I've always thought of open days as being, well, open.  Bring and show
yer stuff.   I know in the past, we've encouraged outside groups /
people to show 'n tell too.   So if makers wanna show, by all means
please do so.  But I'd hate to see anyone excluded because they
weren't makery or techy enough.

There's lots of kinds of hacking...
