[IDEAS] for London, England, UK: OSCE event 2016

Circular Maker SpacesPerhaps focusing on a particular element from this to progress further and collaborate with other makespaces in developing in the run up and during the days.

One thing I would like to do is:

  • Develop a repository of resources, using the huge amount of tools and data that’s already available that can assist makers. I think it would be really great if we could get this to the stage of a live test-website over the course of the weekend. This is something that could be very helpful to build up the work.
  • Also, I would like to use the session to work on developing concepts to address the barriers and challenges we already identified and test them out perhaps in some of the spaces you mention @TechnicalNature (the first point is also about this)

Open Energy Life Cycles: Supporting the further development of particualar elements of this and perhaps making the guidance more accessible or how to further promote, develop?

Some vague / related ideas:

  • Last year I mentioned I’d like to look at meta-LCA data which is publicly available from environmental product declarations. There was a special issue published recently on the benefits of meta-LCA. I will have a look and see if I can find it. Perhaps this is something that the Restart project would also be interested in.
  • Is there any way we can use the community to crowd-source data? In a citizen-science way?

Yes, I think I said before I’d like to have a more participatory approach this year…all learn together.
