I am still waiting for the weekend to get a sense of how many people are interested in attending the first dorkbot meeting, for room size and how much sandwich-pas-d'croute to make. If you have a project idea but feel stuck for its realization, post to the list and I'm sure someone will propose a solution, if you have a project ready for show, send me a brief description; Feel free to introduce yourself to the list and/or express your interests in art or technology or something else, like for example: Hi! my name is Hugo and I like playing around with electronics and microcontrollers, and I have this idea about a workshop on mixing and playing with ferrofluids and magnets, also it would be fun to do an outdoor dorkbot before the end of the summer. What about you? Salut a tous! Merci de vous ?tre inscrits sur la liste d'infusion Dorkbot-mtl. Je suis en train de chercher des endroits pour la tenue des dorkbot-mtl. Si vous avez des id?es de places, contactez-moi. Si vous avez un projet en t?te, mais vous avez besoin d'aide pour le r?aliser, ?crivez vos questions et je suis sur que quelq'un ici connait une bonne piste de r?ponse. Si vous avez un projet pr?t a montrer, ?crivez-moi une br?ve description. Sentez-vous ? l'aise de vous pr?senter et/ou d'exprimer vos int?r?ts dans l'art ou la technologie ou autres. Par example: je m'apelle Hugo, j'aime gosser avec l'?lectronique et des microcontrolleurs, j'aimerais apprendre a fabriquer des ferrofluides et ce serait agr?able de faire un dorkbot en pleine nature un de ces 4.

Except? du fait que je ne pourrai me lib?rer dimanche qu'? partir de 21h.

Cette id?e de parrainage me semble tout ? fait appropri?e car elle semble bien s'inscrire dans l'optique des deux organisations.
