Dear All,
Thanks again to Nisha for introducing me to this excellent group of people
on this Data{Meet} google group.
A little background if I may. I am the co-founder of KarmaCompany (now
called KarmaCorps - see www.karmacompany.org), a trust established to
support through facilitation and seed funding nonprofit programs
established by other organisations, and sometimes our own, across a range
of sectors including the environment, education, livelihoods and health.
Sensors Without Borders (SWB) (see www.sensorswithoutborders.org) is
KarmaCorp's first environment-focussed initiative that has been established
to use and provide open source technologies to measure environmental
pollution particularly in regards air and water quality.
We will make our sensor hardware, sensor calibration and maintenance
procedures, and our data reporting platform (along with raw captured sensor
data) all completely open source for use by advocacy organisations,
research and development institutions, concerned individuals coalescing
around citizen science initiatives, and perhaps even regulatory
organisations.
In line with this, and given the nascent sensor landscape in India, SWB is
organising its first Sensor Unconference at Workbench Projects (located at
Halasuru Metro, Bangalore) on Sep 26th.
If you wish to present on your own sensor-related work or even better demo
your product, or would rather simply participate, please RSVP by Sep 22nd
at [email protected]. If you wish to present / demo, you will need to
send us a short abstract by the same date.
Attendance is on the house either way. See the attached invitation for
further details. There is also a concept note here
<http://www.sensorswithoutborders.org/#!events/c1sp0> on our website.
We look forward to seeing you there and if there should be any further
queries, please do not hesitate to write in or call at +91 73583 87518.
Best,
Sriram Reddy
