A: Sophie Wilson, who designed the ARM instruction set in 1983, since used in over 230 *billion* chips including every iPhone and almost every Android device ever made, almost every streaming stick, every RPi, every Switch 1 and 2, and every post-Intel Mac.
Next time you’re playing something on an emulation handheld, consider the categories of high-compute, low-power devices that only exist today because Sophie laid the load-bearing foundations for the whole thing.

This truly is a beautiful thing.
The @emf call for participation is open, and so are submissions for the arcade! Starting in 2024, we pivoted from an arcade of classic and retro commercial games, to a space for games makers in and adjacent to the EMF community.
We offer DIY cabinets with x86 pcs or raspberry pis for digital game makers, and have space for more bespoke mechanical and physical games and playable objects.
Just like with the CFP, makers of accepted games are guaranteed the opportunity to buy a ticket, but submitting your game to the arcade is also a great way for folks who can’t make it to the event to have a lil piece of themselves present.
You can find the Arcade submission form along with other CFP details here: https://blog.emfcamp.org/2026/03/24/emf-2026-call-for-participation/
Our Call for Participation is now live!
If you have a talk, workshop, performance, or installation you'd like to bring to EMF, you can now submit it here:
Accepted proposals are guaranteed the chance to buy a ticket!
The next EMF ticket sale will be this Sunday (March 22nd) at 15:00 UK time:

Due to higher than expected uptake on volunteer vouchers, we unfortunately don't have a huge number of tickets remaining for the last two public sales, but we will be offering refunds and reselling tickets in the next few months.
