There is no London CrisisCamp in June. Our apologies for the late notice, but we've been having problems finding a new venue for the camp. The new venue is the BBC's Bush House - our next camp is there in July.

The next London Crisis Camp is planned for <date tba> July 2010, 10 am till 5pm. Please register on our eventbrite page (coming soon). Once you've registered, look at the How Can I Help page to prepare yourself for the day itself.

London Crisis Camp Anniversary BarCamp, Central London, 10am – 5pm

Crisis Camp for Haiti is an open-for-all event where participants contribute to creating and improving online tools & services for the relief efforts in Haiti. It’s a fun day of collaboration for a great cause.

Lots of people have helped us with all sorts of skills, including:

  • Programming
  • Communications & publicity
  • French - English translation/language skills
  • Local knowledge: Haiti and Haitian culture
  • Relief work experience
  • IT project management
  • Facilitation and admin
  • Mapping and data entry during the Haiti crisis

And now it's time to stop working for a day, to say thank you, talk about what we all achieved and discuss where we want to go next.

Please bring a laptop if you have one – but remember, you don’t need to be technical to come. You can find more information on location and sign up here: http://www.crisiscampldn.org/

Here is a short video explaining what we’ve done so far - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCv8j_RRW_I

[edit] Planned Days

  • July 2010 - a proper barcamp-style camp to take stock of what we've done and where we are (there is, as always, project work to do if you want to)
  • And then a camp on the third Saturday every month unless a crisis happens: for 2010, that's (provisionally) August 21st, September 18th, October 16th, November 20th and December 18th.
