@m @autkin I do AV engineering work as a side hustle and all sorts of things can and do end up in ceiling grids if you can get access, and there's access to 230V power up there (increasingly including permanent live feeds as well as switched live, to keep maintained emergency lights going)

@autkin mentioned in the emf email (27/04/26) but not seen mention anywhere since then:

Zine Library
Bring zines!

We’re going to have a zine library in one of the lounges. We’d love it if this could be filled with all kinds of zines made and enjoyed by EMF people. If you have one or more zines you’d like to donate, please bring them along and drop them off at the library during the festival. We’d also love to see a zine workshop in the CfP of you feel like you’d be up for it.
