OFF-THE-GRID: What's in a Grid?

Commuter Communication is a decentralized social media network made to free communication from big corporations whose interests tend to be driven by profit. We made a communication network that allows the users to have far more control over how they receive information and who is giving it to them. Commuter Communication is an open source project where the user owns the LoRa radio based hardware and software, freeing them from the influence of for profit companies. The spread of this information is done through files that are uploaded to a "Mother Ship" who will then send them to nearby "Saucers". These "Saucers" can be brought home the files can be extracted as well as transmitted to other "Saucers".

Fire Safety Systems

Verity Gould and Wesley Ryals

In the event of a major grid failure, we will need whatever safety systems remain more than ever. We believe having multiple systems for fire safety in place is an effective way to keep our building and community reasonably safe even when one system fails. We intend to do this by analyzing fire regulations and proposing solutions to our biggest problem areas within NuVu.
