Finally I've been making my first flights in Madrid, Spain, and tomorrow Tuesday Sept 17th 2012 we (Basurama.org + 6000km.org ) are inviting everyone to join us at PAU del Ensanche de Vallecas (Madrid) http://www.6000km.org/localizaciones/pau-del-ensanche-de-vallecas/ around 19.00h. We are also planning to spend the night there, making urban camping. We want to make some photos to these semi abandoned residential areas, an ubiquitous landscape of the real estate bubble.

In case some is around and wants to join, contact me!

Prices of helium I've found in Madrid: 45€ + taxes for a small bottle (fills one balloon) and a quarter of another. Does it sounds like a reasonable price?

One question regarding mapmill.org: is it possible to upload photos there or we have to install our local deployment?

Thanks,

p

This sounds amazing, Pablo. Will it be documented somewhere online? Can't wait to see the photos of the entire project. Good luck!

Hey Pablo - to get images into MapMill, share a Dropbox folder of them with me and I'll copy them in. For others -- we're happy to post anyone's balloon photos -- just contact w...@publiclaboratory.org for the web working group and we can coordinate.

Exciting, can't wait to see! That doesn't sound crazy for helum, btw.

Don: we'll share, sure. For now, just a testing flight at Solar Decathlon Villa http://mapknitter.org/maps/solar-decathlon-2012--madrid

Jeff: thanks. I'll share when I get a better internet connection.

Hi Pablo,

This sounds like an amazing project! I'd also like to hear more about your work at http://basurama.org/ and with the international waste diggers union. Any chance we could chat on the phone tonight?

Thanks!

Liz
