Open Dork

Your project, your dime!

OpenDork provides a flexible forum for people doing strange things with 
electricity to show off their work in a quick, formal, but relaxed 
setting. It's up to YOU! Do a quick demo, brag, ask for help, show off 
your stuff.

OpenDork talks/demos are short (generally 5-10 minutes) and may have 
slides, or hardware, or both, or neither. Get interactive!
