This year we actually managed to put up a guide for people attending our conference. It contains some of the organizers favorite places and it is not in any way sponsored by those listed there.
Originally it was intended to show all the low budget stuff available in Oslo. However some of the places listed are not quite in that category. Most of the places are in the medium range in Oslo, but we will work harder next year for an even better guide to low budget stays in Oslo.
Web Rebels 2012 was a blast! We are still buzzing with excitement after having hosted our first ever conference. It was an amazing two days and we couldn’t have done this without the support of some of the web developer community in Norway. Our community is as viral as ever and a lot of brilliant people are putting in a lot of work. We know that pulling the strings in a community can be a lot of work and without financial support you can not accomplish everything you want to.
We love you, and we want to show it!
There are many ways to help a community achieve its goals, and there are many ways to give back. The Web Rebels Conference would not have been possible without the help of the community, and we want to help you guys reach your goals.
Therefore it is with immense pleasure that we can announce that a percentage of the money left from ticket sales will be going back into the meet up groups that helped us through our first year.
This year 30% of the profits made through ticket sales will be available for meet up groups!
Currently there are three meetup groups we are helping:
How does this work?
Very few things in life come without limitations, and we have set some very simple rules which one must apply with to be legid for receiving some funding. Head over to the Web Rebels community page for the gory details.
Where do I apply?
If you’re hosting a meetup and want us to support you head over to the Web Rebels community page where everything is laid out.
Is this for groups in Norway only?
No, we can do this if you host a web developer meetup in any Scandinavian country.
We had some help shooting videos from all the talks and here are the results. All the videos will be up on our Vimeo channel for those of you who weren’t able to make it. Enjoy!
We’re doing the accounting thing these days and one of the funny things to look at is the beer tab from the party :) The party was amazing and we really enjoyed hanging out with everyone. We figured it’d be interesting to see what kind of beer taste the Rebels have. Below is the top 9 beer brands consumed using what is called the “bong system” in Norwegian.
As you can see, we had a pretty good time hanging out. Having a nice selection of beers is no necessity, but it doesn’t hurt either
Phew, the conference is over and all that remains is to prepare videos and pay the bills. Thanks to everyone who helped make this an inspiring and fucking awesome conference. We loved every minute of hosting the conference and talking/partying with all of you was great fun. The range of topics and types of talks presented by you guys was mind blowing and is such an inspiration going forward.
Thanks and hope to see you at WR 2013!
We got a tiny bit of press for our conference. Thanks a lot to Trygve of Arktekk who made that happen :)

Our fair city of Oslo has been so generous as to start summer just in time for our conference.
Rebels chilling outside the venue, such a beautiful sight!
