I was curious about how to run a Raspberry Pi outdoors, so I did some research. If you’re thinking about trying it, or you’ve already run into problems like weak Wi-Fi or batteries that don’t last, this guide brings together the best tips I found.

Appropedia is the site to develop and share collaborative solutions in sustainability, poverty reduction and international development through the use of sound principles and appropriate technology, original research and project information.

Open Source Blueprints for Civilization. Build Yourself. We’re developing open source industrial machines that can be made for a fraction of commercial costs, and sharing our designs online for free. The goal of Open Source Ecology is to create an open source economy – an efficient economy which increases innovation by open collaboration.

Introducing #devBnB. A concept. Where city developers can “book” coding opportunities to go to a farm or small village project in need of open source/hardware expertise to build farm solutions, federated power grids, rural traffic solutions, reverse-engineer proprietary shit.
