	Thank you for your great work to make SH3D available to the world. You have created an awesome software and - although our use of it is not what you may originally have had in mind - it turned to be just the right thing! Personally - I was blown away by how easy it is to make renders and useful walk-through videos, which were key to making attractive promotional materials. This contributed to our most successful infrastructure build event to date. We are planning on hosting more aquaponic build workshops in the future.

			to Catarina, Renaud, me

			Hello Marcin and Catarina,

			I spoke about your project to Renaud Pawlak in CC who already knew about it, so it was easy to explain him the idea that he likes a lot.
			After our first release of an editor able to edit plans in JavaScript at http://www.sweethome3d.com/SweetHome3DOnlineManager.jsp , Renaud started a new service derived from it and available at https://www.sweethome3d.online which proposes to embed and customize Sweet Home 3D Online in the website of other companies.

			Your proposal doesn't specify how you would like to make your house models available to the public (from a customized version of Sweet Home 3D installer or from a customized version of Sweet Home 3D Online). To increase the visibility of these plans and the number of operating systems where you can use them, I would suggest a customized version of Sweet Home 3D Online, and Renaud and I are opened to build a special service of Sweet Home 3D Online that would match your idea.
			You could then propose on your web site your house plans with your own furniture libraries in this customized version to let users view and modify the plans. Sharing revenues from this service will depend on the various features we will have to provide to make it work (web hosting, support, service availability, shop management, credit card management, back office management...), and who will take care of them.

			Sweet Home 3D Online is based on Sweet Home 3D JS project which remains open source (available at https://sourceforge.net/p/sweethome3d/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/SweetHome3DJS/ with minimal server services available at https://sourceforge.net/p/sweethome3d/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/SweetHome3DJS/deploy/ ) but I don't know how much the sources of the whole service available at https://www.sweethome3d.online can be fully opened, and will let Renaud answer about this.

			Please share your thoughts about this proposal, and let's hope our partnership will be successful!

			Best regards,
			--

	The Global Village Construction Set focuses on modularity. We build modular machines and structures. Our construction is similar to pre-fab, but everything is fabricated on site, rather than in a factory. The walls are made of 4x8 foot modules and the roof is made of 4 x 16 foot modules. After modules have been built in the workshop, they are installed on site and coupled together - like legos.		The Global Village Construction Set focuses on modularity.

	Among the ranks of organizations who are actively bringing about this kind of societal transformation is Open Source Ecology (OSE), a NGO and hive of engineers, architects, inovators, farmers, and forward thinking pioneers who are condensing 250+ years of industrial knowledge into a single set of machines and tools that will allow individuals to accomplish industrial level infrastructure, machining, farming and energy projects on a small, local scale, using locally sourced and repurposed materials and biofuels. It’s called the Global Village Construction Set (GVCS).
