Dates: November 2-4, 2012 Location: Cocodrie, LA at LUMCON Info on Cocodrie: Cocodrie on Wikipedia Information on the 2011 barnraising A human contact if you have logistical questions: Shannon.. shannon@publiclaboratory.org or 504.239.4642 What is a Public Lab barn raising?This is the closest thing we have to a Public Lab conference -- but with an emphasis on "doing stuff together" rather than just presenting/talking. In the spirit of bringing a community together to collectively raise a structure such as a barn, Public Lab comes together to develop tools, toolkits, supporting materials such as guides and tutorials, test the tools and develop new research directions and projects. Participants represent a wide range of interests from technologists and designers to social scientists and community organizers. This page will be used for information pertaining to barn raising activities including schedule, travel info, etc. RSVPSign-up formPlease fill out the required information on this form.

Curriculum development for environmental monitoring tools what workshop and lesson plans would help communities integrate PLOTS tools?
Hydrogen Sulfide Hack Session
Usability of the Balloon Mapping Toolkit we'll go through the planning process and brainstorm ways to improve the rate at which people share back their planning, mapping, and mapping outcomes.
Designing publiclaboratory.org to capture the context of tool use we'll look at Mapknitter, research notes and brainstorm improvements to encourage people to post more info on flight planning, why to make maps, and see what lessons we can draw for other tools like Spectral Workbench Introduction to MapKnitter and/or alternatives For those new to Mapknitter, we could align fresh images if we get any, or discuss advanced topics.
What is your experience with the PLOTS website (publiclaboratory.org)? Suggestions?
Measuring the effectiveness of DIY Science tools Guidelines for designing and implementing surveys and metrics for assessing the effectiveness and outcomes of DIY science initiatives and technologies.
Aerial mapping demonstration Chris F. will try to arrive in Cocodrie on Thursday afternoon in time to catch the afternoon breezes with a kite and fly the PLOTS NIR camera setup around LUMCON. We can try again during the weekend.
Creating a "Getting Started with PLOTS Tools" booklet
Ethics of participation
Wetland Plant Identification from Aerial and Satellite Photography Report back from the two 3-day USGS classes Scott is taking from the National Wetlands Research Center in Lafayette, LA--with reference to existing Delta wetlands maps in Mapknitter *Scott E * Pat C * Liz add your proposals here Alternatives, given helium shortage
Grassroots Mapping ForumThe Grassroots Mapping Forum will be used as a framework for documenting and continuing conversations started at the barnraising. We'll use Google Docs to take session notes and an interactive wall of sticky notes to plan out the next issue, set for printing in late November/early December. The planning page is here. LogisticsLUMCON, who are so generous to host us, has an online handbook for visitors. Check it out: http://www.lumcon.edu/facilities/MarineCenter/VisitorHandbook.pdf Lodging OptionsThe majority of people will be staying at the LUMCON facilities which has male and female dorms. They are $20 per night. If you are not comfortable spending the night in a dorm, the closest marina/lodge is TradeWinds: http://www.tradewindscocodrie.com/. If you are coming with a group of friends, there are also a number of "camp" options (which means large houses with enough sleeping room for 8+). There are also a number of lodging options in Houma (which is a bit of a distance away) and a couple of options in Chauvin. To prepay for lodging, use this button: FoodAll meals will be supplied by Public Lab. We'll plan on having breakfast each day prepared by LUMCON, sandwiches for lunch and cookouts on Friday and Saturday evenings. If you want to go out for some good cajun fare there are a few close-by places that Shannon will post information on. Travel to and from CocodrieYou should plan on flying into the New Orleans International airport. We'll begin by about 10 on Friday morning and end Sunday late afternoon so it might be safest to come in Thursday evening and leave either late Sunday evening or early Monday morning. There's a bunch of people in New Orleans with cars so the hope is that we'll just be able to transport people to and from New Orleans, but depending on flight schedules we might rent a transport van for the weekend or something. You of course are also welcome to rent your own car to explore the beautiful areas of Dulac, Chauvin and Houma in your free time. What you should bring(besides the usual) Mosquito repellant!!!! Sunscreen (we still have warm, sunny days in November) Mosquito repellant!!! (your friends in New Orleans will actually provide a whole bunch of options for repellant so you don't really have to worry about it) A good hat and sunglasses If you have rubber boots, bring them! A light rain jacket if it looks like rain that weekend Any materials that you want to bring for the barn raising sessions A Halloween costume if you will be in town for October 31 (email Liz to get in on the "Private Laboratory" lab coats) Supplies
WeatherLouisiana in November ranges from lows of 50 to highs in the mid-70s or so and we get about 4.5-5 inches of rain on average. A note on cell phonesCheck your cell phone coverage maps if you're worried about not being connected while in LUMCON. Verizon for sure reaches as should AT&T and Sprint, but those of you with TMobile and USCellular should check. There will be plenty of friendly folks with cell phones that you can use while you're here. |

