[Fellowship Zurich] Open Agriculture / Food Computer in Zurich

[Daniel Pocock]

Hi all,

I hope "Food" in the subject line got everybody's attention

Somebody started a group[1] on Meetup trying to bring the MIT OpenAg[2]
initiative food computer to Zurich.

This is a hot topic at the moment, Caleb Harper's TED video[3] shows
exactly what it is.

It could be a good opportunity for FSFE involvement as the software is
free and the recipes (for growing things) are also free as in freedom.

Would anybody want to build[4] one of these things?

Would anybody have any ideas about other local groups (ecology, culinary
or technically-minded people) who should be invited?

I already sent details to a couple of student groups at ETH that appear
relevant, including SeedCity[5] and The Alternative[6]

Regards,

Daniel
