As we stare dejectedly at our screens and consider what might have been during the 2020 summer that didn’t quite happen, here’s a little something to look forward to in a future where the COVID-19 pandemic will with any luck be much less of a threat. We have have had precious little in the way of events in 2020, but the call for participation has been announced for one of the largest planned for 2021. MCH2021 will be big European summer camp of next year, and is scheduled for the 6th to the 10th of August at Scoutinglandgoed Zeewolde in the Netherlands province of Flevoland. It will be the latest in a long line of such events going back to 1989, and with such a track record we know it’s going to be a good one.
We know that among our community are many people who’ll be interested in going to MCH, and that each and every one of you will have some fascinating insights that others would love to hear about. The challenge of the MCH orga is to bestow upon you the courage to stand up in front of your peers and talk about it, and from our experience here at Hackaday we’d say that an event such as this one makes for a very good place to give speaking a try. As always they’re interested in all the cool stuff that comes from our diverse community, but to help you along they’ve suggested a theme. Recent events have it’s fair to say presented a challenge to the world, and in that light they state that “we are especially looking for content that is about our ability to recover from extreme events of whatever nature”. We look forward to seeing you there.
That’s okay, you don’t have to tell us what “MCH” is.
May Contain Hackers
Well, “MCH2021 will be the big European summer camp of next year, and is scheduled for the 6th to the 10th of August at Scoutinglandgoed Zeewolde in the Netherlands province of Flevoland” ;)
The letters stand for “May Contain Hackers”, though I’d say that’s less important.
Same location as SHA2017! I biked from Brussels to Zeewolde and crossed NL in one day.
Let’s hope the fins will come back with their sauna!
“Let’s hope the fins will come back with their sauna!”
Use of the sauna may be a requirement to mitigate Covid19.

So, no engineers? Ya know, the people that have enabled your blessed artistic free-thinking souls.
We mix in, it’s nice to be amongst people even worse at social interaction :D
