Spaces

We have five rooms reserved from 8:00-19:00:

...as well as the area outside the rooms, where we can socialize and eat.

The public area outside the classrooms is open 24 hours a day, although the doors to this area will only be unlocked from 8:00-20:00. We pretty much have this whole area booked for the weekend, so campers can feel free to work late into the night in this non-classroom space if they want.

Power

Power outlets are few and far between (!) so if you plan on bringing a computer, it may be a good idea to also bring a power strip to share with others.

WiFi

The Stata Center, and all of MIT's campus, has a semi-open wifi network. If you are affiliated with MIT, you can just sign in. If you are not, you can sign in as a guest and you will have a wifi connection within 15 minutes. When logging in you'll see an option for "conference", which you should ignore (remember: BarCamp is an unconference).
