I can see, how your earlier hobby can impact as a positive motivation for the technical community in future, as it can kickstart a tiny IoT infrastructure for kids and others.</div><div><br></div><div>There are possible location change logistics on the road in few months,<font color="#000000" face="Helvetica"><span style="font-size:12px"><b> </b></span></font><b>I will let Rob Mackie contact you directly and work with you on it, adjust accordingly in future weeks to month</b>. But as you know, these aspects can be handled and I believe <b>Forge will continue standing for its non-profit STEM initiative mission forever</b>. It will be great, if you can visit "Forge Initiative" once during your free-time and you will be able to see it yourself.</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you,</div><div>Mahesh</div><div><span style="font-family:Georgia,serif;font-size:12.8px"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Georgia,serif;font-size:12.8px">Mahesh Balasubramaniam</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12.8px">IEEE ENCS RA24 Chair</span></div><div><u id="gmail-m_2082119995357416621gmail-m_-4186834705432690003gmail-m_6225868316321818098gmail-m_8032206138916370299gmail-m_8423736987864939360gmail-m_-5823682535553632727m_2107344165651317053ydp9e86d0ffm_-7401213605170141970ydpae6ae074yiv7210634634ydp4791ceefydp4f57e8cbydp9364fa5aydp724eb8afyiv9396962673yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1488341634479_14910" style="font-family:HelveticaNeue,"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,"Lucida Grande",sans-serif;font-size:12.8px"><span id="gmail-m_2082119995357416621gmail-m_-4186834705432690003gmail-m_6225868316321818098gmail-m_8032206138916370299gmail-m_8423736987864939360gmail-m_-5823682535553632727m_2107344165651317053ydp9e86d0ffm_-7401213605170141970ydpae6ae074yiv7210634634ydp4791ceefydp4f57e8cbydp9364fa5aydp724eb8afyiv9396962673yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1488341634479_14911"><a href="mailto:mbalasu@ncsu.edu" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">mbalasu@ncsu.edu</a></span></u></div><div><a style="font-family:Georgia,serif;font-size:12.8px;color:rgb(17,85,204)">919-649-6902</a></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br><div class="gmail_extra"><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Aug 1, 2017 at 6:49 PM, Tadd Torborg <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:tadd@mac.com" target="_blank">tadd@mac.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word">Are you talking about establishing a link site physically at a particular building? <div><br></div><div>So far we’ve been looking to house the network equipment at a place where it will serve a specific individual licensed ham at the premises and hopefully be used by the person who financed it, configured it and maintains it.

the past year we received multiple requests for Software Defined Radio
(SDR), Raspberry Pi (RPi), and Internet of Things (IOT) related topics.<br><br>Tonight
we have an excellent topic that offers you a unique educational
opportunity to develop skill sets which will cascade directly into your
SDR, RPi, and IOT abilities.<br><br>Tonight you will learn about packet
networking over ham radio. Based on interest, you may also have the
opportunity to get hands on experience at a following TriLUG hack night.
Plans are also in the making to provide ham operator training sessions
and licensing exams at our TriLUG Hack Night location.<br><br>With
Linux, an RPi, an antenna, and a Ham license, your devices can
communicate long range. This capability may be useful to control a
device in your back yard or to retrieve data from a weather balloon
carrying a 3d Printed TriTux penguin launched into nearspace during a
solar eclipse. Tonight's topic is a highly educational opportunity that
will enable you to do so many great things. Tadd Torberg is a wealth of
knowledge. You are sure to enjoy this meeting. We will see you there and
feel free to invite others to enjoy free pizza, free drinks, free
software, (even free beer at the same location 430pm-630pm), and most of
all people who care about freedom.<br><br>Full meeting details <a href="https://trilug.org/TARPN-Off-The-Grid-Text-Messaging" target="_blank">https://trilug.org/TARPN-Off-T<wbr>he-Grid-Text-Messaging</a><br><br>Jeremy Davis<br>TriLUG PR<br><br></div>
