Water Hackathon with Pachube and PubLab
Our friends at Pachube and Public Laboratory (Grassroots Mapping) are partnering with us for a Water Hackathon. This event will be focus on how to connect remote sensoring and mapping, specifically for water quality. The reasons are very compelling: what if we could help people map water quality and have citizens engaged in this process. Don't Flush Me is a local use case. The potential for this type of collaboration is far reaching. We're excited to start braining and hope you will join us. Registration is via the Internet of Things Meet-up group.
