What

Idiopolis is the name that we (buzz/dreamer/others) used many years for a village at hackercamps. It is ment to be a conglomerate of many groups/individuals that aren't attached through a sole instance, but out of friendship/idiocy/chance.


In the past we have been built-up or cooperated with people from many groups, here is a incomplete list;

  • NURDspace
  • TechInc
  • Bormhack
  • Datux.nl
  • Redhat
  • Ubuntu
  • hackers-on-a-bike
  • Dutch Squatter Movement
  • Scouting Nederland
  • Foodhackingbase
  • Stichting Open
  • many others


How

Usually we build a village out of 'whatever big tents we can bring' to chill/nerd/cook/eat in.


Later we also built two HUGE tents that are in storage nowadays, ready to get used for future events.

  • Maxidome - A 9m diameter geodesic dome tent , takes ~5 people to build up in ~90 minutes
  • Monkeyopolis - A 15m long 'monkeyhut' tunnel tent , takes ~2 people to build up in ~15 minutes

One of the things buzz found really important is bringing ASHTRAYS to events, to prevent hernias from picking up cig butts all the time. Check link under 'More?' for a .stl to a ashtray design.
