December Dorkbot preparations
From DorkbotBristolWiki
December 2008's Dorkbot Bristol meeting will be taking place at Hamilton House on Saturday 13th December from about midday until late afternoon.
Hamilton House is near to the corner of Stokes Croft with City Road, the entrance is at the rear of the building on City Road.
We haven't got the content fully confirmed yet and are still discussing this over at the Blabber list, but we hope that the day will be an open workshops day and that everyone will bring along something fun to play with.
Mike will be bringing his van and putting up a satellite dish in the car park for our net connection, so for those of you who haven't had a chance to see and play with this platform before, then this will be a good chance.
There is also quite a lot of old tech around the building, so we are considering a small session of "what the hell is that old bit of tech for?".
We will have some food and refreshments (juices, tea and coffee), and you'd be most welcome to bring your own from the many venerable (I'm thinking Rita's) establishments on Stokes Croft.
Hamilton House redevelopment is a project of Coexist http://coexistuk.org/
