The Internet Society offers various online courses.
The latest is "Building Community Mesh Networks" :
http://inforum.internetsociety.org/LMS/Portal.aspx?tabindex=0
The course was developed by IEEE and ISOC.
Many of the course participants are IEEE SIGHT, IEEE Smart Village and HAM
radio folks.
It is an open course but you must have a ISOC Membership login (free =>
internetsociety.org)

There's an online registration form with instructions.
The course is self directed but has a six week completion timeline.
Space is limited - sorry for late notice but I got a late start on it
myself.
I think after the course is over it will be left online.

Not your usual Hardware Hacking! Come join us this evening in CCL for the
kickoff of our organic waste-to-energy competition.
We are planning to do a weekly hardware hack night Thursdays for teams
working on prototypes for this competition, followed by a hackathon end of
the month...
Come check it out!

*Build a Biodigester Competition*
Sponsored by Everflux Technologies (www.everflux.tech)
Hosted by Counter Culture Labs (www.counterculturelabs.org/)
*Grand prize: $400 cash*
With common supplies and equipment that you can find at your local hardware
store, anyone can build their own biodigester to produce biogas for cooking
and heating from organic waste!
But what is the most efficient and cost effective design that will maximize
output, conserve space and save time? That's what we hope YOU will discover
with the Build a Biodigester Competition.
Teams of 2-4 people will have 3 weeks to design and gather supplies to
build a small biodigester. Then everyone will come together for a
*hackathon-style
weekend, March 31-April 2*, to build their biodigesters.
*Register your team here*: https://goo.gl/forms/RDIB3Pyy5UhHfKO22
*Please RSVP for the Kick-off event here: *https://www.meetup.com/C
ounter-Culture-Labs/events/237024807/
You do not have to attend the Kick-off event to participate, however
attendees will learn some key tips and tricks for building the best
biodigester and meeting the competition guidelines. You will also have an
opportunity to ask questions about the judging criteria, and get ideas for
biodigester designs and materials considerations. You don't want to miss
this!
Don't have a team? No sweat. Come to the Kick-off event and we'll find you
one.
This is an open science event; no one will claim intellectual property from
works created during the competition.
We hope to see you there,
Daniel Enking

Hey has anyone made an immersive digital art experience using something
like Unity?
Or is there an open source version?
I'm thinking along the lines of bill viola
Welcome to the official BILL VIOLA website

<https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0ahUKEw…>I'm
sure we can do a lot of this stuff without any technology or just using
simpler stuff on software, but you know: making a 3D immersive environment
with real materials can be costly, messy, etc.
I guess if I wanted to do something like that [a 3d funhouse!] would I have
to get to learn about projects and stuff?

Does anybody know if we still have that digital duplicator in the
basement? I can check for myself in a few days but it would help to
know sooner than that. Thanks.
The following proposal came up at the last delegates meeting, in short:
ABDC - "would like to expand our operation to include both the ticket
booth, and half of the front hall. We will continue to pay $400 for the
ticket booth room and would like to pay another $400 for the front hall for
a total of $800 a month. We would like to begin build-out of the space from
May 1 through June 1 rent free so we can focus funds on the cost of
execution."
the whole proposal
