==='''WHY''' are you motivated to support/develop this work?===
*''Do you endorse open source culture?''
Yes, I endorse open source culture. I only use open source software in my work.

*''Why are you interested in collaborating with us?''
Because I share the same vision.

*''How do you think that the GVCS can address pressing world issues?''
The consumer lifestyle makes us delusional. We think it's money that gives us our basic needs and wealth. Everyone is striving for the money without thinking about nature. This is a very dangerous delusion because then we see nature only as an endless resource. We don't have to respect nature and when you don't do that you destroy it. Todays society is digging it's own grave by not going back to the roots, to the basic needs. But that's exactly what the GVCS will allow anyone to do. To unplug ourselves from the delusion and live with nature again and to only take what is needed.

I think you can make an endless list of how GVCS will help with the issues of the world...

*''What should happen so that you become more involved with the project?''
I recently found out about the project. I'm just learning and reading everything I can find about the project. I will get more involved!

*''What are you missing in the project?''
The idea is not as widely spread as it it should be.

*''What are your suggestions for improvement of the project?''

==='''WHAT'''===
*''List all of your skills in these areas: Communications - Organizational - Computer Support - Finances - Design - Natural Building - Electronics - Automation - Metallurgy - Engineering - Fabrication - Agriculture - Energy - Architecture - Video/Graphics/Art - PR/Marketing - Education - Construction - Industry - CNC - Chemistry - Product Design - Other''

L33t in Video/Graphics/Art (using open source software). 
At my school where I work I renewed their internal communication system using Google Apps and I've also done the PR/Marketing work at our school. 
Teacher in film making for 5 years. 
Good skills in using linux and lots of software. I'm a fast learner. 

*''How have you already contributed to the project?''
I'm a true fan for now but I would like to contribute in other ways to.

==='''HOW''' can you help?''===
*''How are you interested in contributing to the work of GVCS development?''
I'm interested in making educational films and PR films.

*''Can you volunteer to work with us, and if so, how many hours per week?''
Yes, I can. It depends on my other work for now. I do lots of freelance jobs now. But ~10-30 hrs per week.

*''Are you interested in working with us for pay? If so, what services can you offer, and what is your hourly or per-project rate?''
No

*''Would you like to see yourself working with us on a full-time basis?''
Yes

*''Are you interested in using the technologies that we are developing directly?''
Yes

*''Are you interested in being part of the world's first, open source, resilient community? The GVCS is the preparatory step for the OSE Village Experiment - a 2 year, immersion experiment (2013-2014) for testing whether a real, thriving, modern-day prototype community of 200 people can be built on 200 acres using local resources and open access to information? We are looking for approximately 200 people to fill a diverse array of roles, according to the Social Contract that is being developed. This may be the boldest social experiment on earth - a pioneering community whose goal is to extend the index of possibilities regarding harmonious existence of humans, ecology, and technology - as a beacon of light to benefit of all people on Earth.
