So next dorkbot we're going to showcase a couple of burning man art projects -- it's all about fire, lasers, and art cars. I'm waiting for a couple of invited speakers to confirm, but if you have something you want to show and tell, I could squeeze in another 10 minute presentation or two. Please mark your calendars, and let me know if you have something you want to share! Shelly -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
