## About

Ok so now we got the 2 gateways that are necessery to become an official community.

Next steps:

```
    1.Try to find more members, to all the current members feel free to recruit :)
    2.We got several nodes, sensors, etc. If annyone is willing to help getting them connected feel free to ask for a node. Also ideas for use case scenarious are welcome.
    3.We need to find better locations for the gateways, or atleast for the RAK831 as now it is in the middle of nowhere. Suggestions are welcome also if you know someone that would be willing to put it on their property if the location is good that would be great.
```

We got a 3D printer to make casings in any shape, also a bunch of sensors and LoRa node modules as stated above. So if you have an idea we got the tools you just need to put the time. Contact us and we will set you up with some nice hardware to do some fun stuff.

That is it for the next couple of months.
