Outline
The workshop will be organized collecting topics here in advance. The session may start with Lightning Talks, where each contributor outlines the particular focus to be shared. We then may decide where to dive in deeper and how to build special interest groups if needed. In a final panel, we may aim for a common sense on how to monitor your area or nuclear facilities to make sure things are running more safe and trustworthy on planet Earth.
Project Flow
In both locations GeigerMueller counter building workshops are ongoing. We may exchange experiences in practical aspects of DIY, how to probe, check and calibrate for getting trusty readings. We may discuss techniques and recipies to get comparable readings. We may emphasize on the value of collecting those significant readings by automated upload to a common network of things.

Note
THS: If there is a panel type discussion, its probably best to assign a moderator [...]
