The talk on STAR-TIDES from FAHUM <Google Video>
Submitted by richardginn on Mon, 05/26/2008 - 19:06.Here's the talk on STAR-TIDES from FAHUM. There's a lot of
background noise to the 24 minute mark, after that it clears right up.
It's the best explanation on tape of the distributed infrastructure
system, the rationale for using the Hexayurt as a way of converting
materials in the supply chain into shelter, and the organizational
strategy behind STAR-TIDES that I'm currently aware of. Nice work, Lin!
