2007-06-06 Launching preliminary site for the NOMAD electronics event


Arduino, Pd, and Processing are becoming more and more intertwined. Sensors controlling software synthesis, robots controlled by video tracking, custom musical instruments, and more. We are a collection of developers working with these free software tools. Join us to work on projects of these combinations, or help us create new possibilities by bringing these tools ever more intertwined.

This event is a combination of a hacklab and a barcamp. We are following the ad hoc, participant-driven nature of the barcamp in combination with the collaborative work studio environment of a hacklab. If you have not been to a hacklab, barcamp, and/or unconference before, here are a couple of good references to get an idea of the way it is done:

BarCamp: What's this all about?

There will be workshops and talks, and plenty of time to work together. We will all be working together to create projects which will then be exhibited in Istanbul. Bring one or more of the following: ideas, projects, a desire to learn, a desire to teach. Come everyday to pick up skills and finish your project. Come whenever you can to learn new bits and pieces, and help build compelling things to exhibit!
