DPRG mailing list archives: DPRG: Presentation Invitation

Sat Feb 15 16:17:20 CST 1997

Dear Sirs at NewMicros, Inc.:

My name is Jim Brown and I'm the president of the Dallas Personal
Robotics Group.  We are one of the oldest special interest groups
(sigs) in the area of personal robotics.  We started in 1984 and
currently we meet in the Infomart on the Super Saturday event put
on by the DFW-Xchange Corp.  The next meeting is at 12pm-2pm on
March 22nd in room 1061 of the Infomart.  Many of our members and
visitors are professionals in the embedded electronics and robotics
industries and work at such places as TI, EDS, and other high tech
electronics and robotics companies.

We would like to invite you to bring a presentation of your products
to the group.  A few of our members have already purchased your 8051
board.  And they speak very highly of them.  Many are interested in 
your intel based and motorola based SBCs.  We meet for two hours, 
and any presentation length from 15 minutes to 1 hour would be 
appreciated.

Currently we have about 25-30 members and visitors show up per
meeting.  We are also on the internet at:  http://www.dprg.org .
You can get a listing of our current membership list at:
http://www.dprg.org/members.html .  Also you can check out
newsletters online the latest being:

Coming up in May we plan to have a robotics Contest.  This contest
has started to draw a lot of interest from members and visitors.
I figure that for the next couple of meetings, or attendance will
be rising due to the added interest, and may be a prime opportunity
to advertise your products to the group.  Also, if you brought 
a few SBCs to sell to the meeting, you might sell a few.
You can find out more about the upcoming contest by viewing the
newsletter at http://www.dprg.org/nl_mar97.html .

If you are interested in bringing a presentation, or making a
donation to the group, please respond to me by email at 
jbrown at why.net, or call me at work at 972-519-2868 or at home at
972-495-3821.  We can schedule a upcoming DPRG meeting time for
your presentation.  As I stated earlier the May meeting will be the 
robotics contest and would not be an open date, but if you are 
willing to come, we could schedule for any other month's
meeting date.
