Hi guys, did some re-shoots this am, here is the new video, I will be
doing some editing but any comments are welcome.

Also, can anyone help make us a better landing page for this project
than the github gardenmesh README? Although it's an awesome Readme, it
might be a little dense for a general browsing public who might vote
up our project to win the grant.

Here is what we currently have:
https://github.com/sudomesh/gardenmesh/blob/master/README.md [4]

Lastly, has anyone come across this:

http://www.fiercewireless.com/special-report/open-garden-mesh-networking-wireless-startups-fierce-15-2015

Looks like someone was already doing this? But I've never seen or
heard of them, maybe they're gone now... Anyway, interesting
perspective.

Anyway, I'll be submitting tomorrow, please let me know if you have
any comments this evening! Thank you all!

_____________________Hello everyone,

First off, I'd like to thank all of you for your continued efforts
on this project. We have some exciting developments I'm excited to
update you on:

With major help from Adam, I've put together a crack at the 1-minute
submission for the National Geographic 'Chasing Genius' grant
(www.natgeochasinggenius.com [1]) due July 30th. I've chosen to
submit under the 'Feeding 9 Billion' focus. WATCH THE VIDEO HERE:

We only have a few more days to make edits before I have to submit
so I am interested in hearing any suggestions you have! Not looking
for perfection, just want to get the point across.

Next, if you'd like to participate in BUILDING PROTOTYPES, we will
be hosting a prototype building party AUGUST 6TH 4-8PM at the
sudoroom hack space at the Omni Commons (4799 Shattuck Ave, Oakland,
CA 94609). No need to be an expert, we are all learning together
here. Thank you Grant for taking on the lions share of the soldering
and coding for this project, we couldn't do it without you!

If you are interested in getting more technical information on the
project, please visit our GITHUB WIKI
(https://github.com/sudomesh/gardenmesh/wiki [3]) - thank you Grant,
Jorrit, and Scott!

More good news: Sean Parnell from East Bay Vivarium has graciously
offered to let us test our first round of prototypes in their Wi-Fi
connected store. We will be able to test the units without solar
panels or batteries, or much housing so that we can hammer out the
software side of things and make upgrades for the exterior units
that we will be testing at Annie's Annuals in the fall (thank you
Cassandra!).

Lastly, if you are interested in getting more involved in the
project, we have gardenmesh meetings every Tuesday evening at 8pm at
the Omni Commons (4799 Shattuck Ave, Oakland, CA 94609).

Thank you!
