[Air-L] air-l Digest, Vol 34, Issue 44

[Matthew Riddle]

Hi all,

I just thought I would repost the message below about the Poke 1.0  
research symposium, because it sounds really interesting, the  
deadline for registering is next week, and I'm going. :)

I noticed some recent interest in Facebook here and thought some  
people may have missed the original post.

Cheers,
Matt
