Hi Claudia,

We are working on a new version for the proposal and I will send it to you
soon,

salut from tr o p i c al Gent - 37 degrees yesterday, everyone is sweating
like crazy, Rob

>> Greenstone to become recognized by IPHAN[2] and UNESCO.
>>
>> This is very exciting.

>> For me the ideal scenario of Internet of Things is an internet of
>> neighborhoods with local servers. These can be robotic infrastructure,
>> crawling, flying big bugs that host the Intelligent Operation Center for
>> the neighborhood ( not only for the Mayor as in the IBM/Cisco dashboards
>> they are providing for all kinds of cities - as they know national
>> states
>> will no longer be able to provide financial stability ). These collect
>> data for all kinds of sensors in and out of home and help streamline
>> energy on devices such as storage of food, washing of clothes, dishes,
>> heating, light. They can also collect data on sleeping habits. All that
>> data is anonomously stored, enriched and possibly sold to outside
>> service
>> providers or played back to the community by community apps (is local
>> neighborhood and all the social networks and remote couchsurfing
>> friends).
>> So on a public dashboard - say a bus screen - it appears that 5 people
>> have slept very badly. If you are one of those 5 you can opt in more
>> info
>> and even maybe get to know the others. If you don't you stay anon. The
>> robots work on and offline so that there is no need for the Cloud to
>> enable IoT and we make sure that telco's do not get to run the entire
>> infrastructure as they fool us into thinking we need 24 7 3 or 4 G to
>> get
>> an IoT working. The data can be shared between neighborhoods and ideally
>> we get a global backbone on 'white-not branded - infrastructure that is
>> open for citizens to build apps on very local servives like hyperlocal
>> news on.
>>
>> An added balance is that your entire infrastructure being robotic can
>> lift
>> of the ground in case of earthquake or tsunami.
>>
>> I am preparing a EU project for the end of December and it would be
>> great
>> if we could work this in there and find some funding in EU-Brazil
>> programs
>> or kickstarter type,
