Betreff: Re: [Bricolabs] Back from Yogyakarta. Preparing the First World Summit on Critical Making
september 2015!
Great, lets go.

Anyone interested in a COST.eu application to support
flights/accomodation/the meeting?
I dont have university affiliation, but surely we can grab 5 people with
connections to critical making and university affiliations?

Cheers
Brian
