<div dir="ltr">We used solar tech to cook at Fractal Planet at Burning Man. The project was led by <a href="http://oneearthdesigns.com">oneearthdesigns.com</a>. They don't appear to be open source, and are probably too expensive. Maybe you can talk to the creators and get some models donated. They worked quite well, at least in desert sun. It was also quite safe. There is a designated place to stand, and it looked hard to accidentally reach into the beam. Alternatively, I'm sure a similar design exists in open source as I've seen this umbrella type design in other camps. I'll try to get more info.</div>

If any of you are interested in what I have been doing in Rwanda in the year that my beagle and I have been away from Noisebridge, I have posted a few pictures about<br>
making solar lanterns in a small village in northern Rwanda. They are at <a href="http://girlgeekrwanda.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">http://girlgeekrwanda.<u></u>wordpress.com/</a><br>
<br>
Last night I spoke with the town minister, (the mover & shaker of all things in that village). He said that the women love their lanterns but they have a hard time finding firewood to cook with. I told him that I would print off a few solar oven designs from the internet, and bring them to the village to experiment with while I am gone from the country for Christmas. I know that I will easily track down various designs. But if anyone at Noisebridge has any experience with solar ovens, or any advice they'd like to offer, I would love to hear it.<br>

Beagle Shiloh is not with me. He is happily with 3 new little girls to play with in San Rafael.<br>
<br>
Be well all.<br>
