We need to con sider how new systems can be easily deployed and used by local groups. S upported by regional groups of academics\, scientists\, citizen scientis ts\, journalists\, environmental hackers\, communities from the DIY and Maker movements. Systems that can aid local populations in their underst anding of environmental and climate changes and help them deal with thos e changes. Our systems are aimed at the area that is the difference betw een today's weather and long-term climate changes ahead. These systems a re designed to be the “last mile” of climate change monitoring\, allowin g local communities around the world to monitor their climate and take s teps to mitigate changes. The systems will be owned and run by these com munities with limited outside technical support\, and can either stand a lone or be tied together into an ad-hoc network similar to a small netwo rk of cellphone towers. Using our system to ask three questions: What is happening to our climate and environment? What does it mean? And what c an we do about it? The hard data collected from the system\, leaders in communities can begin planning how they will adapt and stay in place in their decision-making process. The GMIBS-Project will design\, develop\, and produce low-cost systems to aid local groups efforts to monitor and mitigate climate change. By this we hope to foster an ecosystem of user s\, developers\, contributors\, and competitors in an open global market place for climate change intelligent aid tool systems. \;\n \;\nAb out Robin \;\n \;\nRobin’s current work is on development of an Ea rly Warring System for local climate changes. Graduated from a private h igh school housed at Reed College and staffed by students from Reed. His academic training includes several degrees with an international focus as well as information management and telecommunications (BS/AA and 3 Ce rt’s) Along with over 10\,000 hours of professional training in intellig ent networks and information storage\, which gave him the skills and cap abilities needed to work for two multinational and three foreign corpora tions. Other careers have been: Academic research for non-profit R&\; D organization\; musical bands and llght show logistics. \;\n \;\n Many will head to the Lucky Lab at 1945 NW Quimby St. after the meeting. \;\n \;\nRideshares to the Lucky Lab available \;\n \;\nPLU G is open to everyone and does not tolerate abusive behavior on its mail ing lists or at its meetings.\n\nTags: plug\, linux\, bsd\, unix\, netwo rking\, education\, devops\, open source\, beer\n\nImported from: http:/ /calagator.org/events/1250474067 URL:http://pdxlinux.org SUMMARY:Portland Linux/Unix Group: Combating global warming with open sou rce and IoT LOCATION:Portland State University Fourth Avenue Building (FAB) Room FAB 86-01: 1900 Southwest 4th Avenue\, Portland OR 97201 US SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
