    Oggcamp 10

    A weekend of fun, tech and talks in Liverpool. Brought to you by the lads of Linux Outlaws
    I went to the first Oggcamp last year, it was really good, talks are volunteered on the day, and they can be on any topic.
    Link to Youtube clips of Oggcamp
    This year I will be there as part of the crew, for even more fun!

    Barcamp Blackpool

    An "unconference", just like Oggcamp, where people come along and suggest topics, and chat about anything tech related. This is a really good meet up, lots of people from the north west are there.

    This years event will be held in the Paradise Room at Blackpool Pleasure Beach.
