Board
Meeting
May 20, 2001
(Brent) great, since we are all here, I call the meeting to
order.
(Jurian) right, for those who can't figure out how to work with the
IRC client, there is now a webpage that lets you chat here (if you know the
password) http://home.kabelfoon.nl/~jurian/chat/board.html
(Brent) thank you
Jurian, it will be easier to connect.
(Jurian) no problem :)
(Brent) The
meeting has been called to order
(Brent) Item 1, Minutes of the last meeting,
any discussion or comments?
(Jurian) none here
(Gerard) none
here
(Mary) No comments here
(Barry) Nope
(Roger) No comments
here.
(Jan) None
(Brent) Good, then the minutes are ratified as
correct.
(Nancy) None here for I and Shirley
(Brent) Moving on to Item 2
Review project list...does everyone have a copy of my modified list? lets begin
with a discussion of that.
(Brent) Toni is joining....
(Nancy) My comment
is that there are a number of projects STILL on your list which I don't think
should be there.
(Nancy) I'm talking about chicks on worms, on foot video,
wetlands as food, etc.
(Nancy) Many of these just came about because someone
1. had a site, 2. was curious, 3. offered their time, and the like
(Nancy)
Shirley says "practically all of the video projects can go because we don't have
the time or resources for them.
(Brent) OK, one by one...
(Brent) Do we
not consider Videos Educational, or is it a matter of resources?
(Nancy) For
instance, the video projects COULD be one project, saying 1. if volunteers
provide content, we may distribute it at cost if deemed worthy, etc.
(Nancy)
This is what in fact has happened in the past, Geson: did it and THEN we
rewarded him and distribute this, Joel: is now coming forth with the 30 minute
PS documentary of my lecture and if worthy, this will go onto PUblic Access TV
and we might distribute it.
(Nancy) Videos CAN be educational, or
garbage!
(Brent) So would we not list these as a #2, Videos needing a project
site, if funding became available?
(Barry) I believe so
(Nancy) If the
project stated, reviewed and determined by the board to be worthwhile to offer
to the public, then it is a comprehensive project.
(Nancy) In other words,
what if someone came forward with video material on carbon arc lighting, and it
deemed it wonderful and distributed upon request at cost.
(Nancy) Do we have
to have a project for every POSSIBLE video just in case? Lets just have ONE
project, with an open door.
(Brent) I see, list only projects NOW that are in
progress, and later let a person approach the board with a PROSPECTIVE
video?
(Barry) A video library?
(Brent) I agree, group them all together
as one listing.....
(Jurian) Having just one project titled "video's" makes
more sense as a lot of smaller ones
(Nancy) Brent, I'd make it even more
concise: ONE project called videos, and list those in production, those in
process, and state our open door.
(Brent) OK, good idea...I'm crossing the
individual ones off my list.
(Nancy) Also, many of the videos we list now,
are dead.
(Nancy) Shirley says "Off grid energy and windmill/hydro should be
consolidated if we're going to keep them."
(Nancy) Shirley says "Heat sources
should be dumped. Root cellars should be dumped. Etc.
(Brent) Hmm....do the
same with the Energy Projects? group them....good idea also
(Jan) As a
general comments, we now have less than 2 years to go. No grand plans will make
it within this time frame unless somebody dedicates full time to this, as was
the case when Ron was on-site at Nancy's house
(Nancy) Maybe we could have a
project called "labs", listing those we support or other places were research
can be done.
(Brent) as in enengr labs, video labs, etc?
(Brent)
energy
(Nancy) For instance, we have the hyroponics lab and it resulted in
the nifty discovery that home-made hydroponic solution is a snap - otherwise an
unknown fact.
(Jan) For the time to come, we must concentrate on getting the
word out as prio 1, and building the base for people to start preparations as
no. 2. The booklet is a good example so far
(Nancy) For instance, I'm
offering my marsh/pond as a wetlands research lab, though we now have nothing
happening there.
(Nancy) We may have, from the public or universities, offers
of lab space and help, and we could list this.
(Nancy) Shirley says "This
could also apply to batteries project."
(Brent) University lab space would be
wonderful.
(Brent) Batteries would fall under energy labs, yes?
(Barry)
Yes
(Nancy) Brent, I'd leave it "labs" in general, as sometimes they mesh an
merge.
(Mary) Perhaps we should offer our assistance to finding lab space
after a project has been deemed high priority.
