Just wanted to remind everyone that this really amazing thing is happening tomorrow. I think you should go. ;~)
Also, we may need a few volunteers to help shuttle people up from the entrance if the building and elevators are locked again. If you're willing to help out with this, please email me and Jason directly.
Also, a quick reminder that the 15th is the deadline for submitting anything you want to be in the show at ON Gallery. The show itself will be taking place in October. More info can be found here: http://dorkbotpdx.org/wiki/on_gallery_show_oct_09

Open Dork
Your project, your dime!
OpenDork provides a flexible forum for people doing strange things with electricity to show off their work in a quick, formal, but relaxed setting. It's up to YOU! Do a quick demo, brag, ask for help, show off your stuff.
OpenDork talks/demos are short (generally 5-10 minutes) and may have slides, or hardware, or both, or neither. Get interactive!
