... and some stuff I've done

Canaripedia (español), Localpedia (English)

• Canaripedia: basada en 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.
• Localpedia: based on Canaripedia, in turn based on No Island is an Island, written for The Future We Deserve. 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.

Resilience, pandemics, Ebola

• 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.

Food etc

• Global_Food_Swadeshi_Project looks at factors for food swadeshi. We'd then have to look at alternatives.

  

• Emergency_permaculture attempts to look at how to use permaculture in emergencies, either humanitarian or planetary.
• Invention: One_Sheet_Solar_Cooker / Cocina_Solar_Simple

  

TheFWD

For The FWD I wrote 3 pieces:

• 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.
• My ideal panflu Pandemics happen and some are bad, so what do we do. Work in progress, cos we're not there yet. Some of that is in http://www.ResilienceMaps.org
• The onion and the satellite Health-care systems.

Hexayurt

For Hexayurt I've helped with some how-tos:

• Camp Danger Hexayurt Hinge Technique: high quality videos for a smart refinement. Probably useful for many other light-panel hexayurt designs.
• 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.
• 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.

  

Also for Hexayurt, I translated Pais_Hexayurt, which is about Haiti but may also be applicable to other settings.

Translations

• Both text and videos. Videos, with procedure to help subtitle and create translations into many different languages.
• 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

• Slides.bas was a piece of software I wrote to explain 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.
• SOLE is a simple outline editor. Wants to be like Maxthink (only free, multiplatform and multilanguage) when it grows up.
