Hello all,
My name is Mario and I represent a plant biology group at Counter Culture
Labs at the Omni Commons.
At the June 13 sudoroom meeting, we proposed a collaboration to build a
'garden widget' using the disaster radio technology with which you have
been experimenting. Our hope is that you can use this collaboration to
build a robust field test for the technology and we can benefit from your
expertise.
An example of a closely related existing technology is the EDEN system,
https://edyn.com, which uses soil moisture and an Internet connection to
control irrigation. We would like to give home gardeners access to an
automatic garden environment log that would include specifically light
intensity and period, and temperature and moisture measurement for air and
soil.
Please contact me if you have any questions, we plan to have a prototype
hack night Tuesday June 20th at the 8pm sudoroom meeting at the Omni
Commons if you are interested in learning more and/or participating in the
project.

Adding the mesh list, as this would be a great opportunity for neighborhood
outreach, and we could set up some of the hardware and promote our next
BYOI (build your own internet) workshop on July 1st.
Unfortunately, Marc and I can't help to coordinate as we're out of town
until the 27th, but I believe Grant said he'd be down, and maybe others
would be interested?
I like the 'take stuff apart' idea, Patrik :)
