MAiN #5 - Computer festival in Arles / France (demoparty)

Post by zxtunes.com »

Some copypast ;)
The MAiN#5 - ADA 2010 is a demoscene party, which is practically a meeting of an underground computer art community known as the demoscene. For more information about the demoscene itself, read the appropriate Wikipedia article : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demoscene


Party Features :

Quality bigscreens. Yes, several. More than 16,000 ANSI lumens of total beamer capacity.

Highlight is our 3000 m2 external bigscreen on the roof of the building.
Our internal screen is also remarkable with 80 m2 ;)

Audio systems that match the quality of the beamers.

Free Internet access ( WIFI and cable )

Sleeping mats for those who want to stay at the partyplace at night.

Security personal to ensure your safety

Free and secured parking lots - for those who want to come by car

Shuttle service to pick you up from Marseille and Montpellier Airport

Food and Drink support with VERY FAIR prices .

Free Breakfast service ( French bakery sweet / salty , unlimited coffee and water )

CLEAN Toilets / Showers ( we hired a company to take care on clean and working installations )

Demoscene competitions with annoyingly great prizes.

Fun competitions for the brave.

Live stream coverage. If you can't attend, let us visit your screen

A great selection of food and drinks.

Nice comfortable weather guaranteed, in october there is in average 21 degrees in Arles.

Outdoor lounge with view on the 3000 m2 HUGE SCREEN.



What to bring to the party?

Yourself, obviously. And you can try to get more people with you :)

Your entry to any of the compo categories (optional, but recommended).

Anti-Mosquito products - if you dont want to be a blood bar in the nights ! The infodesk will offer those products for very fair prices aswell.

Sleeping Bag - if you want to sleep at the partyplace , we offer free and clean mats to sleep in the partyplace, there will be a sleeping area again in the hall ...

Also optional, but your computer.
Or any other electronic device - be it either from the last millenium or high-end - which might gain the interest of others.
If you're going to have your computer with you, don't forget to bring a power strip, and if you want to connect to the wired LAN, a UTP cable as well. There will be Wi-Fi as well.

During the party there will be free internet access ( cable and wifi ) so you can stay connected to your friends 24/24h

Enough money
Why am I writing this here?
Well, firstly because the party of France, and the creator of PureBasic Frenchman.
Secondly because any programmers PureBasic can take part in the parties. Say to Demo / Intro.
In the third because we are here with you computer scientists, and the party can come just as a spectator.

I plan to attend this event (although people from Russia and this is troublesome).

Welcome! 8)

And yet this idea is.
Why would Fred do not become a partner of the festival.
He could give a prize of some licenses PureBasic distribution and exchange to get what that promotion PureBasic. :)

Another thought. Fred or Freak could do a small seminar dedicated to PureBasic. Why not?

Good idea but I guess their time is too limited because of the exciting development of awesome new features for PureBasic 4.60! ;)
If any of you native English speakers have any suggestions for the above text, please let me know (via PM). Thanks!

hey people!
why such a weak response?
Demo party is not a frequent phenomenon.
I believe the whole of France is the only one event.

Draw graphics, write music, do a demo intro and / or come to all this look! :P

Wow. Nice location, I'd love to visit and have a look, but it's a bit too far away for just satisfying my curiosity.

Event shedule (timetable)

You still have the opportunity to expose the work. Time before the end of reception of works about 20 hours.

I myself have not done anything yet. But seduced nine friends to participate. 8)

And I will now try to catch naricovat picture. Who's with me? :)

By the way: online video translation