(Jan) I agree all energy
projects should be grouped into one. The off-grid project was my idea, but
didn't materialize
(Brent) But the general "off grid" idea is a good
one.
(Jurian) yes, and a very important one as well
(Jan) Since DC will
have to be the main solution for post-PS energy, batteries should be included in
the Energy project
(Mary) With the "energy crisis" now happening, we may find
everyone looking for solutions!
(Brent) Nancy, would you group "chicks on
worms" in with Hydro, aqua, algae?
(Nancy) Shirley says "Do we really need
the off-grid energy project now. Much has been written on these things in the TT
web site, and there is plenty of documentation out there. The booklet is
pointing to a few examples of how this can work, and it is also pointing to
sources which people can query."
(Nancy) Brent, I'd leave that NOT as a
project but as a nuance in the worm/hydo lab where synergy is being
explored.
(Brent) OK, very good, Nancy
(Nancy) Truly, in my opinion, labs
should NOT be exploring known technology but exploring something new, or new
combos
(Nancy) This includes the lab in my basement, I'm not trying to defend
it, and want a strick line drawn so we don't digress.
(Jan) The off-grid
project was ment to help create wind-mills that can run a local AC grid
directly. This failed, as I decribed in a mail on the Inc list
(Nancy) The
only things I know that were/are unknow were 1. home-made hydro solution, 2.
carbon arc as light-bult home-built
(Nancy) There may be more, oh, just
rememered, manufacture Vitamin C
(Nancy) This is IT. We should not be doing
projects where folks just want to put known technology together!
(Brent)
Agreed, no "practicing" useing our funds
(Brent) So...the list will be
getting even smaller!
(Nancy) I think the labs project should, perhaps, list
what we think are unknowns as I stated, but also list sites and hands willing to
help!
(Nancy) For instance, if a university offers expertise, and another
site, a farm, offers a site, we could put them togehter.
(Nancy) I think some
of the project that are getting dumped on here, might be in the category of
volunteer documentation!
(Nancy) For instance, if Barry discovered how much
garden is required to feed a family, this is volunteer info, but NOT a
proejct.
(Barry) Not a TT-project....
(Brent) But valuable information,
Barry!
(Nancy) Educational: booklet, servers spewing web or other content,
videos at cost or whatever
(Nancy) Lab: existing, known issues to be
researched, offers
(Barry) Can I ask a silly question about the
labs?
(Jurian) I don't see why not
(Roger) Only unasked questions are
silly--ask...
(Barry) Do we have university space for lab issues, or is alab
considered a place where somebody is doing research?
(Brent) I think Nancy is
still listing her groups
(Barry) Sorry.
(Barry) Go ahead...
(Brent) no
problem....a good question, Barry
(Nancy) Shirley says "We have basically
paralyzed ourselves with concentrating on so many projects at once. And while
they all seemed valid at the time they were begun, we have now discovered just
how much documentation is available."
(Nancy) Shirley say "We should be
REALLY concentrating on things like the short wave as internet project, which is
at least something that we do know something about."
(Roger) But would the
documentation have been found if there were not a project or idea for one to
begin with?
(Brent) Good point Shirley.
(Barry) Ah, funny you should
mention that verysubject....
(Barry) er- project
(Nancy) A lab is here
research is being done.
(Barry) OK
(Nancy) CAN be at a university, but
since corporations have them too, this is not just a university term.
(Barry)
Do we have access to some place where say a shortwave internet could be worked
on?
(Jan) Nancy - here (meaning your site) or where??
(Barry)
where
(Nancy) Roger, the documentation was gained for TT site in general, NOT
from nonprofit member as a result of our projects.
(Jan) Barry, we will need
many sites equipped for international HF communication
(Nancy) Barry, short
wave internet is in existence, just needs to be encouraged, like seed
growing.
(Barry) Correct, but I think there's a basic msg trafficing issue
that can be worked at one lab
(Jurian) short wave requires at least 3
locations to do effective testing, at least in my opinion..
(Nancy) Jan, I'm
lost, my site has a lab, if that' what you mean.
(Roger) What I meant was
that the idea for a project may spawn a discovery of documentation that covers
the topic well enough. I do not think we have paralyzed ourselves.
(Jan)
Nancy, it was you message where you wrote "A lab is here research is being
done"
(Barry) Folks, let's revisit this internet question later.
(Brent)
Good point, barry
(Nancy) Jan, here=where, typo
(Jan) Barry, time
permitting, I will try to lead the pack on the HF communication issue. Just need
my Morse code before I can go on the air...
(Roger) Obviously we have
projects that should be removed from our list as there is plenty of
documentation out there (and on our site).
(Nancy) My understanding from
endless Ron Darby discussion was that there is NOTHING new to be discovered,
only getting the general public to USE this packet relay effectively.
(Nancy)
The network he envisioned was getting a HUMAN network in place, functioning, so
that after the shift, it would pick up and WORK.
(Nancy) As it, so few people
know how to DO packet relay that it would not occur!
(Barry) Nancy - I beg to
disagree, but will discuss later
(Nancy) So, this is, in my opinon, a project
like seed growing, where we encourage and support the public doing a good
thing.
(Brent) So, we(I) will rewrite the Projects List in lab groups, with
subheaders for issues needed, or ongoing research.
(Jan) Barry, please use
the TT Radio list for any such discussions. Viewpoints are welcome!
(Barry)
OK
(Nancy) Barry, NOW is the time to state is research is needed for packet
relay!
(Barry) Guess I should've said that from the get go :)
(Roger) I
move that we table the project list discussion in favor of Brent's
rewrite/regrouping and continue with the next agenda item.
(Nancy) What is
it! This is to be the final project discussion, so please please speak
up!
(Barry) Was that directed at me Nancy?
(Nancy) I move we continue this
discussion which is months old!
(Nancy) Shirley seconds my motion!
(Barry)
Agree
(Brent) agreed
(Jurian) agreed
(Roger) Well folks, sit back and
get comfee, this will take awhile.
(Nancy) Barry, yes, if you know of an
unknown, in short wave radio, then it should be front and center in the
research!
(Nancy) What is it???????
(Roger) Is this a project discussion
issue or a short wave radio issue?
(Barry) Very well. I think we need to
incorporate the msg trafficking capability
(Barry) of a regular network into
a SW network
(Jurian) Roger: both, as short wave IS a project
(Roger) Ah,
I see. I thought we were discussing prioritization of the project
list.
(Brent) Do you have a proposal on how to do this, Barry?
(Barry)
They are similar, but there are differences and as far as I can tell, there's
not been any research on the subject
(Nancy) Barry, my understanding from Ron
is that msg traffic (forwarding) DOES occur in short wave.
(Barry) True, but
it really is a subject for outside this mtg.
(Nancy) In essence, individual
short wave sites HOLD the e-mail or whatever, and forward it.
(Nancy) This
takes time, operates like an old BBS, but it is in place.
(Roger) I agree
Barry. This is not about priorities!
(Barry) Tell you what. Let me gin it up
and get to you later.
(Nancy) Will what you're seeking be built, and
incorporated around the world, in time?
(Barry) Don't know. I couldn't fund
it myself
(Nancy) The short wave project utilizes what everyman can/will have
in his hands.
(Jurian) we have to use HAM tech. that is already in place, or
we can forget about it going to work out..
(Nancy) So it's practical, can
happen, if we get a few hundred EXISTING folks on our human network, then we've
got the communications going.
(Gerard) I agree with Jurian ...
(Nancy) If
we require them all to have something NEW, then this won't work.
(Brent)
Since we already have shortwave as a project, could you write up an addition
barry, as a subhead under the Shortwave Lab?
(Roger) It seems to me that we
have moved away from the agenda. This is no longer a discussion of prioritizing
the list. Can we get back on topic, please?
(Barry) OK, let's leave this for
now....
(Nancy) The Internet today has msg forwarding, but this uses
satellites, land lines, and power grids. Short wave does not have these same
facilities.
(Jurian) Agreed.. this is too extensive to go into right
now..
(Barry) Brent - yes
(Jan) The "Internet replacement" will not be
anything like today's Internet, but a way to secure post-PS communication. The
more TTers that get proficient in Ham radio, the better. We will also need to
get "ordinary" Ham operators into this, if their equipment survives the
PS
(Brent) Roger: point of order...it was never abput priortizing the list,
its a bout creating a new one. We ARE on topic.
(Jan) Nothing new, just
something we have to prepare. Let's continue on this on TT Radio
(Roger)
Brent, all this discussion isn't about making a list. It is about the short wave
project alone. We need to move...
(Brent) barry why not write up a proposed
addition and present it next meeting, to be added to the existing shortwave
lab?
(Jan) It is important to note though, that this will be THE post-PS
communication method, how we can stay in touch, help each others etc.
