For the May meetup, would there be interest in one of:
a) Affordable housing with FreeCAD [1]
b) Learn how to play music with Linthesia [2] and Pianobooster [3]
then serve it using MPD [4]
c) Experiment with FOSS software to record traffic by hand and compare
results with image analysis software. At present bicycle and foot
traffic does not seem to be used in road planning. There is also the
issue of privacy in recording everything passing by. [5][6][7]
d) Other suggestions?

1) https://wiki.freecad.org/BIM_Workbench
2) https://github.com/linthesia/linthesia
3) https://www.pianobooster.org/
4) https://www.musicpd.org/
5) https://github.com/OpenTrafficCam
6) https://github.com/glossyio/traffic-monitor
7) https://www.sytadin.fr/
8) https://github.com/ultralytics/ultralytics/


Will fill in further details at:

FreeCAD, Linthesia and PianoBooster look very interesting. 

I think they are good candidates.

Thanks for the reply. For FreeCAD, can look for a place that does
pre-fabricated housing or makes housing building materials. Suggestions
welcome, but can also ask if this is of interest and there are no
suggestions.

For Linthesia and PianoBooster, would there be interest in visiting a
school or children's home? We could offer to donate a computer with
Linux. Refurbrished computers start at about 6,000/=

Other possible venues include:
- https://www.kagongo.com/
- https://5starmusic.co.ke/
- An ICT Hub with internet access and electricity

Other suggestions welcome.

Benson