Usability of the Balloon Mapping Toolkit we'll go through the planning process and brainstorm ways to improve the rate at which people share back their planning, mapping, and mapping outcomes.
Designing publiclaboratory.org to capture the context of tool use we'll look at Mapknitter, research notes and brainstorm improvements to encourage people to post more info on flight planning, why to make maps, and see what lessons we can draw for other tools like Spectral Workbench Introduction to MapKnitter and/or alternatives For those new to Mapknitter, we could align fresh images if we get any, or discuss advanced topics.
What is your experience with the PLOTS website (publiclaboratory.org)? Suggestions?
Measuring the effectiveness of DIY Science tools Guidelines for designing and implementing surveys and metrics for assessing the effectiveness and outcomes of DIY science initiatives and technologies.
Aerial mapping demonstration Chris F. will try to arrive in Cocodrie on Thursday afternoon in time to catch the afternoon breezes with a kite and fly the PLOTS NIR camera setup around LUMCON. We can try again during the weekend.

Wetland Plant Identification from Aerial and Satellite Photography Report back from the two 3-day USGS classes Scott is taking from the National Wetlands Research Center in Lafayette, LA--with reference to existing Delta wetlands maps in Mapknitter *Scott E * Pat C * Liz add your proposals here Alternatives, given helium shortage
Grassroots Mapping ForumThe Grassroots Mapping Forum will be used as a framework for documenting and continuing conversations started at the barnraising. We'll use Google Docs to take session notes and an interactive wall of sticky notes to plan out the next issue, set for printing in late November/early December. The planning page is here. LogisticsLUMCON, who are so generous to host us, has an online handbook for visitors. Check it out: http://www.lumcon.edu/facilities/MarineCenter/VisitorHandbook.pdf Lodging OptionsThe majority of people will be staying at the LUMCON facilities which has male and female dorms. They are $20 per night. If you are not comfortable spending the night in a dorm, the closest marina/lodge is TradeWinds: http://www.tradewindscocodrie.com/. If you are coming with a group of friends, there are also a number of "camp" options (which means large houses with enough sleeping room for 8+). There are also a number of lodging options in Houma (which is a bit of a distance away) and a couple of options in Chauvin. To prepay for lodging, use this button: FoodAll meals will be supplied by Public Lab. We'll plan on having breakfast each day prepared by LUMCON, sandwiches for lunch and cookouts on Friday and Saturday evenings. If you want to go out for some good cajun fare there are a few close-by places that Shannon will post information on. Travel to and from CocodrieYou should plan on flying into the New Orleans International airport. We'll begin by about 10 on Friday morning and end Sunday late afternoon so it might be safest to come in Thursday evening and leave either late Sunday evening or early Monday morning. There's a bunch of people in New Orleans with cars so the hope is that we'll just be able to transport people to and from New Orleans, but depending on flight schedules we might rent a transport van for the weekend or something. You of course are also welcome to rent your own car to explore the beautiful areas of Dulac, Chauvin and Houma in your free time. What you should bring(besides the usual) Mosquito repellant!!!! Sunscreen (we still have warm, sunny days in November) Mosquito repellant!!! (your friends in New Orleans will actually provide a whole bunch of options for repellant so you don't really have to worry about it) A good hat and sunglasses If you have rubber boots, bring them! A light rain jacket if it looks like rain that weekend Any materials that you want to bring for the barn raising sessions A Halloween costume if you will be in town for October 31 (email Liz to get in on the "Private Laboratory" lab coats) Supplies
WeatherLouisiana in November ranges from lows of 50 to highs in the mid-70s or so and we get about 4.5-5 inches of rain on average. A note on cell phonesCheck your cell phone coverage maps if you're worried about not being connected while in LUMCON. Verizon for sure reaches as should AT&T and Sprint, but those of you with TMobile and USCellular should check. There will be plenty of friendly folks with cell phones that you can use while you're here. |

