==='''WHY''' are you motivated to support/develop this work?===
*''Do you endorse open source culture?''

:This is like asking: ''Do you endorse honesty?''. To which my response is :'''yes'''.

*''Why are you interested in collaborating with us?''

:Highly interested

*''How do you think that the GVCS can address pressing world issues?''

:Pressing World Issues: overproduction, pollution, social injustice
:OSE Solution: DIY culture creates appropriate production levels; clear intention to explore alternative energy sources & maintain maximum efficiency; diffused information promotes level playing fields

*''What should happen so that you become more involved with the project?''

:I should continue my studies and visit FeF when I can to learn more.

*''What is missing in the project?''

:Prototyped learning structures proposed by [[OSE Campus]]

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

:Highly motivated, unskilled individuals could DPV to research and document the practicality of the OSE Campus

==='''WHAT''' are your skills?===

*Machining
**Lathe - Intermediate
**Vertical Mill - Intermediate
**Surface Grinding - Beginner
*Welding
**Stick Welding - Proficient
**MIG Welding - Proficient
**Oxy-fuel - Intermediate
**TIG - beginner/intermediate
**Plasma - None
*Electronics
**AA Degree in Electronics
**Experience programming PIC MCUs in assembler language

*''How have you already contributed to the project?''
2.5 mo visit in 2012 with a focus on education in GVCS fabrication. With the skills and theory I learned from the stay at FeF I was able to proceeed to build my own open source machines. With that in mind, I think there is tremendous potential for young americans to pursue affordable education by engaging in a distributed network of open source hardware enterprises.

FeF is an inspriration for a successful, replicable, self-funded education center based on cheap student labor. I imagine a farm, urban or rural, where students are offered free housing, and perhaps a small stipend, in return for the work in GVCS fabrication and vegetable production. This is a business with integrated carbon offsets that produces machines used on-site and sold to existing or start-up industry. The education program could be an immersion program that lasts 2-3 years and includes, in addition to farming and machine fabrication/operation, a [http://timebanks.org/what-is-timebanking/ timebank-stye approach] to liberal-arts and technical topics. These workshops will be well-documented and published in order to verify credibility and meritability.

In the long term I wish to establish such an enterprise in my neck of the woods. In the short term I wish to build more machines, try designing one of my own perhaps, and start saving money for this dream.

===HOW can you help?===

*''How are you interested in contributing to the work of GVCS development?''

:Research, and fabrication of GVCS items

*''Can you volunteer to work with us, and if so, how many hours per week?''

:Yes. 40+ Hrs/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?''

:Not interested in pay at the moment

*''Are you interested in a [[Dedicated Project Visit]]?

:When I am able to contribute

*''Are you interested in purchasing equipment from us to help bootstrap development?''

:Not at the moment

*''Are you interested in bidding for consulting/design/prototyping work?''

*''Are you a [[True Fans|True Fan]]? If not, why not?''

:Yes since 10/2011

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

: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.''

:hahaha I can't stop smiling... YES!
