IntroductionHello greater Boston and parts of New England, After the 2013 Barnraising down in New Orleans, it seems we have a pretty hopping community of people in New England and we all want excuses to hang out some more in the future. Instead of a barnraising, we might raise a toolshed. The focus isn't on tools exactly, it's more that toolsheds are smaller than barns. We could change to deck building, outhouse raising, or anything else really. Suggestions for better names may be added right here.
Theme and TopicsThe general theme for this coming toolshed raising seems to be water quality. While that topic is very large, it may yet exclude some people who might otherwise have something fun to talk about. Free association counts! Water quality is about water which makes up 45-75% of the human body which can be injured by air pollution which bonds lightly to water. So air pollution could, by free association, be worked in. Please add to this list as desired!
Maybe other people have some big plans and they are looking for help? They can add their ideas to the list above! We can also have celebrity panels! Someone will need to know some celebrities, and we'll also need some subjects for discussion! SchedulingCome and GoFor a come and go style meetup, we might want to allocate two or three days with morning and afternoon schedules. It has been suggested we do a come-and-go style meeting soon. TimeBased on folks wanting the Toolshed Raising before Thanksgiving and constraints of Parts and Crafts and p.irateship, some weekends and times have been tossed out to choose from. Each proposed day will have three session times: morning (8am-11am), afternoon (noon-3pm), and evening (4pm-7pm). Please check whatever works for you. We'll only have two sessions, but voting will help decide which two should be used. There's also Thanksgiving day as a choice. Check that if you'd prefer some time after Thanksgiving and/or the holidays in general. Vote for your favorite times here: http://doodle.com/r3v7dwbhqsdnf5k9 Locations proposed
RetreatFor a retreat style meetup, a bunch of folks would get stuck together for the entire duration of the event. It has been suggested we do a retreat style meeting in early 2014. TimeSometime after December 1st. Locations proposed
PlanningFor now, planning is being done via the plots-boston mailing list. We should probably create some kind of democratic schedule polling tool, like this (open source) http://primelife.ercim.eu/results/opensource/63-dudle or this (commercial web service): http://doodle.com/ Workshop ResultsHere is a page describing the Thermal Fishing Bob work we did on Sunday 11/25/13 http://publiclab.org/wiki/thermal-fishing-bob-plots-boston-toolshed-raising |

Hello greater Boston and parts of New England, After this past Barnraising down in New Orleans, it seems we have a pretty hopping community of people in New England and we all want excuses to hang out some more in the future. Instead of a barnraising, I was thinking we might raise a toolshed. The focus isn't on tools exactly, it's more that toolsheds are smaller than barns. I'm open to better names. I'm going to try to cover some of the different interests found our geographical area. My memory is a bit weak, so please add to this list and forgive me if I've forgotten something.
Okay my memory is pretty much burnt out recalling even that much, but I know there is so much more! My thought is that we schedule some weekend and some place. People can come and go. We'll try to figure out a schedule prior to the weekend using some unconference planning pre toolshed raising. Due to impending holiday travel craziness, we might put off the toolshed raising until after January. You know, when its nice and cold and it is a terrible time to travel! People like Sara, Will, Jeff, and Katie can talk about the things they do. Show and tell style. Maybe other people have some big plans and they are looking for help? Sara might be a combination: she's got a tool, but she is also looking for help. We can also have celebrity panels! Someone will need to know some celebrities, and we'll also need some subjects for discussion! If it is indeed very cold, maybe we can have a sustainable fireplace and locally grown hot cocoa? I'm sort of out of my element on the environmental stuff if you can't tell. In fact, I'm being terribly unhelpful, so that's all I'm going to write for now. We should probably create some kind of democratic schedule polling tool, like this (open source) http://primelife.ercim.eu/results/opensource/63-dudle or this (commercial web service): http://doodle.com/ |

I'm going to try to cover some of the different interests found our geographical area. My memory is a bit weak, so please add to this list and forgive me if I've forgotten something. * Sara has got some electronics that do mix with water to measure heat waste in water sources. * Will likes to go on a lot of trips to map all the New Englands. * Jeff has a bunch of tools that we've probably all heard about given that this is a PublicLab list, but maybe we haven't learned how to use them or even got to touch them. * Katie uses aforementioned tools for educational purposes with young'uns. Okay my memory is pretty much burnt out recalling even that much, but I know there is so much more! My thought is that we schedule some weekend and some place. People can come and go.
