From Austinist (my favorite ist) – I thought that some of our resident dorks might be interested in Dorkbot Austin, a monthly talent show and meeting for all things dork.

I’m not sure I completely understand what is going on, but A Swarm of Angels is a movie being created and distributed under the Creative Commons licensing with the assistance of Cory Doctorow. Writer and filmmaker Matt Hanson has this at the top of the FAQ:

01. What is this project about?

A Swarm of Angels is about making a £1 million movie and giving it away to one million people in one year. By using the Internet to gather together 50,000 people willing to pay £25 to join an exclusive global online community–The Swarm–the project’s ambition is to make the world’s first Internet-funded, crewed and distributed feature film.

Could be chaos, could be completely unintelligible, could be mind-numbingly dull, or it could end up being really cool.