(Barry) Brent - again yes
(Nancy) So if we have the Educational category,
and the Lab category, do seed team and SW radio go into a Supported Activities
kind of category?
(Nancy) Or maybe Support, for short.
(Brent) Hm..as in
Support Lab? or Ongoing Support Lab?
(Nancy) In both cases, we've had donor
(John Kelso for seed, Anoonymous for short wave) and accepted their funds as
designated.
(Nancy) Shirley is verbally detailing what could be dumped into
the hydroponics lab: worms, chicks, fish, algae, aqua, etc.
(Nancy) Now, this
is not to say that ANOTHER lab, run by, for instance, Stan in Kansas, could not
ALSO have fish, chicks, etc
(Brent) Yes, tell her that I'm doing the same
thing on my print out
(Brent) we could simply list the other lab in Kansas as
a subhead under Hydro/Aqua
(Nancy) Shirley says "Light alternatives and
batteries can go into labs, on the off-chance that we find an expert, or that an
expert comes to us, who can deal with new ways to preserve the lift of
batteries, etc."
(Nancy) Yes, maybe batteries HAS an unknown, as there has
been lots of discussion on what to use as a sub for sulpheric acid,
etc.
(Brent) Or someone has a basement or garage lab to do
research
(Nancy) Dirt batteries and the like is just an example to get folks
thinking, not practical.
(Brent) true, as are potato batteries!
(Brent)
:-)
(Nancy) Brent, yes, as they may have the same components, but be tackling
different issues.
(Nancy) The root cellar/storage was a demo project, and
should be dumped. Nothing new!
(Brent) True, I had it as a number 4
anyway....
(Mary) agreed
(Jurian) agreed
(Nancy) The current list is a
combo of 1. original thinking on nonprofit startup, 2. my thought that my home
could be used to demo stuff, 3. Ron's thinking on what he's like to have at a
survival site, 4. folks offering to document this or that.
(Gerard)
agree
(Nancy) A real mis-mash!
(Mary) Brent or Nancy, can you recap where
we are on the list?
(Mary) Project list.
(Nancy) Brent's to-do, I need to
breath :-)
(Brent) So, to recap, I will rewrite the list in groups of Labs,
with subheads, and it will be a done deal. Item 2 Mary
(Brent) however, if
there are any minor modifications to be made, it can allways be discussed
here.
(Mary) OK, i think.
(Brent) Agreed? any more thoughts before we move
on?
(Nancy) Brent, all are labs?
(Nancy) What about the booklet, etc. or
support activities.
(Brent) Nancy, no (more)
(Nancy) Ok, you mean per the
discussion we've had here.
(Brent) Educational Lab, Off grid energy Lab,
Ongoing support lab...did I leave any out?
(Nancy) Should we vote on this?
Giving support to the general slash and burn, etc.?
(Nancy) Also, Shirley
says "the concept of education/labs/support with subheadings".
(Roger) We
should vote on the final list, I think.
(Brent) All with sub groups that
apply to that area
(Barry) Shortwave falls where?
(Barry) ongoing
support?
(Nancy) Barry, Support, I think.
(Brent) Hmm...Yes, ongoing
support
(Barry) Thanks :)
(Mary) Lets wait until next meeting (again,
sigh) so we can see the revised slash and burn.
(Nancy) Unless you can come
up with something that needs to be researched, it's support.
(Brent) Roger,
did you make a motion to vote?
(Jan) SHould short wave be ongoing support?
Isn't that the current admin like the Linux servers?
(Roger) No! I think we
should wait and vote on the final draft!
(Nancy) Jan, my understanding is
that servers are an educational assist, and short wave is support like seed
growing.
(Barry) I agree with Roger!
(Nancy) We're supporting a VERY
worthwhile activity of the public.
(Jan) OK
(Nancy) I move we approve the
general recategorizing into Educational, Labs, and Support
activities.
(Nancy) I further move that we approve the final list at next
meeting, after a month of discussion on tt-list.
(Brent) Second?
(Nancy)
Shirley says, "I second this motion".
(Jan) I second Nancy's
proposal
(Jan) er, motion
(Mary) I vote yes to the motion
(Roger) How
can we approve a final list prior to viewing it?
(Brent) We have a motion and
a second, all infavor vote yes, opposed, no
(Mary) not final, just
recategorizing
(Toni) yes
(Jan) Yes
(Nancy) Nancy Yes, Shirley
Yes.
