Festive spirit and slight shortage of speakers for this session led us to the following proposition: calling all dorkboters to bring their own gizmo for informal demo fest and/or contribute to a common stash of mince pie and other delicacies. Or even kill 2 santas with one snowball and bring your own gizmoed mince pie!
We did not get many gizmos, but dorkbot provided some mulled wine.
Open dorks
