@impactology @tbdinesh and the team at @servelots come to mind. Just got back from Anthill Hacks in Tumkur (a few hours from Bangalore) and was there to see the first bamboo mesh tower go up. Also lots of interesting #tft and community sensemaking software being developed there, like Papad.

Grasslands help sequester carbon, support 500 million livestock and over 20 nomadic tribes in India. Experts call for a mapping exercise to understand the extent of India’s grasslands and the historical damage they have suffered. Story by @theplainjain

"Little did we know the loneliness, self-doubt and constant sense of colonial gaslighting that would await us during this journey. It seemed like only we were facing these problems."

Sad and true story / point of view by @servelots thanks @UnwindingBlues

Digital inclusion is defined as: “the enabling of all people to contribute to and benefit from the digital economy and society.” Digital inclusion rests upon the following 4 pillars: 1. Access to ICT, (digital) infrastructure, affordable prices, and ease of use.

[48percent.org @48percent_org]

Access to internet is essential for learning digital skills, and for participation in todays society. We partnered with @servelots who enable women to access the internet through ASPi-devices. https://t.co/REYD9HyU9k #digitalskills

@johnthackara Thanks for sharing John. Will join in to listen. Unfortunately, urban bioregions don't feature in "smart cities". Thought you might like this story we did on pastoralists in the city with @servelots https://t.co/3b7ki0UIF2

@APC_News @Freecycle @NodoTau @pangea_org @GreenNetISP @AlterMundiNet @eReuseOrg @R2REurope @ICTAdvocates @Namdu1radio1 @servelots However, without "right to repair" legislation and a mandate that requires devices and routers have a fallback installation of open variants of their operating systems we are committing them early as e-waste often to be handled by [rag]-pickers.

@APC_News @Freecycle @NodoTau @pangea_org @GreenNetISP @AlterMundiNet @eReuseOrg @R2REurope @ICTAdvocates Girish of @Namdu1Radio1 has a keen eye to find components from https://t.co/H5dLoZTrco that can be used to make Raspberry Pi embedded internet radio devices for community networks. Much appreciated his engagement with @servelots at the COWMesh region.
