Hi, Gergana,
Thanks for posting this -- it's huge!
Apologies for not making it to the Makerspace meeting.
I attended the IMC Programming Committee meeting on Saturday, took notes
and returned them to
Gary Storm and Danielle Chynoweth for elaboration. I expect that I will
receive the final minutes back
from them soon and will forward them to the Makerspace.
They distributed a hardcopy 6-point draft of the roles and
responsibilities for the Programming Committee.
It is basically to communicate between the Working Groups and the IMC Board.
There are a couple of points relating to the Makerspace specifically
that I wanted to pass on right away.
Rachel L. Storm suggested a Makerspace vs. Fab Lab Geek/Maker competition
"How to organize your community against Drone surveillance" - a workshop
proposal for
the Allied Media Conference by Brian Dolinar.
See: UAV Identification Kit 001 by James Bridle

"...The kit was produced using 3D modeling software and desktop 3D
printing technologies..."

We should be able to "self-publish" a "friend-or-foe"-styled drone
identification kit using the 3D printer.
Cheers,
