* A lifetime in Tenerife (Canary Islands, Spain), now I live in Scotland.
* Professional: MD (medical doctor), PhD, epidemiology in public health, flu surveillance (sentinel network, software), severe pandemic planning.
* Data science (300+ hours, not a unicorn, can work with others): http://github.com/LucasGSC
* Work in other areas: tools for cooperative and creative thinking (including mindmaps) where I translated 2000 pages into Spanish & taught 1000 teachers. Translations (including subtitles of videos, done cooperatively). Permaculture (including emergency permaculture). Music (guitar, composition, arrangement), see http://www.soundcloud.com/lucas-gs3 & Blog in English: http://imaginethecanaries.blogspot.com
=== Canaripedia ===
== Español ==
* [[Canaripedia]] is based on [[TheFWD_lucasgonzalez_No_island_is_an_island|No Island is an Island, written for The Future We Deserve]]
* Lucas Gonzalez SC (puntos, no espacios, en gmail punto com)
* It's an attempt to collect questions and answers regarding basic resources (water, food, energy ... both needs and production) so that there may be data-based visions and projects.
* Tenerife, Canarias, España + Dumfreis, Escocia, Reino Unido
* If it works well it can be replicated for other territories.

=== Food ===
= ... and some stuff I've done =
* [[Talk:ENGR_305_Interns_Spring_2011#Global_Food_Swadeshi_and_Emergency_Permaculture|Asking for help]].
== Resilience, pandemics, Ebola ==
* [[Global_Food_Swadeshi_Project]] Factors for food swadeshi. Then alternatives. [[Image:GlobalFoodSwadeshiProject.png|thumb]]
* [[Emergency_permaculture]]
* I must read this: http://www.etcgroup.org/upload/publication/pdf_file/ETC_Who_Will_Feed_Us.pdf
=== Haiti ===
* [[PandemicFluGame]] is a new project. Let's see what it would look like!
* http://www.ResilienceMaps.org (link to plescamac.com was broken so now the files are hosted in resiliencemaps itself - good license!)
* [[Ebola]] is a broad view on how to use appropriate tech for Ebola, and [[Excubator]] is a specific concept to explore a different type of hazmat suit.
* [[Haiti_SCIM]]
== Canaripedia & Localpedia ==
* [[Pais_Hexayurt]]
* [[Hexayurt_Plywood]]
* [[Pup_Hexayurt]] I contributed [[File:Pup1sheet.jpg]]
=== Appropedia ===
* [[Localpedia]] (English): based on [[Canaripedia]] (Spanish), in turn based on [[TheFWD_lucasgonzalez_No_island_is_an_island|No Island is an Island, written for The Future We Deserve]] (English). Helps collect questions and answers about basic resources in a given territory, to facilitate the generation of visions and projects which are based on data.
* [[Canaripedia]]: basada en [[TheFWD_lucasgonzalez_No_island_is_an_island|Ninguna Isla es una Isla, escrita para El Futuro que Nos Merecemos]]. Intenta reunir preguntas y respuestas sobre recursos básicos en cada territorio concreto, para facilitar que generemos visiones y proyectos basados en datos. En inglés, en abstracto, como [[Localpedia]].
* [[Appropedia_Video_Challenge]]
== Permaculture, Food etc ==
* [[Appropedia:Nuestra_Mision]]
* [[Appropedia:Fuentes_de_contenido_en_español]]
* [[People_Centered_Permaculture_Wiki]]
=== Inventions ===
* Took Geoff Lawton's first [http://permacultureglobal.org/users/9537-lucas-gonzalez-santa-cruz online Permaculture Design Course]. Can't tell a potato from an onion without help, but we can think stuff, and I'm looking into [[Emergency_permaculture]] which attempts to look at how to use permaculture in emergencies, either humanitarian or planetary.
