PREPARE FOR TAKE OFF!
DORKBOT EINDHOVEN is launching Wednesday April 6th, 20:30, at the

Around the globe there is a movement of small, autonomous functioning 
organizations with a similar goal: offering 
artists/programmers/engineers/geeks an opportunity for informal peer 
review; establish a forum for the presentation of new art 
works/technology/software/hardware; help establish relationships and 
foster collaboration between people with various backgrounds and 
interests. This movement is called Dorkbot and on April 6th it starts 
in Eindhoven.
