Put up large billboards with maps of the camp ground. Invite the participants to put stickers and other marks on it, to mark their villages. ca 150 € / map <del>3 maps should do.</del> Due to constrained spare time, there will only be 2 maps. The map itself will be professionally printed. == Dependencies == * The design team should have decided upon a color scheme and symbol language, before the the drawing can begin. * Permits: storm resistance? * low power / no power * no network == Status == * Bought wooden panels for the boards, grinded edges and front surface. * Wallpaper application as a test. == Howto: Buildup == * Get Material from home improvement / hardware store. * Volunteers need: No help needed for fabrication. 2 volunteers needed for erecting on the camp. * Time: about 6 weeks of free time. * TODO: Provide instructions on how to set up the installation on the event site. == Howto: Teardown == * TODO: Throw/give away? * 2 volunteers needed for teardown. * TODO: How much time is required? == CCCamp 2015 Experience == MRQ has experience from building one map like this for CCCamp 2015: What has been done: # Buy 3 pieces of high density fiberboard (HDF) of approx size 0.9m x 3m. # Buy White nonwoven wallpaper. # Buy wooden bars for the frame. # Apply the wallpaper on the fiberboard. Make take care, that the board can't buckle. Let it dry. https://twitter.com/CCCAC/status/620248621364178944 # Prepare the map on a PC (pan, zoom, rotate). # Project the map on Wall with a video projector. # Erect board in front of the wall. # Paint the map onto the board with brushes and acrylic paint. https://shells.aachen.ccc.de/~mrq/camp-karte/IMG_20150713_014059.jpg # Take down the map and accidentally rip the separate boards apart (only hold together by the wallpaper). # Construct a supporting frame out of the wooden bars. Screw the map on the frame. # Tear down everyting. # Stuff it into a van. Drive to the camp. https://shells.aachen.ccc.de/~mrq/camp-karte/IMG_6284.JPG # Build up everything again. Put it at the side of a larger tent. Fix it to the tent with strap fasteners. # Apply last minute corrections to the layout of the ways, white paint for erasing. # Spray the names of the tents and amenities onto it with spray paint and stencils. # Leave a pen and a note “Please feel free to add your logo”. # Let people populate the map. # Correct grossly missplaced entries with white paint. # Remove Rick Astley. Otherwise celebrate freedom of expression. # Tear down everything after the camp. Drive back to Aachen. # Construct a wall mount for the map. Hang it on the wall. Leasons learned: * ++ Much better feedback and participation than expected. * ++ The camp map still is a nice piece of decoration for the CCCAC hackerspace. * + Acrylic paint is waterproof. * + Nonwoven wallpaper is durable even in a thunderstorm, but it will bleach in the sun. * o Apply a bit of white paint as a primer next time. This will counter the bleaching and allow easier white paint erasing. * - Use a coloured thread to mark the „You are here“ spot. Because people had a difficulties finding it on the cluttered map. * - The map buckled because of changing humidity. So use many screws to fix in on the frame. * -- Painting with brush and paint is very very slow. Decide for a better process the next time.