* [[Global_Food_Swadeshi_Project]] looks at factors for food swadeshi. We'd then have to look at alternatives. Is part of both pandemic and permaculture [[Image:GlobalFoodSwadeshiProject.png|thumb]]
* Inventions: [[One_Sheet_Solar_Cooker]] / [[Cocina_Solar_Simple]] [[Image:Cocinasolarsimple.png|thumb]] & also see Ebola above.
For [[The_future_we_deserve|The FWD]] I wrote 3 pieces:
* [[TheFWD_lucasgonzalez_My_ideal_panflu|My ideal panflu]] Pandemics happen and some are bad, so what do we do. Published work in in http://www.ResilienceMaps.org
* [[TheFWD_lucasgonzalez_No_island_is_an_island|No island is an island]] Relative physical isolation gives some clues to standing on our feet while being part of the world. Core idea for [[Canaripedia]] and [[Localpedia]].
* [[TheFWD_lucasgonzalez_The_onion_and_the_satellite|The onion and the satellite]] Health-care systems. Can be redesigned from first principles.
== Hexayurt ==
For [[Hexayurt|Hexayurt]] I've done some scale models:
* Quaddome: https://vimeo.com/20684153 (link has links to @Gelada's work)
* H2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2zLwsTljoY and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6oJyZzH0As
* H13 with halves moved around: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ods3-nbm4kE
* Family of hexayurts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBltvDf3Jso
Also, helped with some how-tos:
* [[Camp_Danger_Hexayurt_Hinge_Technique|Camp Danger Hexayurt Hinge Technique]]: high quality videos for a smart refinement. Probably useful for many other light-panel hexayurt designs.
* [[Hexayurt_Plywood|Plywood]]: there's plywood everywhere. Harder to build than light-panel hexayurts, but maybe the panels are more widely available. A how-to is a must for this kind of hexayurt, so please help make a better documentation.
* [[Hexayurt_H13|H 13]]: The standard "classic" hexayurt uses 12 panels. One extra panel and you get 66% extra standing room. Can use "foldable" ideas if built with light panels.
* [[Pup_Hexayurt]] I contributed the image for the panel pictured on the side. [[Image:Pup1sheet.jpg|thumb]]
Finally, I translated [[Pais_Hexayurt]], which is about Haiti but may also be applicable to other settings.
== Translations ==
== Translations ==
I'm extremely interested in facilitating massive translations of interesting material: text and video (subtitle and dubbing). [http://www.wiki-translation.com/AMTA+2010+Workshop+--+Collaborative+Translation%3A+technology%2C+crowdsourcing%2C+and+the+translator+perspective Exciting recent work being done].
* Both text and videos. Videos, with procedure to help subtitle and create translations into many different languages.
** An example I'm proud of (but beware: income is logarithmic): https://www.amara.org/en/videos/BxDoaAHJnwTI/info/hans-roslings-200-countries-200-years-4-minutes-the-joy-of-stats-bbc-four/
* Includes: Edward de Bono (2000 pages), Walk for Water, Edgeryders, Hans Rosling, Open Source Ecology, etc.
* I'll eventually provide the links for each of those. For the time being, please try http://www.appropedia.org/User_talk:LucasG
== Software (outside epidemiological work) ==
* Slides.bas was a piece of software I wrote to explain medicine, last-year examples to a first-year student. First written in applesoft, I ported it into ms-basic.
* I wrote a musical keyboard program in assembler for the 6502. Yes, that's the apple II.
* [http://github.com/LucasGSC/sole SOLE] is a simple outline editor. Wants to be like Maxthink (only free, multiplatform and multilanguage) when it grows up.
== Music and Videos ==
* Used http://piratepad.net/mCRNBbSGfl to cooperatively transcribe http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbkSRLYSojo by http://twitter.com/HansRosling and place the subtitles into http://universalsubtitles.org/videos/BxDoaAHJnwTI/info/ where I did the Spanish translation and someone is doing the French.

** [http://agit8.org.uk/?p=268=1 The future of poverty] by Vinay Gupta, which I translated into [http://imagina-canarias.blogspot.com/2009/02/el-futuro-de-la-pobreza.html Spanish]
