Gateway Migration to Stack

Things Network Sheffield aims to create a community owned and operated LoRaWAN network in Sheffield, covering the city centre, and as many local neighborhoods as we can.
Through the support of the communities developed by Sheffield Digital and the SmartSheffield meetup, and via the two Sheffield universities, Shefield College and the private firms listed below, we also aim to educate and develop Sheffield's capacity for creating new applications and user experiences using the network.
Who's behind Things Network Sheffield?
The Things Network Sheffield was originally founded in 2016 by Scott Knowles of ObjectForm and Kurtis Wright of Sheffield Community Technologies.
Since the Spring of 2017, however, it has been organised by Chris Dymond of Sheffield Digital and Unfolding, with meetings held in conjunction with the bi-monthly SmartSheffield meetup. This provides for regular meetings and communications, with community members taking on the coordination of specific initiatives. See the most recent meeting write-ups for more info on this.
How do I partiocipate?
The community's main communications tool is the #internetofthings channel on the Sheffield Digital Slack. To join please fill out this short form and you will be receive an invitation. Once a member of the Slack community, you can join the #internetofthings channel by selecting it in the main channel list.
You can also make contact via twitter @ThingsSHF
