Here is where you can fill out a receipt for [[donated Technorubble|http://docbox.flint.com:8081/donations/]]\n \nThe Barre Open Systems Institute (BOSI) has inaugurated, been developing and operating a project we call\n"TechnoRubble", where we try to keep electronic cords and accessories out of the waste stream. This is a self\nfunded volunteer initiative, we have a web site here:\n[[http://technorubble.org/|http://docbox.flint.com:8081/technorubble]]\n\nThe TechnoRubble booth is comprised of a vast selection of clear plastic bagged TechnoRubble that can be purchased piecewise by passers-by for $1 per bag. While the profits from this have been, shall we say minuscule, the visibility we bring to the problem of TechnoRubble in the waste stream is very positive. \n\nOne benefit we discovered when we participated in the Rutland and Shelburne Mini Maker Fairs is that fellow exhibitors who forgot some cord or other were able to find what they needed at our booth.\n\nThe proceeds from the sale of TechnoRubble are intended for use in the instantiation of a Maker Space in Barre Vermont, and part of the TechnoRubble mission is to talk up this project, and find resources to implement this\nWashington County maker space.\n\nOne example is the [[Baked Apple project|http://docbox.flint.com:8081/bakedapples/#overview]]\n

Another benefit we have discovered when we participated in the Rutland and Shelburne Mini Maker Fairs is that fellow exhibitors who forgot some cord or other were able to find what they needed at our booth.\n\nIn addition our mission is to devise a way of collecting TechnoRubble from the Vermont Population in order to untangle it, test, pack plastic bags,\nand categorize these throw away items for re-use at a substantial discount, $1 a bag. Since we are sponsored by a non-profit organization\nthe Hedding United Methodist Church of Barre, we can offer receipts to allow donators to reap the tax benefit of donation.\n\n\nAt this time we need $400.00 in order to participate in the Burlington Tech Jam which is happening at the end of October 2016. We are wondering if the Chitendon Count Solid Waste District could sponsor us, we intend to build the TechnoRubble project into every county in Vermont, and hopefully beyond.\n\n

[[Facebook Technorubble |https://www.facebook.com/groups/677911475718944/]] Group has been live for a few days, no fish yet.\n\nMy To Do List:\n\n- Count Inventory of Technorubble per carton\n- Identify PCI Cards/Gadgets/Remotes\n- Identify Length of Cables\n- Set up Technorubble-Related accounts on Image Sharing sites.\n\n

Someone give Chris a medal, the guy has been supplying us with the richest of technorubble these past three weeks!\n\nWhere's HIS receipt, huh?! HUH?!

Type the text for '21 November 2016'\n\nWe will meet in front of Hedding, and by 5:00 we will all be transported\ndown to the CVSWD offices in the old Times Argus building across the\nstreet from the Salvation Army in North Barre. There we are gonna pick\nTechnoRubble out of a big haul of stuff they got in last week. We are \nthen gonna take our Techno-booty and scamper back to Hedding (by 6:00) for\npizza and celebration.\n

Type the text for '13 March 2017'\n\nTECHNORUBBLE\n\nIn the new year we want to follow up on the interesting angle to deploy \nTechnoRubble at Libraries. At the meeting last month, J West came up with \nthis angle and I would very much like to set up at Kimball and the Aldrich \nLibraries and see if this would work. I may also try to get some traction \nat the Kellogg Hubbard. The famous [[Jessamyn West|http://docbox.flint.com/~flint/technorubble/20170109_182530.jpg]] showed up at our meeting \nlast week and checked out the whole TechnoRubble Project. Hope she remains \ninterested!\n\n- The Website [[http://technorubble.org|http://technorubble.org]].\n- The new donation letter has been updated, but not used yet...\n\nAgain, we need more TechnoRubble. The TechnoRubble untangling and packing is \npart of that effort. Part of this effort was the donation letter. The idea is \nto get people to mail their TechnoRubble to us in a USPS Flat Rate Box. I am \ngoing to complete the donation process page as soon as I can and post it.\n\n
