The organizing committee is attempting to finalize the BricksWest schedule
by the end of next week. This is the absolute last chance for you to step
forward and volunteer to run a session or two in Carlsbad.

To date, we are a bit heavy on trains, Mindstorms and LDraw. To add some
diversity to the session offerings, we would like to invite ANY interested
parties to contact us at events@brickswest.com immediately.

We're looking to either expand upon the offerings from the 2002 event or add
unique new elements to the mix. Some ideas for sessions, roundtables, BOFs,
etc. include:

Town: We haven't seen or heard anything Town specific yet...is there enough
of a Town interest, or does this just remain lumped in with Trains?

Mecha: ANYHTHING! This was probably the break-out surprise hit of 2002...the
models on display were fantastic, and some of our fan modelers were even
asked for their autographs at LEGOLAND. Can we beat last year's showing?

Space: I'd had an idea that we could do a Moonbase gathering, but this seems
to have slowed a bit. Any interest from the space-cases? One thing I would
love to do would to get some representatives from NASA or JPL or something
to come and discuss the gathered modules, viability, possible problems, etc.

Castle: It has already been forwarded that this new Marketplace module
project could do a preliminary get-together at BricksWest...was there ANY
interest at all?

Military: Dan Siskind wowed us with some of his historic military MOCs last
time. I've seen some spectacular stuff come up here lately...could we get a
military module gathering going? Say, pick a specific battle from a specific
war, then bring together terrain modules, vehicles and figures to create a
large scene?

Storage: We have a session on insuring your collection...something on
storage systems, building rooms, etc. could be the start of a full track
related to this sort of thing.

Photography: I wanted to do this so badly last year. Tips, techniques,
lighting, picking a camera, etc. I tried to get Best Buy to bring down some
cameras to try out and everything. This would be a REALLY good session...any
takers/interest?

Again, this is the ABSOLUTE LAST CALL for sessions...if you have ANY
interest in seeing diverse sessions at BricksWest, we need to hear from you
NOW at events@brickswest.com.

Thanks!

Matt

Is anyone presenting brickOS at BricksWest? Their last call states that they are heavy on Mindstorms but the Brickwest website, last updated in October?, seems to only indicate several talks on RoboLab. It would be great to have someone present. Or (...) (22 years ago, 17-Dec-02, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.events.brickswest)

I've already done 2 Fests in the past 6 months so I'm most likely not going to BricksWest. However if anyone else going there would like to put together a Moonbase, that would be great. Let me know and I will offer any support I can. - j o n -- | (...) (22 years ago, 18-Dec-02, to lugnet.events.brickswest)
