<\/p>\nDie Wassergasse l\u00e4dt am Wochenende (23.-25.4.) zu einer internationalen Zusammenkunft rund um das Tagtool in die Kunstwerkstatt. Beim heurigen Event \u201cChink Chank\u201d steht der gesellige Austausch zwischen verschiedenartigen Tagtool-Projekten im Vordergrund. Am Programm stehen aber auch untertags Workshops, Arbeitsgruppen und Pr\u00e4sentationen. Die Abende werden mit Performances und Jams gestaltet (freie Spende). Tagtooler aus neun verschiedenen L\u00e4ndern haben sich bereits f\u00fcr die Teilnahme angemeldet; aber vor allem Tullnern soll das Event Gelegenheit bieten, das heimische Projekt besser kennen zu lernen. <\/p>\n

In 2009, we hosted the Tagtool Think Tank<\/a>, our first attempt to bring together people in a physical location to discuss the future development of the project. We were extremely happy with the vibe and the turnout of these three days. The Think Tank was focused on the discussion around the software side of things.<\/p>\n This year, we\u2019d like to expand the vocabulary of Tagtoolistas around the world. \u201cChinking\u201d is a collective mental activity, where a thought never stays in one person’s brain for long, but is passed on straight away into the fish bowl of ideas on which the Tagtool boat floats – known as the \u201cChank\u201d.<\/p>\n OMA International<\/a> invites you to take part in the Tagtool Chink Chank 2010<\/strong>, a community event at her headquarters in Tulln, Austria, from 22nd to 25th of April. Featuring workshops, discussions, work sessions, jams and performances.<\/p>\n At last year’s event we were astonished by the turnout of a very interested and international crowd – the first time we physically felt the existence of a Tagtool community. Last year\u2019s surprise will be this year\u2019s main focus. Let\u2019s jam, tinker, and chink.<\/p>\n The venue is the venerable Kunstwerkstatt <\/a>in Tulln, Austria. It will be divided into two zones. The first one (the Chink<\/strong> area) it\u2019s all about exchanging knowledge and ideas. In Open Mic sessions people can present their (more or less) Tagtool related projects or ideas. In moderated discussions we want to pose some questions concerning the future development of the project. And in work sessions we want to put together informal task forces to work on things that improve the state of the project – like writing up documentation for the Wiki.<\/p>\n The Chank<\/strong> area is where the jams and performances take place. Don\u2019t expect a flat projection screen though – throughout the whole event, the place will morph and mutate in all three dimensions. Also there will be a Tagtool Mini DIY workshop for those who want to learn how to build a Tagtool.<\/p>\n We at OMA International are looking forward to seeing you. If you plan on staying over, that’s ok – just drop us an email <\/a>and tell us your name, arrival and departure date.<\/p>\n 2 Areas: <\/p>\n Work groups:<\/strong> People can get together in groups to tackle a few jobs that benefit the Tagtool community. It\u2019s also a great way for people who have some Tagtool experience but want to get a better insight into things.<\/p>\n Tagtool Mini DIY Workshop:<\/strong> Learn how to build your own Tagtool Mini. If you want to participate, please register with iink ( = Matthias = Itzi) – just drop him an email<\/a>. Please note that the total cost for the components is 80 Euros, to be paid at the start of the workshop.<\/p>\n Open Mic:<\/strong> Anybody can show off or tell us about their – more or less – Tagtool related projects and activities. If you want to participate, please register with Gnu (= Josef = Seppi) before the session.<\/p>\n Performances: <\/strong>Performances by experienced Tagtoolers & musicians.<\/p>\n Jams:<\/strong> Musicians and Tagtoolers are welcome to improvise together in sessions hosted by iink & Maki.<\/p>\nSchedule of Activities<\/h2>\n
