We'll have donation jar out by the beer. ;) *April Foods Day Potluck! * This is your chance to bring whatever food, drink, or snack that does something strange with electricity, illustrates your favorite physics phenomenon, explodes, best illustrates your sense of humor, or just plain looks really cool or tastes really yummy! (Don't be surprised if some of our April Foods Day dishes are...well...inedible. We may end up having to order a pizza). Let me know if you want some show and tell time to explain your special treat (shellyhivemind@gmail.com). *Dorkbot Community Meeting * We need your feedback! Please join us for a special Dorkbot community meeting. Your friendly Dorkbot overlord committee needs to hear from you on a number of issues to help our planning over the next meeting: 1) What kinds of Dorkbot meetings do you want? More presentations, workshops, discussions, movies, social hours? 2) What particular topics would you like to see covered in the next year of Dorkbot presentations? Who would like to hear speak? 3) What tools for community, collaboration, and awareness would you like to see made available to Dorkbot folks, if at all? 4) What collobaration spaces/worshops do you already use, and what do you think you need, but don't have access to? 5) How would you like to participate in the next year? 6) What is "dorkbot" and "dorkbot art" anyways? We will have a one hour conservation covering these and other dorkbot topics from 8-9. If you have a short announcement or something for "open dork" please let me know at shellyhivemind@gmail.com. As ever, special thanks to 911 Media Arts Center for providing such a great venue and friendly support for our monthly Dorkbot meetings. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
