Me too - I would really love to join you all but I'm probably going to be working up north. I might be able to come for the Saturday/Sunday but depending on where work send me for surveying I might find the drive down South too much and I'll have been working away from home for weeks. November would probably work better for me. If there's space please put me down as a maybe? On 20 Aug 2015 01:55, "Daniel Taylor" <[email protected]> wrote:
Hi adam,
I would love to come, but unfortunately I'm working those days. The content looks great though and would be interested in any other events.
Cheers, Dan

So, any more takers?
If not, please let us know why not - whether you are interested in having real life gatherings, and if so, what setting would suit you better, etc.
If we are to grow as a community we need your input...
In other news, we are inching closer towards having the technical capacity to put on webinars.
Thanks,
Adam

There has been a steady stream of people signing up to this mail list and it feels like time to take things forward.
Something we have been talking about since the beginnings of the SoilHack idea is to have gatherings where soil geeks and the soil curious can get together to talk and learn about soil. A day goes quickly and limits time for interactions where as a weekend gives a bit more time for things to happen so we were thinking about a camp.
SoilHack was formed around the idea of open collaboration and it would be good to let this guide the organisation of such a gathering.
It would be nice if we could keep financial and organisational overheads to a minimum by -
- trying to organise something before it gets too cold for people to camp - asking people to bring food to share / collaborating with food preparation (this can be a good time to chat) - asking people to bring stuff to talk about (do workshops, skill shares etc.) There would definitely be some biochar, soil microscopy and aerated compost tea stuff going on.
A big part of it would be to get people together to spark conversations around soil, the work and research we are doing, and letting stuff grow out of these interactions. Also to see what ideas/energy people have for taking SoilHack forward.
Interested in hearing from anyone interested in participating in such a gathering.
We have kindly been offered the option to use the Brook End LAND Centre near Street/Glastonbury, Somerset (1hour south of Bristol) on the 9th - 11th October if we gave a donation towards expenses (firewood etc.) there is a hall / classroom with a woodstove and lots of outdoor space.
There would be a limit of 25 participants, and along with camping, space to sleep in the hall or local B&Bs.
