Ok...  we need to start collecting ideas for projects for HSP.


Can you confirm why we need to do that? What specific need or requirement
is driving us to do that? Understanding that will help us navigate a
suitable solution.

Unless DARPA are specifically asking, or we're contractually required to,
my take is we probably don't need to do this - what we could do is to begin
encouraging hackerspaces to propose projects. However, until we have actual
funds available, that arguably doesn't make much sense.

If DARPA is requiring this, then I suggest we focus on competitions, along
the lines Cole, myself and others were discussing.

My take is we don't want to end up being the "grand design" committee,
planning out a n-year development program ourselves. Instead, I feel we
need is to allow hackerspaces to organically define a program.

 Here's another DARPA project that might have some ideas for people...
 heck its hacking satellites!!
