RunMe DorkBot CityCamp 2004

Aarhus, Denmark, Aug. 25–27

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). 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!
