To celebrate Alan Turing's 100th birthday, June's Dorkbotlondon will happen on a
boat. At 4:45pm on Saturday 23rd June 2012, We'll be sailing from Westminster
pier, passing by Tower Bridge and then to Kew, while enjoying dorkboat
presentations by people doing strange things with electricity. There might be a
prize for the best Turing costume.
When we get to Kew we'll head across the bridge to the Waterman's gallery for
some curry and a geek cabaret, then more presentations and performances and a
wander around the latest exhibition at their International Festival of Digital
Arts (http://bit.ly/IQ7B9O)
