OpenMic Session 12/10

When: Monday, 12 October, from 18:00
Where: KLSR4

In OpenMic sessions we will have short (~20mins max) slots for members to come and show the rest of the crowd cool stuff they have been working on or just stumbled upon. You can talk about anything you like or show random videos/pictures if you do not like talking. We want to see cool things!

Please put your name and your topic in the list below. Alternatively you can just turn up a bit early to the session and put your name on the board.

We will also be videoing talks, with permission. We will ask everyone for permission to record them. If you are in the audience, we will direct you to a position in the room where you won't get caught on camera if you do not wish to be recorded. We will have a microphone to record the speaker, but if you specifically do not want us to record your voice, then please tell us so that we can stop the recording.
