Hackbases meetup / workshop @ EMF ?

Sorry. Nothing much happened:
    * talk rejected
    * lightning talk rejected for "all slots filled up", but were free later, so should have insisted more
    * didn't organize meetup because it felt like there was enough day programme??

Done, atleast:
    * put village on map

Project Patrick: Building your own personal AI assistant
"Project Patrick is a cloud connected speech controlled digital assistant – like Amazon’s Echo. You can easily build your own ‘Patrick’ to run on your PC or your Raspberry Pi 3. All base code and services are available from GitHub. Patrick uses Windows 10 speech recogniser and speech to text voices to listen and respond. It uses the LUIS cognitive service to easily determine the command to execute.  A simple services model means you can easily build your own services and extend your Patrick."
Guy told us (caught during teardown) it's open source except "Intent engine" which goes to some MS server

BLURP FROM BEFORE:
Come hang out with at the hackbase [hackerspaces you can live in] open infrastructure tent.
Hope it will actually be a real tent, with photo & data projections from the site. 
The Totalism base is a hackerbase in Lanzarote (Canary Islands, Spain) and operating since 2011.
The next major step for the project is buying rural land on the island, for a permanent temporary architecture free base for hacking there. Check out http://totalism.org/ and http://totalism.org/season4 . 
Other hackbases are very welcome too.
