Friends,

It’s beyond time to spam^1 you all with plans and visions for DomeFest2008.  (Sorry this is late in coming and thank you to so many of you for expressing interest and support.)  

From the Wild West to the Windy City:
We’re thrilled to announce DF08 will be held at and in partnership with Adler Planetarium and the International Planetarium Society.  The festival is 03 July 08--following the IPS meeting and sharing program and effort with a special fulldome summit of the IPS Fulldome Video Committee.  DF08 will have a truncated program similar to DF07.  

It’ll be one eye-blowing night in Chicago:
+ 2008 Juried Show premiere
+ Domie Awards presentations
+“Making of...” presentations and screenings
+ Demonstrations of interactive applications
+ Good people building community and friendships    

* We’re also working to establish a dome at SIGGRAPH 2008 to give fulldome and DF08 contributors exposure to that important community.   

The fest-site (www.domefest.org) should be up next week but here are some of the nuggets many of you have been requesting.  Please help spread the word.  All progress to date has come from community-building one connection at a time.
