Co-founder and co-producer

May 2005

As a founder member of both Psand and Bristol Wireless, it was a pleasure to bring two projects together to collaborate at the HesFes home education festival in 2005. I coordinated the development of a twenty terminal suite of recycled computers to facilitate a cybertent that was used to run workshops about free software and the internet for educational purposes for children and parents.

There is a video of the HesFes cybertent on YouTube.

For more details, refer to this article that I wrote about the HesFes cybertent.
