Hello, everyone!
GOSH 2017 was an inspiring moment for me and is beautiful to see this inspiration get together again. I am so happy to meet a lot of people again and make new friends.
My name is Leonardo and I am from Porto Alegre, south of Brasil. Since 2012 I collaborate in CTA, a center/laboratory/community to promote new forms of production and dissemination of knowledge through free and open source technologies, citizen science, open science and with focus on scientific instrumentation.
In CTA, I am responsible for the Estações Meteorológica Modulares (EMM) project, which is a project to promote collaborative/community/citizen monitoring of the environment mainly based on school communities. Recently, I lauched a Community Guide to the EMM project to facilitate individuals and communities to form this collaborative monitoring network.
I also collaborate in EITCHA, the Escola Itinerante de Tecnologia Cidadã Hacker, an initiative to promote technological emancipation and the hacker culture in schools through activities/workshops about free and open source technologies.
I am interested in sharing our experiences from CTA, our recent successes and challenges, and talk about the integration I perceive is getting stronger in Latin America since GOSH 2017. TECNOx is an event with goals aligned to GOSH and next edition will be in Brasil (oh yeah!). I believe GOSH 2018 can be a moment to get in resonance, understand how we are in the latin american movement, learn with other regional movements around the World, and how we are all implementing the Roadmap in each context or not and why.
We are already planning Collaborative Fabrication Meetings in pre-GOSH, to the ones interested please join this thread!
Also excited to the pos-GOSH Public Lab Banrising.
Already want to meet each one in this thread!
A warm hug or the lovely greeting that suits the best for you!
Salve!
