Drumbeat/Festival/awesome

Welcome to the Drumbeat Festival Awesome Sandbox

Coming out of the Mozilla Summit, we have a lot of energy and ideas flying around for what would make the first annual Drumbeat Festival awesome.  It's going to take a little while to set up our full planning infrastructure and team, but we don't want to lose any momentum or inspiration. 

If you have or hear about awesome ideas for the Festival, please list them here.  Please include a brief description of your idea, your name and email in the "someone [at] domain [dot] org format" and include relevant links.  The Festival team will get back to you and work to incorporate the most awesome of awesome ideas into the Festival.

Awesome Festival Ideas

• Carnival Shootout - we would have few targets with Open Web enemies' logos and would have to hit them all in order to win some symbolic prize - Kerim, kerim [at] mozilla [dot] ba
• Army of Awesome badges/stickers - playing off the Army of Awesome Meme from the Summit, I'd like to get a Mozilla Army of Awesomes sticker for attending.
• EDIT ME - be the next to list an awesome idea.  - Nathan, njames [at] mozillafoundation [dot] org
• Project Drumbot
  • Run a "build a robot drummer" competition via Instructables or the like. Participants would need to document the building process so that other people could copy the robot.
  • Here are some Instructables Robot Drummers:
    • DIY Electronic Drums
    • Make your own Robot
  • The robocross Robot Drummer - I mentioned this in the community call | Robot Drummer
    • I can make contact with Robocross and find out what their booking needs and costs are. If nothing else we can make a video talking about how they learnt to build robots and tips for people starting out.
  • The Trons - a robot band from New Zealand Trons
