This panel is composed of organizers of robotic fetivals and events. Sergey Teterin has initiated the machinista-festival, in which machines produce art. David Calkins is the founder of Robogames and other robotic festivities in the US. Among Adrian Dabrowski's activities is helping make the RobotChallenge happen, a robot-competition which includes categories for beginners as well as more advanced challenges.
Moderated by Magnus Wurzer, who's part of SHIFZ's founding-duo of ROBOEXOTICA.

ROBOEXOTICA 2005 talk


Panel with Jake Appelbaum, Francesca Birks, Kal Spelletich and Cory Doctorow. Moderated by Johannes Grenzfurthner.

We produced this roughly half-hour long studio-talk for a 4hr program on ROBOEXOTICA that "aired" on local community-(cable-)TV Okto - see also this post.

This talk is where the clip in the last post was taken from.
