[Robotgroup] Dorkbot Thank You!

[Def Egge]

Congratulations to you, David, for having co-managed to pull off dorkbot
Austin season 1.

One of the visitors at dorkbot5 was Randy Jewart of Austin Green Art.  That
might generate some favorable interest come grant-hunting time.

Congratulations to us all for next year's Maker Faire.


All the best....

Mike
