The Sugarcamp will be a different event than Linuxtag. Linuxtag was a 
show where you have to setup gear and get promotion material together, 
the camp is more planning what you want to discuss during those days.

That time we have local help from the freesoftwareweek people, that I 
guess take care of the rooms etc. The actual work is then staying in 
contact with them regarding our needs, setting up a wiki, getting in 
contact with the GNOME organizers...

I would like someone else to champion that (better two people so they 
can discuss things) - as I want to focus on 0.86. Should not be too time 
consuming, maybe a nice way to start contributing to the project.

Thanks,
