[Noisebridge-discuss] hi noisebridge - PLOTS and grassroots mapping

[Liz Henry]

Yes! You should connect with the people working on Spacebridge, which 
uses weather balloons and which has its own mailing list,

https://www.noisebridge.net/mailman/listinfo/space

and page on the Noisebridge wiki,

https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Spacebridge

There is a 5 minutes of fame night coming up Oct. 20th, and you could 
give a lightning talk at it if you like which also might be a good way 
to meet people working on similar stuff.

Cheers,



- Liz
