The term “unconference” has been applied, or self-applied, to a wide range of gatherings that try to avoid one or more aspects of a conventional conference, such as high fees, sponsored presentations, and top-down organization.

Only electricity we will harvest is the one we can produce. For now two 250 w panels and two 180 Ah batteries can be used. This means not so many online hours and only few soldering irons and even less soldering guns.
If you have any sort of electricity production kits bring them with you.
Satellite internet packages are 10 Gb and over 20 download. With such a quick connection everyone has a tendency to download a lot. But if we do that after 10 Gb we will not be able to anything at all. So we will install donation box, for those who want to download a lot, pls. do consider paying a boost package.
