Join us at elektro:camp(<<2012.10>>) on 26+27 October 2012 at the [[https://eng.kuleuven.be|Faculty of Engineering, University of Leuven]] in Belgium!

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

This is the fifth 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), [[ec1110-coordination|Groningen]] (November 2011) and [[ec1205-coordination|Offenburg]] (May 2012).

You're thinking of participating for the first time? To get an impression of the previous elektro:camp you might want to take a closer look at the [[ec1205-coordination#proceedings|proceedings]].

=== by public transport ===
You can travel to Leuven by train. Hop on bus 2 'campus Heverlee' to the Arenberg Castle. There's a bus stop right at the railway crossing in front of the castle. Please consult train and bus schedules [[http://www.b-rail.be/main/E|here]] and [[http://www.delijn.be/en/index.htm|here]]. People coming from the orient by train can do so at ICE speed up to Lüttich. An inter-city train will take you to Leuven in half an hour. [[http://hhbbyy.cwahi.net/|website]]
