Assembly in Finland

As mentioned in the Wurm thread… there is a great big convention/show of sorts in Finland this weekend called Assembly 2003. A place for coders to get together and show their ‘art’ and such that is actually promoted heavily by tech companies and the tourism guys in Finland.

Why don’t we ever have anything like this in North America?

An internet pal of mine is going there with a demo group to show off his Java intro in the 64kB compo, btw. WooHoo!

The whole “Demo Scene” has never really taken off in North America… I wonder why?

Oh yeah, is anyone else going to Assembly? :smiley:

Well I’m not going :frowning:
Aikarele will be there with their Java Intro… I can’t wait to see what they have done with pure Java. 64kB is tight, but enough to do something impressive.

I just realized my post was a huge threadjack, sorry about that. =)
