Friday- Sunday May 15-17th This weekend meetup will be to coordinate open source agricultural and remote sensing systems with a focus on integration of FarmOS and the Open Pipe Kit with air, water and soil sensor networks and coordination of overlapping efforts between university, public labs, farm hack and other organizations. This year’s theme is “experiencing the sensed landscape” which will guide our conversations about how we can “experience” environmental data beyond the smartphone and computer screen.