(Brent) Yes
(Jurian) yes
(Gerard) yes
(Brent) The motion
passes
(Roger) Excuse me folks.
(Nancy) Roger, my motion states that the 3
categories are being approved, not the final list.
(Nancy) It stated that the
final list should be next month, after a month of discussion.
(Roger) You
said " I further move that we approve the final list at next meeting, after a
month of discussion on tt-list."
(Roger) Which can be interpreted to main an
approval before the fact.
(Roger) main=mean
(Brent) We can approve with
modifications, Roger
(Brent) The board won't approve if they don
(Roger)
Well, you stated the motion passes without my vote, so there you have
it.
(Brent) don't like it.
(Brent) My apologies, what is your vote,
Roger?
(Roger) At least 3 people were agreeing with me prior to the motion
that we should wait to vote until after the list was produced.
(Roger) Count
me as abstaining since you already have done so by not waiting for my
vote.
(Jan) Roger, I understood the vote primarily as accepting the
restructuring, and that the actual list will be up for votres next
meeting
(Jan) votres = votes
(Mary) My understanding also.
(Brent) Mine
too; moving on to item 3 ongoing projects Booklet update....
(Roger) Well,
that's what I would have voted on, but the clarification was not forthcoming
prior to the votecall. I asked for clarificaiton but only received it after the
motion passed.
(Brent) Your abstention has been noted Roger...and again my
apologies.......
(Brent) moving along to item 3.......
(Mary) Shirley is
plowing throught the last of book and I will be receiving additional pages this
coming week from Nancy.
(Mary) So until that time, I have nothing new to
report.
(Nancy) My comments .. (more)
(Nancy) We are doing several things
in parallel, to save time.
(Nancy) Shirley is working on the last of the high
tech energy project, and some that I've categorized into Community issues -
short wave, self defense, and she's included transport in this.
(Nancy) The
only parts of the booklet not yet done, are these and the TOC, of
course.
(Nancy) All the rest has been sent to Mary as master copies, and she,
in parallel, is testing them in copies.
(Nancy) Some/most of the small
graphics came out muddy, and if they did not carry content, I removed them
becuase of this.
(Nancy) So, we have this all in parallel, and I estimate it
might take until mid-summer to be in production.
(Nancy) Shirley also wonders
if we should include other topics, like Computers, DC va AC, and Cars as
Shelters, and more on Hydro/Aquaponics.
(Nancy) Shirley says "Should I pursue
these, or leave it as is?"
(Nancy) I think that the booklet will be a work in
process, subject to change, so if Shirley thinks it worthwhile, she can at least
draft stuff up.
(Nancy) It will never be in granite, my thinking.
(Nancy)
I and Shirley are done with our comments on the booklet.
(Brent) True,
additions can be added in future printings....but do we want to add those three
topics for this printing?
(Nancy) Shirley says "no" and I agree.
(Roger) I
think Shirley's discretion on this is more than sufficient.
(Nancy) I believe
that Mary is only going to copy x number of booklets, so change is
easy.
(Roger) She has been doing quite well thus far.
(Mary) That is
correct. 10 at a time unless lots of copies ordered.
(Nancy) I concur, Roger.
Ron and I used to think that a TEAM if experts, per subject, would be needed, or
at least an expert per subject.
(Nancy) Here's little Shirley, plunging in
...
(Brent) So, we would add them next printing then.....OK Do we have orders
placed yet?
(Nancy) Mary, just-in-time inventory :-)
(Brent) Shirley, you
are doing a super human job at this! :-)
(Jan) I think maybe Computers and DC
vs AC could be interesting. Nancy, could you ask SHirley what she was planning
to do on these items?
(Nancy) Brent, no, just starting to get 800 number
queries.
(Brent) OK
(Jurian) computers on DC is quite hard..
(Nancy)
HOWEVER, we have NOT put this on the web site as a offering, so no one knows to
place an order yet!
(Brent) What was our initial printing?
(Brent)
Quantity?
(Nancy) Our Operations link lists: seed team, Geson's TV clip, and
that's about all.
(Mary) Brent, I am doing only 10 at a time, with supplies
for 100 on hand.
(Nancy) Shirley says "Jan, things that can only run on AC,
and also that AC can be put at some distance from a source, whereas DC can't,
which may be an issue in some settlements."
(Nancy) Shirley says "As regards
computers, just a general piece on how they can be operated after the
PS".
(Jurian) I doubt a general piece will be enough..
