<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Hello,<BR> <BR>I received an invitation to the Maker Carnival in Beijing, which takes place at the beginning of October. The first one 2 years ago was one of the best Maker-Faire-like events I've ever been to. And I'm bummed that I can't make it to this year's. The organizers asked me to pass this invite along to anyone who might be interested. <BR> <BR>The text of the invite email is copied below.<BR> <BR>The full invite, with pictures and attachments is here:<BR><a href="https://noisebridge.net/wiki/Maker_Carnival_Beijing_2014">https://noisebridge.net/wiki/Maker_Carnival_Beijing_2014</a><BR> <BR> <BR>BTW -- I will be leading another Hacker Trip To China (my 4th) for the first 3 weeks of November. I don't have a wiki page set up for it yet, but here is a page for a previous trip:<BR><a href="https://noisebridge.net/wiki/NoisebridgeChinaTrip2">https://noisebridge.net/wiki/NoisebridgeChinaTrip2</a><BR>Every trip is different, because the group decides what to do as we go along. But we will visit manufacturers, hackerspaces, schools and universities, and we will be shown around by local geeks everywhere we go. If you are interested in joining me for this year's trip in November, please email me.<BR> <BR>Best,<BR>Mitch.<BR> <BR> <BR> <BR>------------------------------<BR>Dear Mitch Altman,<BR> <BR>We have the honor of inviting you to the 3rd Maker Carnival held in Beijing, from the date of October 1st to October 3rd, 2014.<BR> <BR>The Maker Carnival is one of the biggest international maker’s events in the world.
