Feb 10 00:42:10 <_sj_> mchua, I need contacts among energy geeks
Feb 10 00:43:40 <mchua> _sj_: of the "I want to help with charging" variety?
Feb 10 00:44:09 <mchua> routing conventional power schools, off-grid solutions for individuals, other, all of the above?
Feb 10 00:44:19 <mchua> corporate, grassroots, appropriate tech, academia, all of the above?
Feb 10 00:44:50 <mchua> _sj_: I can give you all of them, I think, but need a direction to aim in and a reason to do so :)
Feb 10 00:44:52 <_sj_> charging, individuals and towns, grassroots, appropriate tech, academia
Feb 10 00:45:16 <_sj_> we need a test bed for our various solar tech, for instance
Feb 10 00:45:31 <_sj_> rooftops with careful measurement taking
Feb 10 00:45:37 <mchua> _sj_: OH MAN. I have the perfect thing for you
<insert discussion on IMSA chapter here>
Feb 10 00:49:37 <_sj_> mchua, I was thinking of groups at MIT, but anywhere in Boston would be close enough
Feb 10 00:50:36 <mchua> _sj_: you want them to be that local?
Feb 10 00:50:41 <mchua> IMSA is in Chicagoland...
Feb 10 00:50:57 <mchua> They're remarkably responsive and active, though, and could ship back and forth, and phone call often
Feb 10 00:51:09 <mchua> possibly send some students over if there's money for plane tickets somewhere
Feb 10 00:51:32 <_sj_> mchua, not necessarily
Feb 10 00:51:44 <_sj_> it just saves on shipping :)
Feb 10 00:52:01 <_sj_> we could also work out a proper relationship with a group and ship them a copy of anything we get
Feb 10 00:52:06 <_sj_> that might be best of all
Feb 10 00:52:12 <_sj_> we just don't have space in the offices for a real lab
