Replace Safecast with Public Lab?

Open klie1 opened this issue 8 years ago • 0 comments

I'd urge you to consider requesting that people donate their time or money to an open source group like www.publiclab.org instead of Safecast where some info is licensed (aka not accessible) and kits run hundreds of dollars (again not accessible). Public Lab protects all submitted data via an open source creative commons license and believes that the more people involved in science, the better - it removes barriers like money and licensing. Public Lab also produces kits as cheaply as possible and/or teaches how to make environmental monitoring kits yourself. They are committed to serving the groups that are most affected by environmental issues, and do so by keeping information (data, hardware and software) free/cheap and open source.
