| − | Ephemerisle will be an annual gathering on the water of people interested in seasteading. The first gathering will be inside the [[SFBay|San Francisco Bay]]. Future years might be outside the bay or further out in the ocean. It could have some of the flavor of [http://www.burningman.com/ Burning Man] (also [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burning_Man here]). | + | Welcome to Ephemerisle! The first-ever floating festival of politics, community and art will be held October2-4, 2009 in the Sacramento Bay Delta (exact location TBA in August.) |

| − | The [http://groups.google.com/group/ephemerisle-planning ephemerisle-planning mailing list] has discussions about how it might work.

| − | Boats will be an important part of the gathering. See [[SFSeasteadersSailingClub|The SF Seasteaders Sailing Club]] for information about handling boats.
| |
| − | We may also have a central custom built platform. It might be something cheap using techniques similar to [http://wps.com/BM/PVC-Quonset-Hut-assembly/ this PVC pipe quonset hut design] from Burning Man, or we might need something more expensive such as [http://www.candock.com/product_cube.php Candock]

| − | One proposal is to have an [[Ephemerisle Contest]] between seastead models. These models would be large enough to play on, like [[User:Vincecate/WaterWalker2|WaterWalker2]]. There might be constraints like requiring that the model can be transported by a single pickup truck. Prizes might be in the $500 to $2,000 range. If the location does not have waves, [[Low_Cost_Wave_Tank#Speedboat_Wake|speedboat wakes can be used to test models]].

| − | | |
| − | Some [http://dmv.ca.gov/boatsinfo/boatreg.htm California boat regulations] should be kept in mind when designing new structures that might be boat-like.
