> Ladies and Gentlemen,
>
> You are cordially invited to leave your tents and sleeping bags safely
> at home and join us in
> Aarhus, Denmark for the Runme Dorkbot citycamp 2004. From the
> 25th-27th August, Aarhus will be
> filled with 'people doing strange things with software', as well as
> more traditional campfire
> activities such as eating, drinking, talking, socialising, showing off
> and relaxing together.
>
> The citycamp will be an informal gathering of people interested in
> software and art where
> citycampers will be free to do some low-key research, develop code and
> ideas, talk to interesting
> people and enjoy dorkbot-style presentations (5-20 minute
> presentations with feedback sessions),
> performances and parties.
>
> The Aarhus' Jutland Academy of Fine Arts has kindly donated use of a
> cozy building for these
> purposes. We will not, however, actually be camping there; but the
> basic accommodation for the
> citycampers will be taken care of (for those who have registered with
> a presentation or other
> activity).
>
> The R&D camp is brought to you by runme.org and dorkbot.org, but even
> if you've never heard of
> these groups, you are most welcome to come, see and show: all you need
> to do is register yourself as
> a participant or as a visitor here
> (http://readme.runme.org/registration.php). You are, of course,
> welcome to come without prior registration (either as a participant or
> as a visitor), but there is a
> chance that we won't allow you in because the space is full. We'll
> give preference to those ones
> registered... The deadline for registration is June 15.
>
> There are already some plans in the works: a live programming
> sound/code clash, software vj
> mega-jam, installation works, and (for the intrepid) a pre-citycamp
> cycle tour of Europe taking in
> sites of geeky interest. However, there is plenty of space for more
> suggestions for events, projects
> and recreation. If you have some ideas, please let us know.
>
> Also, we are distributing this invitation to people and channels we
> are familiar with, if you know
> someone or somewhere interesting that we have missed out, please
> redistribute this invitation.
>
> We look forward to hearing from you, and seeing you around the city
> campfire in Denmark this
> summer!
