			Hi Marcin,

			I would like to electronically introduce you to a faculty member here at RIT in the Industrial and Systems Engineering Department, Dr. Marcos Esterman. Marcos is currently teaching a graduate level Engineering of Systems course in which they have turned to the Open Source Ecology GVCS for project ideas. They have decided to focus on the Microtractor. The class will also be directly collaborating with a university in Columbia, who will be simultaneously working on the same project. He is taking a very interesting approach with this course and I feel that the outcomes will be quite valuable.

			I spoke with Marcos today about this and told him I would introduce the two of you. I think you will be quite interested in his methodology and expected outcomes for the project. Expect a followup email from Marcos with more details regarding the nature of the project.

			I am sure that you are quite busy, but I strongly feel that your (at least limited) involvement with this project will prove mutually beneficial. Perhaps you may even be able to offer some inspirational words to the students working on the project, which could help yield improved results.

			Best wishes,
			Kevin
