Recently (2024-2025) I have been volunteering with Public Invention on the Krake Project. See: https://github.com/PubInv/krake
Krake is the child project of GPAD project (2022). See:https://github.com/PubInv/general-alarm-device
Public Invention is a non profit company whose mission is:
We invent things that help all people. We empower inventors, technologists, and students to publish, find, and collaborate on invention ideas through direct coaching, team formation, curation of work, publication, co-working/learning events, and in some cases material support.
