Hi,

The Makers track is now mostly ready and confirmed:
https://wiki.fscons.org/Suggested_Speakers_2014

A few minor issues remain to be clarified:

1. Confirmation from Erik Thorstensson (Gothenburg) --
Jasmine Lyman (also Gothenburg) will follow him up.

2. The Maker Ninja workshop: I'm now thinking it can
run the entire time of the track: In the foreground
for about two hours, and more in the background when
other things are taking center stage (so that kids
can continue making things through the entire track
if they want to).

3. Travel expenses for the track will be low: 2 people
from Oslo (who may be able to pay their own way, I'll
check), and 2 or more from Gothenburg. However, there
will be some limited expenses to materials for the
workshop. According to Jasmine: "har ni medel till
material i så fall? om jag kör workshop kommer det
behövas lite material till att bygga spel, pennor,
papper, lego, lera eller dyl".

4. Pending approval/changes/wishes from the program
committee. :)
