Join us at elektro:camp(<<2013.04>>) on 26+27 April 2013 at the [[http://www.itwm.fraunhofer.de|Fraunhofer ITWM]] in Kaiserslautern, Germany!

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 sixth 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), [[ec1205-coordination|Offenburg]] (May 2012) and [[ec1210-coordination|Leuven]] (October 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]]. As always, participation is free - you just pay for your sleeping accomodation and maybe food.

Please note: on Friday, please use the public entrance at the front side of the building and park your car in the visitor area in front of the building. On Saturday, we open the entrance at the rear side of the building for you. You can park your car behind the Fraunhofer building. Use the construction access gravel road that comes down from the Carl-Euler-Strasse which leads to the supermarkets Wasgau and Netto. This allows you to bypass the gate.


===== Accomodation =====

The distance between the institute and the train station is about 15 minutes by foot. 
Here are some hotels you might want to consider:

   * The [[https://www.mysmartgrid.de/|MySmartGrid]] demand side management project
   * Home automation projects like a Washing machine [[http://wordpress.meulenhoff.org/?p=274|remote control system]]
   * An Open Source Smart Meter with a focus on privacy - you remain the master of your data [[http://volkszaehler.org/|volkszaehler.org]]
   * Interfacing with utility consumption meters
   * Privacy aspects of the smart grid
   * 6LoWPAN wireless networking for Home Automation: [[project_octobus|OctoBus]], now known as [[https://github.com/mysmartgrid/hexabus/wiki|HexaBus]]
