if you want to hear about how UK Digital ID may/will be harmful to population not just from privacy/surveillance perspective, but from the accessibility (e.g inability to access services w/o Digital ID, problems with data collection and sharing, age gating etc.), and how it's already happening with existing solutions - join our talk at 11:30 on day 2!
UK Digital ID scheme problems aren't just about surveillance OggCamp 2026
In September 2025, Labour government has announced Digital ID scheme that will be introduced in future, which caused major uproar and discontent in a society because of it potentially being a tool for surveillance. While this is certainly a valid point to raise and is reason enough to object, one thing that is usually overlooked is ways it can limit accessibility and discriminate people on multiple fronts. In this session we will talk about how Digital ID proposal in its current form is flawed aside from surveillance part, specifically: - previous technology schemes by UK gov't related to identification (e.g eVisa, NHS Covid tracing) and problems with it; - risk of the scheme being centralised and incompatible with open standards; - what does the passing of weakened data protection law has to do with it; - lessons to learn from Digital ID schemes in another countries - both good and bad And finally, the proposals on the strategy that we, as an open-source community, should embrace.
Charlie O’HaraHello nerds. Next month I’m going to be at @oggcamp in Manchester and I’ll be giving a talk on the main stage. If you want to learn something about Infrastructure as Code then come along, sit down, and listen intently.
You will be allowed to buy me a pint afterwards.
Infrastructure as Code is Cool OggCamp 2026
What's more exciting than infrastructure? Not much. But what's more exciting than repeatable, reusable infrastructure based on code? Sweet FA, that's what. Which is why Charlie O'Hara will show you how to build and maintain your own local infrastructure using nothing but OSS tools and a git repo.

Martin HamiltonHas a friend, colleague or family member started behaving strangely? Are you worried they might have been recruited into a cult? 
Come to Manchester for OggCamp 2026 on 25th/26th April, where I'll be talking about Large Language Models and generative AI 
https://talks.oggcamp.org/oggcamp-2026/talk/FYYB3V/
I'll discuss some common and not-so-common genAI failure modes, how to deprogramme people who are being sucked into the genAI cult, and some practical sabotage techniques that you can take away and use at home. While they are still legal.
Remember: Model collapse is not inevitable, but together, we can make it happen!

Slime, Slop and Sabotage OggCamp 2026
Do you have a friend, colleague or family member who has started behaving strangely? Are you worried that they might have been recruited into a cult? Yes, this is a talk about Large Language Models and generative AI :-) I'll discuss some common and not-so-common genAI failure modes, how to deprogramme people who are being sucked into the genAI cult, and some practical sabotage techniques that you can take away and use at home. While they are still legal. Remember: Model collapse is not inevitable, but together, we can make it happen!

Get your talk proposals in today, folks! #oggcamp
lornajane@cyberspice @saramg seems to me like #OggCamp would still be relevant overlap though and I'll take any excuse to see you both!

@jac Of course it will. If you get one more follower than you have on your blog, you're doing great, but here's the thing, most people don't realise. You'll have achieved something even bigger, you'll have produced something very few others have and loved doing it.
I loved our podcast. I met some awesome people along the way, laughed my guts out way too loudly and felt the love at numerous #OggCamp events, and our sound quality was appalling.
It's the presenters and the content that matter.
