Hacking Public Transport - Matera and beyond

i can adjust…

i can adjust my plans!

@mstn let’s discuss it over call today/tomorrow? this way you could present concrete dates on 16th

since we plan couple a weeks ahead, i would also like to make it proper 2 weeks long session, this way we can avoid working in a rush :slight_smile:

matera.io hosted on Ecobytes?

@mstn@piersoft, @Alberto maybe one of you could also get Ecobytes membership to run open services we started deploying on matera.io domain?

besides public transport i plan to test deploy various services developed by civic tech hackers :slight_smile: possibly soon also setting up an instance of open source Sharetribe on beni.matera.io @Matthias we could take a look at adding integration with Makerfox as networked barter service… also ask @matslats to offer drupal based Community Forge as timebank and mutual credit services! @david.bovill

Updates!

We exchanged few emails with @Alberto and @mstn so I would like to share latest state of things with everyone interested.

Dates: Feb 9th - Feb 22nd

From latest Alberto’s email:

"

  1. I’ll ask someone (called Ida) to help us with finding a place for you to stay. Cheap or free.

  2. I will ask for you to be able to use the unMonastery during the daytime (only the downstairs space). I am reasonably sure you can use the workspace there, and I hope the kitchen too. This will enable you to cook your own meals – I know Elf prefers it.

  3. Ida could possibly also help with arranging hospitality for you in Potenza when you go over. Take heed: Miccolis does indeed serve Potenza, but only with city-to-city lines. Urban transport is managed by another company.

  4. Piero will arrange something in Matera on Open Data Day.

"

From latest Marco’s email:

"

In passing, I gave my bank account to Piersoft. This money will be our

budget for the project.

"

We also had meeting during our participation in 31C3 where we discussed exchanges opportunities for people working in field of #OpenData / #CivicTech. I hope we can combine it with this activity and I already started asking Stefan Kaufmann, one of the best experts in field of Open Public Transportation data that I know, if he could join our sprint in Matera even just for one week!

Of course we will keep all the preparation details + logs of all involved financial and real world resources flows public online :slight_smile:

all systems ready!

… so what happened and what are the results ?

Transferring the project onto the local community

There have been talks of transferring the project (symbolically, its GitHub repo) from the unMonastery over to the local community, under the Spaghetti Open Data umbrella. Maybe @IdaLeone knows more?

proper post coming soon!

we’ll write a proper post with @mstn in next days and link to it from here, as well as from UnMonastery Rides again… post

after two weeks of non stop work on it, we just needed some time for other work/life activities :slight_smile:
