Basic idea

Using campers for establishing beach head at an empty piece of land. Sort of a basecamp to work from - once you got a camper there, you can go there and hang out.

Process

  • Go to lot and prepare road
  • Create foundation (concrete?) for camper
  • Bring it in!

Once successfully deployed ...

  • Build a fence
  • Create a tent-structure

Campers as mini-hackerspaces

Patterns of hackerspaces:

  • Scout
  • ...

What is the minimum 'stuff' required for X people to go out there and hack for 72 hours?

Currently...

  • Tim has 2 campers and properties in CA.
  • We can gather free materials for everything we need to establish a wikitown, as long as we got infrastructure to get it (trucks and people) and space to store it.

Potential Properties to Pilot on

In CA, there are several in the high desert, less than 2 hours from LA. There are 2 in Lake country, and three in North East California not far from the Oregon and Nevada border.

  • 10 acres of farmland.
  • reachable by public transit
  • Gets a few feet of snow in the winter
  • Needs a well.
  • Has a tractor
  • 2 other properties in the national forest

In national forest

  • free campground nearby
  • beautiful!
