===== Welcome Smart Developers & Thinkers! =====
~~NOTOC~~

Join us at the elektro:camp(<<2012.05>>) Workshop on May 4th and 5th 2012 at the [[http://www.hs-offenburg.de/|University of Applied Sciences Offenburg]], Germany!

Elektro:Camp is a convention on Smart Metering, Smart Home, Smart Grid and Smart Ideas, in a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barcamp|BarCamp]] style.

This is the fourth meeting of the open source metering community. The concept worked very well at the previous meetings in [[campcoordination|Kaiserslautern]] (October 2010), [[ec1105-coordination|Stuttgart]] (May 2011) and [[ec1110-coordination|Groningen]] (November 2011).

You're here for the first time? To get a first impression of the previous Camp you might want to give the [[ec1110-coordination#proceedings|proceedings]] a look or two.
