Will the Beeb be making an appearance again at Maker Faire asa you guys did last year? (see R&D TV ep1) As it's in the middle of "The Move"(tm), is that likely to make it difficult/unlikely this year?

There's also a link in the announcement email to the sign-up page for any new makers who want to submit a proposal to show things off. Hopefully see you all in Newcastle in March :-) Adrian.

The dates have been confirmed for the weekend of 13^th and 14^th March which will coincide with the opening weekend of the ten day Science Festival. We’ve learned a lot from running our inaugural Faire in March and we’ll be making improvements for both the exhibitors and the attendees. The principal change is to incorporate the Makers indoors within the Centre for Life (roughly where the Robo- Challenge was located). We’ll still have the Marquee in the Square but that will be used for larger exhibits and for Makers that may require more space or have demands beyond the conventional space requirements. We’d ask you to confirm your interest in attending next year’s Faire and submit a brief proposal of the project you’d like to bring to the Faire. This should be submitted by replying to this email no later than Friday 11^th December. We’ll then be considering all proposals from past exhibitors and potential new Makers and confirm to everyone that’s applied for space no later than 8^th January 2010 if their proposal has been accepted. If you know of other Makers that were not involved in this year’s Faire but who may want to submit a proposal, please point them to the sign-up page here <http://oreillymedia.co.uk:2474/makersinitialform.asp>. Of course, in the interim, please don’t hesitate to contact us with any queries you have and we’ll be delighted to assist you.
