Open Letter to U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders Re: Open Source Flock
Greetings Senator Saunders,
I live in Barre, Vermont which is in your voting district and I voted to elect you.
Thank you for getting the Basketball for my friend's son, Sebastian when you came through town this summer.
We need to discuss the economics and future of technology research and development in this area of Central Vermont,
For now, please pay attention to this proposal:
FLOCK Camera Issue:
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flock_Safety#Products)
Whereas this equipment is currently paid for by taxpayers, the data should be
accessible from the public network.
Where there is "Public Light", an Open re-Source, the data should be in the public domain.
Current Projects
BayRakTar - Flight Simulator Drivers
Our basic concepts here involve development of open source drivers which will allow for the
training of Pilots for this open source drone. We believe that we can develop a rich gaming environment that will facilitate development of Open Source Combat Drone Technology. We would suggest the use of [[Visual Bash|visualbash.org]] a methodology we are somewhat proud of.
Arduino
Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It's intended for artists, designers, hobbyists, and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments.