(Brent) Just ot get
people thinking, and working. Thansk Mary, 100 initially should be
fine!
(Brent) Shirley cna get feedback later, since it will be an addition
next printing.
(Jan) Shirley/Nancy, I think this is should be worked on for
the next printing of the booklet. As Jurian says, it might not be all that
simple, and may need some more discussions & review before
finalization
(Brent) agreed, any more comments on the current
book?
(Nancy) Jan/Brent, Shirley agrees.
(Brent) OK, moving along.... did
everyone read Jans email regarding the offgrid Project?
(Toni) yes
(Mary)
yes
(Nancy) Shirley and I have both read and understood his
e-mail.
(Roger) yep
(Gerard) yes i saw it
(Jurian) yes
(Barry)
yes
(Brent) OK, so that item is self explanitory, moving along then
(Jan)
Not much more I can add then.
(Jan) ?
(Roger) heh
(Roger)
heh=hehe
(Brent) No problem Jan....:-)
(Brent) Next up, Roger & Toni
compiling a list and sending out letters to other organizations.
(Toni) I
have a list of about 75 organizations
(Brent) great!
(Roger)
Wow.
(Toni) I have been rtesearching them and emailing a few.
(Brent) Any
response yet Toni?
(Toni) However, I am finding that most are not for profit,
historical groups
(Toni) they are not offering much that Seed Savers Exchange
doesn't already have.
(Toni) I am still doing the research, which is
difficult, as the inet is now off limits at my job.
(Brent) Do you feel it is
still worth persueing?
(Toni) My feeling is that if we need any varieties
that we do not already have, it may be better
(Toni) to order them from
Decorah, Iowa
(Toni) but I will keep doing the research and email.
(Roger)
Unless we are planning to preserve varieties, we do not need any more,
imo.
(Toni) yes
(Brent) very well, thank you for your help on this! Will
you have more to report next meeting?
(Brent) or no
(Toni) I would like to
concentrate more on medicinal herbs and low light crops
(Roger)
definitely
(Toni) yes, I should have more contacts for the next
meeting.
(Mary) Toni, do you mean aquiring seeds for these herbs and
crops?
(Toni) possibly, Mary, some are propagated by roots
(Brent) OK,
good! Will you be researching the Medicinal herbs and lo light crops as a part
of this research also, or was that a seperate thing?
(Toni) the medicinal
herbs project is ongoing for me
(Brent) (Mary asked the same
question)
(Brent) :-)
(Toni) I think we should all experiment with low
light crops
(Mary) Why don't you make a project proposal on this?
(Brent)
Would be valuable research...
(Toni) we do need to know what will be most
likely to grow, gien light limitations
(Toni) gien=given
(Toni) I keep
coming up with sprouts, sprouts, sprouts
(Mary) sprouts are good.
(Brent)
A poject proposal would be good....but we are getting off topic. Would you like
to put together a project proposal, Toni, for next meeting?
(Toni) sunflower
seeds will sprout, but not bloom, for example
(Nancy) Mary, good idea! Lab on
how much or little light is required to keep them growing!
(Toni) do you mean
to incorporate in our project list?
(Brent) Sure!
(Brent) Good research
project!
(Nancy) Toni, yes, a perfect example as NO ONE in the world is
currently doing this. They assume sunlight!
(Toni) part of it could be added
to hydro, roger and I could work out the fileld crops
(Nancy) It might be
VERY important for a family to know that with their light bulb they can grown x,
y, z, but not k, for instance.
(Roger) sure!
(Brent) And we could fund it,
if you make a proposal!
(Nancy) Turn the lights down until they die :-).
(Mary) Using various wattage and lengths of time.
(Toni) i don't think it
will need much funding, if any
(Toni) we have they hydroponics in
operation
(Mary) this is different.
(Toni) we are growing field crops
presently
(Toni) it is easy to shade some of them
(Toni) and there is
already some documented research
(Nancy) Toni, if you need space, etc., my
lab can maybe incorporate this experiment :-)
(Toni) that's good
(Nancy)
Here's an example of an existing site (lab) and a research project/principal
coming together!
(Toni) I am growing some at the hydro farm near here,
currently
(Toni) this has opened up, again as a volunteer project
(Brent)
True Nancy! So shall I add this to next months revised project list?
(Nancy)
Folks, I'm supposed to be the relief shift at my sister's store at 3:00, and
it's 2:45, still must comb my hair, etc.
