'The Internet Store'
Experience the internet. Come get what you need to make your own Internet at home!
"It's like a hardware store for the internet." - satisfied imaginary customer
The Internet Store is a place where you can experience open-source technology physically & digitally.
We will have:
Candy!
Open source related candies
Including marshmallow 'clouds' and green gummy worm 'pythons' and maybe some blue Drupal marzipans.
The educational candy labels will say something about the technology.
Card catalog (put cool websites in, take cool sites out) ( like del.icio.us )
physical twitter box experiment (write tweets) - saw this at hayesvalleyfarm.com on earth day in san francisco, was cool - thx Zoey Kroll @edibleoffice
real facebook 'wall' (concept: Amanda Luker - @mndonx)
php game - a card game where people have to act out programming - taught by Drupal Open Garden Project PHP class (concept: @chachasikes)
nightly coder lounge - open to developers working on open source software & projects for communities (contact: @chachasikes) (Drupal Open Garden Project participants will have this as a space to develop together during our 4th week, which will be a big development week.)
Other Surprises!
We will make stuff for the store out of cardboard & paint & paper.
Open to other ideas. If you are interested in participating contact me, chach.