(your friends in New Orleans will actually provide a whole bunch of options for repellant so you don't really have to worry about it) A good hat and sunglasses If you have rubber boots, bring them! A light rain jacket if it looks like rain that weekend Any materials that you want to bring for the barn raising sessions A Halloween costume if you will be in town for October 31 (email Liz to get in on the "Private Laboratory" lab coats) Supplies
WeatherLouisiana in November ranges from lows of 50 to highs in the mid-70s or so and we get about 4.5-5 inches of rain on average. A note on cell phonesCheck your cell phone coverage maps if you're worried about not being connected while in LUMCON. Verizon for sure reaches as should AT&T and Sprint, but those of you with TMobile and USCellular should check. There will be plenty of friendly folks with cell phones that you can use while you're here. |

In the spirit of bringing a community together to collectively raise a structure such as a barn, Public Lab comes together to develop tools, toolkits, supporting materials such as guides and tutorials, test the tools and develop new research directions and projects. Participants represent a wide range of interests from technologists and designers to social scientists and community organizers. This page will be used for information pertaining to barn raising activities including schedule, travel info, etc. RSVPSign-up formPlease fill out the required information on this form.

Hydrogen Sulfide Hack Session
Usability of the Balloon Mapping Toolkit we'll go through the planning process and brainstorm ways to improve the rate at which people share back their planning, mapping, and mapping outcomes.
Designing publiclaboratory.org to capture the context of tool use we'll look at Mapknitter, research notes and brainstorm improvements to encourage people to post more info on flight planning, why to make maps, and see what lessons we can draw for other tools like Spectral Workbench Introduction to MapKnitter and/or alternatives For those new to Mapknitter, we could align fresh images if we get any, or discuss advanced topics.
What is your experience with the PLOTS website (publiclaboratory.org)? Suggestions?
Measuring the effectiveness of DIY Science tools Guidelines for designing and implementing surveys and metrics for assessing the effectiveness and outcomes of DIY science initiatives and technologies.
Aerial mapping demonstration Chris F. will try to arrive in Cocodrie on Thursday afternoon in time to catch the afternoon breezes with a kite and fly the PLOTS NIR camera setup around LUMCON. We can try again during the weekend.

Wetland Plant Identification from Aerial and Satellite Photography Report back from the two 3-day USGS classes Scott is taking from the National Wetlands Research Center in Lafayette, LA--with reference to existing Delta wetlands maps in Mapknitter *Scott E * Pat C add your proposals here Alternatives, given helium shortage
Grassroots Mapping ForumThe Grassroots Mapping Forum will be used as a framework for documenting and continuing conversations started at the barnraising. We'll use Google Docs to take session notes and an interactive wall of sticky notes to plan out the next issue, set for printing in late November/early December. The planning page is here. LogisticsLodging OptionsThe majority of people will be staying at the LUMCON facilities which has male and female dorms. They are $20 per night. If you are not comfortable spending the night in a dorm, the closest marina/lodge is TradeWinds: http://www.tradewindscocodrie.com/. If you are coming with a group of friends, there are also a number of "camp" options (which means large houses with enough sleeping room for 8+). There are also a number of lodging options in Houma (which is a bit of a distance away) and a couple of options in Chauvin. To prepay for lodging, use this button: FoodAll meals will be supplied by Public Lab. We'll plan on having breakfast each day prepared by LUMCON, sandwiches for lunch and cookouts on Friday and Saturday evenings. If you want to go out for some good cajun fare there are a few close-by places that Shannon will post information on. Travel to and from CocodrieYou should plan on flying into the New Orleans International airport. We'll begin by about 10 on Friday morning and end Sunday late afternoon so it might be safest to come in Thursday evening and leave either late Sunday evening or early Monday morning. There's a bunch of people in New Orleans with cars so the hope is that we'll just be able to transport people to and from New Orleans, but depending on flight schedules we might rent a transport van for the weekend or something.

