3D Robotics, a pioneer in selling low-cost drones to technology enthusiasts, has raised $30m in new funding as it scales up to focus on commercial applications for its unmanned flying vehicles.

The deal, led by Foundry Group and True Ventures, is believed to be the largest venture-capital investment yet in a civilian drone company, after Airware raised $10.7m from Google Ventures and Andreessen Horowitz this year.

OpenTechSchool is a community initiative offering free programming workshops and meetups to technology enthusiasts of all genders, backgrounds, and experience levels. It supports volunteer coaches in setting up events by taking care of the organizational details, encouraging coaches to create original teaching material. This material is then openly shared online and can be further developed by contributions from the global OTS community. OTS’ main goal is to create a friendly learning environment where no one feels shy about asking any question. Everyone is invited to participate, whether as a coach or a learner, and get in contact to organize OTS events anywhere in the world.

Ils m’énervent parce qu’ils s’acharnent à communiquer en anglais et excluent ainsi les gens sans le bac ou sans formation universitaire. Les rendez-vous ont lieu dans un co-working space commercial alors qu’il y a C-Base et d’autres lieux associatifs et communaux gratuits. Mais l’idée a du charme.
