Yes, +1 and I'm happy to help. I've given you an account on the sudo room
calendar, so you can post a date when things come together.
Whenever details are settled, we should ensure the time(s) are available
with The Omni and bring it to a Thursday Omni Collective meeting for
nominal checking and approval.

I'm looking to organize a farm hack event in
February. Would sudo want to
host it? It would be full day event, probably on a Saturday with 30-60
people. Farmhacks are are always free to attend but I would like to support
the space financially.
I'm thinking that it would be part hackathon and part hands on skill
share with various presentations and discussions throughout the day.

What are the core elements of the FarmHack culture?
- Biology before steel and diesel, software before hardware – is
there a way to approach this problem by using biological systems that add
to soil health – such as cultural practices like cover cropping, mulching,
crop or animal rotations etc, is there an approach that eliminates hardware
through greater systems understanding?
- Holistic approach – does this tool make me enjoy working with it as
much as getting the job done faster?
- Designed to empower owner of tool to use, modify and improve –
different from industrial tools which user does not own in the sense that
there are aspects of the tool that are inaccessible to the user. If you can
not modify a tool you do not really own it, but are just borrowing it from
the system that created it.
- Designed for transparent function – functional components are
clearly laid out and purpose is clear.
- Modularity – functions can be removed and replaced without
reengineering entire tool. Tool function can be changed by adding or
subtracting parts.
- Adaptability- tools can be used for many functions and can be
changed to new functions easily.
- Design for Disassembly – modularity/if welded easy access to joint
for cut/ no hidden bolts/ exposed bearings/belts/ Belt and chain tensioners
have enough play to enable easy removal
- Universal couplers/fastener spacing – use of standard quick
connects for electronics/hydraulics/air lines/power take offs
- Design with replicability in mind -- Could this part be recreated
in a farm shop in a small town – Use of common dimension materials. for
example design for welded and machined parts rather than castings
- Use of “off the shelf” or commonly available components, or
components that are or can be re-purposed – can a more easily sourced part
do the job as well?
