Communicate!
Mailing lists are active, please join:
dorkbotmelbourne-anounce: low-volume, one announcement per month.
dorkbotmelbourne-blabber: mid-volume, chattier one for talking amongst us about all kind of dorky topics.
We don't maintain the separate webpage at http://dorkbot.org/dorkbotmelbourne/ anymore, as this wiki is the main Dorkbot Melbourne webpage. However, it is still a good idea to give out "dorkbot.org/dorkbotmelbourne" as a way to find us.
Participate! (if you please)
At the beginning of 2007 we had a coordination meeting to work out a plan on how to continue . See the /CoordinationMeetingMinutes27February2007 for details.
If you would like to present, please write to us at dorkbotmelbourne@dorkbot.org . You can also edit the wiki yourself if you would like to extend and clarify our /ListOfPotentialPresenters
Editing this page:
A note about structure from the dorkbot.org central command:
If you add wiki pages that are specific to a particular dorkbot, please navigate to that dorkbot's pages (DorkbotNycWiki, for instance), and then add links with a "/" prepended. For instance: if you're here: DorkbotNycWiki and you want to add a link about cool things to do in nyc, you'd add: /CoolThingsToDo instead of just CoolThingsToDo. That makes the page specific to DorkbotNycWiki so that other dorkbots can also have their own pages called CoolThingsToDo. Pages of interest world-wide don't need a / prepended. You can also use ../SomePageNameHere to refer to pages that are above your current location in the structure.
