Open Pipe Kit

---

The Open Pipe Kit (OPK) is the missing plumbing between sensors and databases that will empower thousands of data journalists, civic hackers, farmers, etc. to collect data without needing a programmer's assistance or being locked into one data platform from a proprietary turn-key solution.

Farm OS

---

FarmOS is a web-based application for farm management and planning. It is built on Drupal, which makes it modular, extensible, and secure. Both Drupal and FarmOS are licensed under the GNU General Public License, which means they are open source. You can host it yourself on your own web server, or you can use Farmier, a FarmOS hosting service. FarmOS is a community wide effort, in particular R.J. is helping with integrating automated data collection for environmental data into FarmOS.

BeLL

---

With OLE’s open-source Basic e-Learning Library (BeLL), members have access to a treasure trove of free,open educational resources, designed to benefit both literate and pre-literate, young and old, novice and expert learners of different kinds of subjects. Everyone in the community is encouraged to become an active member of their Community Learning Center by having their own personal dashboard. The BeLL is often deployed to places without Internet or limited Internet access so a sync mechanism has been developed to allow two way communication between the community and the greater Internet. This enables iterative development of educational resources as both feedback and community generated resources sync up to the Internet and new resources are synced down.
