CAMPER Camper is a tool for preparing, holding and documenting barcamps. The application is easy to use and ideal for those who want to try out the barcamp format with young people. It is also a suitable option for everyone, whether with or without prior experience of this format, who wants to attend or hold a barcamp. Camper only requires the bare minimum of data from users. All features that organisers may need are held in one space. The content management system is self-explanatory and easy to use even for newcomers. The design editor is great for designing a special barcamp logo. Each day and session can be set up individually and a limit on participants imposed. Camper has been a fully encrypted tool for quite some time, and is available in English and German. It can be run either on one’s own server or on barcamp- tools.eu (including a responsive design function). Camper requires the installation of an Etherpad Lite as well as Python and MongoDB, so a standard webhosting package may not be sufficient for running it in one’s own space.
Camper is a freely developed server application and available for download from GitHub .
