 For more advanced users of SuperCollider we can offer another workshop covering specific advanced topics.
 Topics could include:
-- Input and output to devices or other programs (with e.g., MIDI, HID, OSC, SerialPort)

+**Concept of the Olympic Games livecoding environment**
-- For the livecoding session, I am still playing around with a couple of ideas, somewhere between competetive and communal livecoding.
+Going back to the original Olympic thought of participating
+is more important than winning, and drawing on ancient Greek
+tradition of consulting an Oracle to find a new path in life,
+or gain advice on the path one has taken...
+The OlympicGames provide a collaborative, playful competitive
+livecoding environment, where participants are given alternating
+a set of UGens to write a SynthDef with, or a set of Pattern
+elements to write a Pattern with.
+The executed code of all participants is visible, both to the
+audience (by displaying its screen with a projector) and to
+all participants. So every participant can modify code others
+have come up with.
+To participate, you will need to:
+  * Bring your own laptop (or other computer) with wifi, of course with SuperCollider installed.
+  * The Republic quark (latest version from quarks.svn.sourceforge.net)
+  * And the extensions provided here: [[http://github.com/sensestage/olympic|Olympic at Github]] (use git to grab the code...)
+  * Send me an email about your intent to join the games!
