Second week of march! Message-ID: <4EECFE54-C4B2-4F1B-82AE-00A22EC24DE0@davidnunez.com> In the January 2007 issue, Wired magazine mentions dorkbot-austin as the host to the most dorkbot attendees in the nation! Congrats to all of us. Make: magazine chose Austin as the second location for Maker Faire -- robots, explosions, crafts, and makers all converging on the Travis County Fairgrounds... Wow! This is going to be one amazing year here in Austin. So let's keep the geekitude going... The first dorkbot of the year is only a month away (there is NOT a dorkbot on Feb 8, contrary to popular belief). We're planning on kicking off the year with something appropriately huge. Very, very awesome and not to be missed. (we'll need some help... see below) Our site has been updated with the year's schedule and a blog we'll be using to post many resources that will be of interest to the dorkbot community. CALL FOR ART: Seeking artists, hackers, and makers doing strange things with electricity to participate in dorkbot-austin throughout 2007. (http://www.dorkbot.org/dorkbotaustin/participate) CALL FOR HELP: Want to help organize dorkbot, volunteer at Maker Faire, or otherwise help get these activities off the ground? Let us know: dorkbotaustin@dorkbot.org Take care and get to making something Right Now. * dorkbot-austin 6 - March ??, 2007 * dorkbot7 - April 12 * dorkbot8 - May 10 * dorkbot9 - July 12 * dorkbot10 - Sep 13 * dorkbot11 @ Maker Faire Austin - Oct. 20 & 21, 2007 * dorkbot12 - Nov 8
