Campzone 2: The Return

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the serious-endeavor-time dept.

rutger21 writes: "CampZone 2 is a large outdoor computer-event in the Netherlands. A field will be transformed into a high-tech campground with full service, including a 100Mbit network and Internet access for everyone. During 11 days, CampZone will be the home for up to 1200 computer enthusiasts from around the world. The main focus of the event is multiplayer gaming, but there will also be other activities, such as paintball." Are there any recurring high-tech temporary communities on this scale in North America? The nearest thing I can think of is Burning Man, and the comparison isn't all that close, especially when it comes to bandwidth.

    than being forced to spend 11 days outdoors in the company of a bunch of dirty, nerdy hippies is being forced to spend 11 days outdoors in the company of a bunch of dirty, nerdy, EURO-hippies.

    I mean, Europeans only bathe, like, 1/month as it is; can you imagine the foetid odor which will cling, napalm-like, to every man, woman and child for miles - oops, sorry, *kilometers* - downwind of the place?
