[okfn-discuss] OKFestival Topic Streams of 2012 and Last Call for Proposals

Tue Jun 26 13:41:01 UTC 2012

Hello Kevin,

Glad to hear you'd like to be more involved with OKFestival as an artist!

I'm CC'ing Massimo Menichinelli from the Aalto University FABLab in
Finland. Massimo is the co-facilitator of our Open Design Working Group
here at the OKFN <http://design.okfn.org> and is also helping coordinate
the Open Design/Hardware/Making/Manufacturing Topic Stream at OKFestival <
http://okfestival.org/topic-stream-open-design/> so he will be able to
introduce you to the other folks involved in art-related programming during
the week.

Hope to see you in Helsinki!