Usability of the Balloon Mapping Toolkit we'll go through the planning process and brainstorm ways to improve the rate at which people share back their planning, mapping, and mapping outcomes.
Designing publiclaboratory.org to capture the context of tool use we'll look at Mapknitter, research notes and brainstorm improvements to encourage people to post more info on flight planning, why to make maps, and see what lessons we can draw for other tools like Spectral Workbench Introduction to MapKnitter and/or alternatives For those new to Mapknitter, we could align fresh images if we get any, or discuss advanced topics.

Grassroots Mapping ForumThe Grassroots Mapping Forum will be used as a framework for documenting and continuing conversations started at the barnraising. We'll use Google Docs to take session notes and an interactive wall of sticky notes to plan out the next issue, set for printing in late November/early December. The planning page is here. LogisticsLodging OptionsThe majority of people will be staying at the LUMCON facilities which has male and female dorms. They are $20 per night. If you are not comfortable spending the night in a dorm, the closest marina/lodge is TradeWinds: http://www.tradewindscocodrie.com/. If you are coming with a group of friends, there are also a number of "camp" options (which means large houses with enough sleeping room for 8+). There are also a number of lodging options in Houma (which is a bit of a distance away) and a couple of options in Chauvin. To prepay for lodging, use this button: FoodAll meals will be supplied by Public Lab. We'll plan on having breakfast each day prepared by LUMCON, sandwiches for lunch and cookouts on Friday and Saturday evenings. If you want to go out for some good cajun fare there are a few close-by places that Shannon will post information on. Travel to and from CocodrieYou should plan on flying into the New Orleans International airport. We'll begin by about 10 on Friday morning and end Sunday late afternoon so it might be safest to come in Thursday evening and leave either late Sunday evening or early Monday morning. There's a bunch of people in New Orleans with cars so the hope is that we'll just be able to transport people to and from New Orleans, but depending on flight schedules we might rent a transport van for the weekend or something. You of course are also welcome to rent your own car to explore the beautiful areas of Dulac, Chauvin and Houma in your free time. What you should bring(besides the usual) Mosquito repellant!!!! Sunscreen (we still have warm, sunny days in November) Mosquito repellant!!! (your friends in New Orleans will actually provide a whole bunch of options for repellant so you don't really have to worry about it) A good hat and sunglasses If you have rubber boots, bring them! A light rain jacket if it looks like rain that weekend Any materials that you want to bring for the barn raising sessions A Halloween costume if you will be in town for October 31 (email Liz to get in on the "Private Laboratory" lab coats) WeatherLouisiana in November ranges from lows of 50 to highs in the mid-70s or so and we get about 4.5-5 inches of rain on average. A note on cell phonesCheck your cell phone coverage maps if you're worried about not being connected while in LUMCON. Verizon for sure reaches as should AT&T and Sprint, but those of you with TMobile and USCellular should check. There will be plenty of friendly folks with cell phones that you can use while you're here. |

In the spirit of bringing a community together to collectively raise a structure such as a barn, Public Lab comes together to develop tools, toolkits, supporting materials such as guides and tutorials, test the tools and develop new research directions and projects. Participants represent a wide range of interests from technologists and designers to social scientists and community organizers. This page will be used for information pertaining to barn raising activities including schedule, travel info, etc. RSVPSign-up formPlease fill out the required information on this form.

