Call to #hackerspaces & #makerspaces around the world, lets join forces!

Hi. 👋 I make #OpenSource smart #thermostats that don't spy on you. I don't ship internationally for two reasons: financial cost and environmental cost. I'd like to join a network of Makerspaces to have them be produced regionally so people outside of America can get a pre-made unit.

Does this network already exist? If so, how do I join? If it doesn't exist, would you like to help build it?

@MxVerda Awesome! What I am imagining is you build a unit for yourself to get the hang of it, verify it works as expected, and make sure you want to build these devices.

Then we coordinate with the original author to make sure they're cool with this plan (they'll want to verify anyone using their name is building reliable devices to protect the project's good reputation)

And I'm happy to help at every step along the way

@hestiahacker eep! sorry, I meant I'm interested to buy this from someone here. I don't have the brainpower or body energy to do something like this anymore, after / with long covid.

@MxVerda Do you have a local Hackerspace or Makerspace that might have someone interested in helping solve this?

I'd be happy to work with anyone who is willing to help.

@hestiahacker Sure, well. sorta? There probably is one around here. For now, I've sent a link to your last message to a friend of a friend who is thinking about doing tech stuff. I'll send this too so they know you're around to ask questions :D
