Week in DC Tech: October 26 Edition
Interactive Art, DIY, and Mapping in Washington, DC this Week
It’s hard to believe, but there are a couple things to do this week other than to watch the World Series, go canvassing in Virginia, and work on your Halloween costume. But I do mean a couple. It looks like the tech world is also caught up in the end of October excitement with lots of groups taking a week off, but if you need to get your geek on, there are some fun options. As always, you can see a full listing of what’s happening in the world of DC tech here.
Tuesday, October 28
Dorkbot DC: In what’s always one of the geekier events of the month, Dorkbot will be hosting two fun speakers on Tuesday.

Saturday, November 1 to Sunday, November 2
10:00 am – 4:00 pm
Mapping Party: Want to hang out with other map enthusiasts or contribute back to something that is truly useful? Come out to the mapping party and help collect data for the OpenStreetMap project – an open source world mapping project.