We'll begin by about 10 on Friday morning and end Sunday late afternoon so it might be safest to come in Thursday evening and leave either late Sunday evening or early Monday morning. There's a bunch of people in New Orleans with cars so the hope is that we'll just be able to transport people to and from New Orleans, but depending on flight schedules we might rent a transport van for the weekend or something. You of course are also welcome to rent your own car to explore the beautiful areas of Dulac, Chauvin and Houma in your free time. What you should bring(besides the usual) Mosquito repellant!!!! Sunscreen (we still have warm, sunny days in November) Mosquito repellant!!! (your friends in New Orleans will actually provide a whole bunch of options for repellant so you don't really have to worry about it) A good hat and sunglasses If you have rubber boots, bring them! A light rain jacket if it looks like rain that weekend Any materials that you want to bring for the barn raising sessions A Halloween costume if you will be in town for October 31 (email Liz to get in on the "Private Laboratory" lab coats) WeatherLouisiana in November ranges from lows of 50 to highs in the mid-70s or so and we get about 4.5-5 inches of rain on average. A note on cell phonesCheck your cell phone coverage maps if you're worried about not being connected while in LUMCON. Verizon for sure reaches as should AT&T and Sprint, but those of you with TMobile and USCellular should check. There will be plenty of friendly folks with cell phones that you can use while you're here. |

Dates: November 2-4, 2012 Location: Cocodrie, LA at LUMCON Info on Cocodrie: Cocodrie on Wikipedia Information on the 2011 barnraising A human contact if you have logistical questions: Shannon.. shannon@publiclabroatory.org or 504.239.4642 What is a Public Lab barn raising?This is the closest thing we have to a Public Lab conference -- but with an emphasis on "doing stuff together" rather than just presenting/talking. In the spirit of bringing a community together to collectively raise a structure such as a barn, Public Lab comes together to develop tools, toolkits, supporting materials such as guides and tutorials, test the tools and develop new research directions and projects. Participants represent a wide range of interests from technologists and designers to social scientists and community organizers. This page will be used for information pertaining to barn raising activities including schedule, travel info, etc. RSVPSign-up formPlease fill out the required information on this form.

Extracting and testing soil/water with spectrometers and lasers
Starting a Public Lab chapter
Crowdfunding: raising money and shipping open hardware prototypes
Curriculum development for environmental monitoring tools what workshop and lesson plans would help communities integrate PLOTS tools?
Hydrogen Sulfide Hack Session
Usability of the Balloon Mapping Toolkit we'll go through the planning process and brainstorm ways to improve the rate at which people share back their planning, mapping, and mapping outcomes.
Designing publiclaboratory.org to capture the context of tool use we'll look at Mapknitter, research notes and brainstorm improvements to encourage people to post more info on flight planning, why to make maps, and see what lessons we can draw for other tools like Spectral Workbench Introduction to MapKnitter and/or alternatives For those new to Mapknitter, we could align fresh images if we get any, or discuss advanced topics.
What is your experience with the PLOTS website (publiclaboratory.org)? Suggestions?
Measuring the effectiveness of DIY Science tools Guidelines for designing and implementing surveys and metrics for assessing the effectiveness and outcomes of DIY science initiatives and technologies.
Aerial mapping demonstration Chris F. will try to arrive in Cocodrie on Thursday afternoon in time to catch the afternoon breezes with a kite and fly the PLOTS NIR camera setup around LUMCON. We can try again during the weekend.
Creating a "Getting Started with PLOTS Tools" booklet
Ethics of participation
Wetland Plant Identification from Aerial and Satellite Photography Report back from the two 3-day USGS classes Scott is taking from the National Wetlands Research Center in Lafayette, LA--with reference to existing Delta wetlands maps in Mapknitter *Scott E add your proposals here Grassroots Mapping ForumThe Grassroots Mapping Forum will be used as a framework for documenting and continuing conversations started at the barnraising. We'll use Google Docs to take session notes and an interactive wall of sticky notes to plan out the next issue, set for printing in late November/early December. The planning page is here. LogisticsLodging OptionsThe majority of people will be staying at the LUMCON facilities which has male and female dorms. They are $20 per night. If you are not comfortable spending the night in a dorm, the closest marina/lodge is TradeWinds: http://www.tradewindscocodrie.com/. If you are coming with a group of friends, there are also a number of "camp" options (which means large houses with enough sleeping room for 8+). There are also a number of lodging options in Houma (which is a bit of a distance away) and a couple of options in Chauvin. To prepay for lodging, use this button: FoodAll meals will be supplied by Public Lab. We'll plan on having breakfast each day prepared by LUMCON, sandwiches for lunch and cookouts on Friday and Saturday evenings.
