What is the format of a dorkbot meeting?
|
Each dorkbot-van meeting consists of:
-
Brief intros, announcements, administrative
details
-
20 minute presentation followed by 10 minutes
of Q&A
-
20 minute presentation followed by 10 minutes
of Q&A
-
20 minute presentation followed by 10 minutes
of Q&A
-
Opendork mic for anyone with anything to say,
show-and-tell etc.
-
Performance, and time for mingling, networking,
work-in-progress
We will sometimes deviate from this formula
if you have a suitable special event that you’d
like to propose, but typically we like to have
three speakers for an evening as it gives more
of us a chance to show off and be shown off
to.
Imaginary presentation topics:
-
A demo of the new motion tracking software you're
writing
-
Playing a video you made
-
An explanation of how you hacked your game boy
to get it to make cool bleeping noises
-
Trouble shooting/brainstorming your remote-controlled
sandwich-making robot
-
Bringing in some dancers you're working with
and having them demonstrate the interface
used
in your new mind-control ballet
-
Discussing your approach to electronic sculpture
Demos of commercial software are not appropriate,
unless you wrote the software or you are making
it do something particularly novel or interesting.
On the other hand, presenting a piece that was
created using commercial software is fine.
No. We don’t charge admission and we don’t
pay speakers - dorkbot-van is a free,
community event.
You are encouraged to provide most of the resources
needed for your presentation, including your
own computers and mixing equipment. Some dorkbot-van
equipment will be available, but do bring your
own wherever possible. We'll have:
-
A video projector
-
A fast Internet connection (maybe)
-
A mixing board and powered speakers (maybe)
