Sharing it online through social media, getting others to watch the video on Vimeo, as well as vote. Acquired area to temporarily use to possibly develop GVCS items, now looking to start a Boston OSE arm, which could become quite large and extremely helpful to FeF.

	Currently due to obligations with my own shop area that I am setting up. It is a bit far away and time consuming, bartering masonry work for barn space. Looking into buying land around Massachusetts/ Boston, it is very expensive. But the turn around in talent if the land is available, would be very very great. People would love to come together and ~~their~~ are very bright individuals around here. I know if I can acquire land I can get a large support group in Boston.

	Absolutely! I currently ~~have position I enjoy very~~, ~~very much~~, but ~~I believe the role at OSE could create~~ a ~~very symbiotic relationship with my current place~~ of work (~~not NEM & Son~~)		Absolutely! I currently run a small construction company, and do some consulting for other fields here and there, but would love to mold a career out of lifelong education and hands on work (which together accelerates my learning and working abilities!)


	*''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.''		*''Are you interested in being part of the world's first, open source, resilient community?

	~~Currently pursuing a degree~~ I would be ~~unable~~ to. ~~I can give as much support as you would like remotely however!~~		Previously unable to, I believe I would now be able to do something like this.

Endorse people outside of FeF to develop products, allow people to make their own shops and back them as if they were at FeF! This would strengthen the veins of the OSE heart at FeF! Once we get pumping it will strengthen FeF, and in turn FeF will thrive outwards. Hopefully at least, right?

			Remotely supporting OSE, possibly creating the cement mixer, as well as maybe a car. I currently am swapping an engine on an 84 Mustang that I have worked on, and completely rebuilding a 68 Mustang. All I need is a welder and I can go all out building stuff!

			Computer support is possible, I could also possibly work on a mobile app/ reference. Mobile support is crucial to OSE. If people have a phone, they should still be able to see the GVCS in its entirety! I do not have access to a Mac right now, however iOS is 100% on the map for me, for OSE, if it is not already in the works, as it very well may be! An iPad, a solar charger, and the GVCS downloaded onto the iPad could quite possibly be a civilization starter in your hands!

			I would also love to work on the Arduino Due, I am not too familiar with the UNO, but I know I could make some of the awesome things on the Arduino that are already out there, like the small helicopters for some sort of communication, or the 3-d printer. All would be amazing. I will add more as I get more time in on here!

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

	Yes, ~~tbd~~.		Yes, currently I am thinking 15 hours a week is what I can put in until I am more settled in, in my shop space and new apartment. My living situation is obviously quite vital to my work as well as what I can offer OSE, the better I do at work, the more I can give 100% to OSE!

			Quite possibly!


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

			Sure! I actually am in desperate need of a bobcat of some sort. New England Masonry & Son has a large job underway and the customer is being a big unreasonable with a large wall we are doing. It is about 300 feet long and 20 feet high, and we need a machine, as someone took off with ours!


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

			Sure, if I can hold a candle to the other bidders!


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

Why are you interested in collaborating with us?

The very fabric of the idea, to start with basic things around you and make industrial grade, reliable, community-worthy tools is not only amazing for the GVCS and a ground-up economy, but also in-the-gutter, fixer-upper. I know a lot of people that can utilize the passion they have, a decent amount of time, and get back on their feet, as well as helping others in the process, and we will.
