## About

Connect all the things!

We want to promote the idea of an open sensor network, whilst understanding how to make a sustainable model. This may be a hybrid of commercial and open, or a community fund model. For all of these we need applications to give people something to get behind. Ben's background is telecoms and Internet of Things. He's founder of Flood Network, monitoring flooding around the UK using Internet of Things. He's also the founder of Love Hz, an IoT consultancy. He's the main point of contact for TTN Oxford. Joe Nicholson is Director of Rufilla, an embedded IoT and M2M developer and coordinator of the Oxford Internet of Things meetup.
