Saturday 12^th of March

The journey is on its half -way, time to think and to rethink, start and restart in order to go on.

After an intense and concrete week, that helped us, the participants of the Space the Final Frontier, to think about the possibilities of using technologies in order to open a dialogue with the Space, Saturday seem to be the day that all these lectures, presentations and conversation, had the chance to take form through the different projects that will be realize the following five days.

Saturday morning it was the day that we had breakfast late around with some people of us to start our day with a hangover from the previous night’s drinking at the living room of the first floor at Aranha’s home.

There was no schedule for the day, except it was the shopping for the projects. So every group that needed electronics, meet up around eleven close to the town Hall, in an area that exists many stores with electronics. The participants from the Solar/Time project was there and they bought what is necessary to built up their idea, discussing also what is next for the project, the meeting finished and Eelco brought the Solar Panel and the sensors etc back in his room that started to transformed it slowly into a lab in the afternoon.

For the rests seem that was a “free” day but the fact that the projects just begun, found every group to had arrange meeting in the morning and in afternoon.

The Bangaluru Data Bank {BDB }project had a meeting in a cafe at Brigade street, after sharing ideas and questions of the next step for the project, such as how to built the data bank and trans-coding the data, the participants had a walk to the nearby mg road and commercial street, experience the bangalore markets, collecting data, and made shopping.

The BDB group end up at Aranha’s home, starting searching for couple of hours.
