	Interesting. Would be compelling to do this in [[Team Wikispeed]] 100 mpg open source car, and transportation logistics would be lower.		''Interesting. Would be compelling to do this in [[Team Wikispeed]] 100 mpg open source car, and transportation logistics would be lower. - MJ''

	Spoke to a friend in the non-profit world about her assessment of Open Source Ecology and more specific ideas about fund-raising. She discussed the four "pots" of money: earned income, foundation grants, angel investors, and individual donations. Her opinion was that Open Source Ecology's "sweet spot" was grants from large foundations.

			My goal was to provide a little more concrete execution to the Fundraising Strategy in the Wiki. I think our biggest immediate goal needs to be raise awareness of Open Source Ecology. I think the best way to do that is to do a traveling road show, with Marcin and a couple of engineers and one of the GVCS prototypes. The ideal venue is at a forum that brings together engineer, economics, and social development university professors and students to expose them to what OSE is doing in technical, economic, and social ways. This cuts across a wide variety of demographics: students, professors, and the general public. Raising awareness of OSE enables us to be more aggressive when we ask for grants from a variety of large foundations. It also allows us to create partnerships with organizations with similar goals (social development, open source economy/goods, and sustainable development, for example). Ideally we can create a synergistic effect between partner organizations, thereby increasing awareness further, and making it easier for foundations to give us money.

			I also think that we need to seriously consider earned income, the ability to sustain ourselves. I have not completely resolved in my mind the tension between earned income and open source, but a possible course of action could be a class or course at the farm teaching kids or adults how to build one of our prototypes. We could charge a fee for the course for materials and food, for example, but the intent would be to allow the farm to sustain itself, not to generate a profit.

			Further, perhaps the farm could generate some income through selling fruits and vegetables that were grown using OSE-developed prototypes. Again, the idea is to expand our "brand recognition" while still staying focused on our mission.
