting it out here.

At a guess, a workshop area and a darkroom (subject to water supply). Make it sew.

Can I make a suggestion? How about if people going to #EMFcamp have a non-volatile #EMFnamebadge?

The event badge is a thing of beauty, but its display is small and it needs to be powered on to see the name.

Can I suggest people have something that's large enough to read, and which doesn't need batteries? One of the e-ink badges for example, or just a big bit of card with your name written in marker pen.

I know I'm not alone in having a poor memory for names and faces.

It occurs to me that a bunch of people I know online will be at EMF and it would be nice to have a pint with them.

Can this be arranged?

Now. I am a 6'7" trans woman and thus lots of people recognise me, but I have a shit memory for names and faces. I think I am not alone in that.

The sight of a bunch of geeks all with large name badges will be funny.

The sad thing about this election is that Labour have moved so close to the Conservative Party that I honestly see very little difference.

As a trans person I see a Labour front and back bench stuffed with terfs, and see business as usual.

Everybody talks about all conceivable environmental impacts of new motor vehicles, except their longevity.
