	~~Location: Brisbane, Australia~~

	~~I'm a true fan.~~

	I'm an IT guy by trade. Mostly Microsoft system administration, but I've got some web skills, and enough open source experience from the last 15 years. I can drive a Linux box, Ubuntu or CentOS/Fedora/Redhat, and have some experience with Mediawiki/CiviCRM/Wordpress etc.

	~~These days I'm an IT manager, with 6 years of managing technical teams, and an eye for what works, what needs to change, strategically & operationally.~~

	~~I'm interested to help with web content & collaboration systems.~~

	~~I think the GVCS idea combines all kinds of big shifts in the world today:~~
	* open source collaborative design
	* the maker movement
	* cognitive surplus, as Clay Shirky calls it
	* developing local fuel sources including biomass - crucial for a post-carbon world
	* permaculture
	~~and more.~~

	~~I think the big challenges will be organisational.~~
	* Attracting enough project leaders
	* Collaboration infrastructure - a standard toolset for design & collaboration
	* Setting up governance for managing funding
	* The ability to scale out as fast as desired (50 functioning prototypes in 2 years!)
	* Getting other groups replicating the designs
	* Balancing manufacturing time - testing & developing the open source business model in reality - against developing designs, and developing the organisation/connecting people

	~~When I look at the next things the project might need to focus on, I see:~~
	* Targeting and encourage other groups who try to replicate the designs in practice. That's the way to get things snowballing. It will also lead to improved instructions (they'll ask about what they don't understand) and more collaborators.
	* Narrowing down on a few key designs at a time. As much as I like the big goal of all 50 GVCS designs in 2 years, the danger is they're all 10% done & not getting traction. Better to have ten designs that are going gangbusters being used around the world. It will snowball up from there. [OS software analogy: Linus Torvalds wrote the kernel - he didn't write everything in the GNU/Linux distributions! And that's with software where it's faster to collaborate, test, iterate remotely. You just hit compile - you don't have to compile with a welder, angle grinder, & torch table"
	* Super-clear documentation. The design isn't just what's in your heads, or the objects you produce at FactorEFarm. It's what others are able to reproduce - that's the point of the "open source" bit. And it's the way to gain momentum out there.
	* Continuous tuning of the material on the web. Marcin's got such an interconnected, detailed vision in his head, and it can't spill out fast enough. I can see exactly how it fits together, but it could be daunting to people who are new to it, and who might "get" it if the material was structured even more. I'll try to get involved here as a WikiGardener
	* Finding project leaders. Target all of the people who have the right skills, and the time/inclination. Students and baby boomer retirees: industrial design, engineering, machinists, etc. They have time, the inclination, and aren't yet wage/mortgage slaves like middle aged family people (like me)
	* Collaboration infrastructure. A clear "here's how to host the project you're leading" package for new project leaders: here's your discussion board, your documentation space, your email group, please use these design tools if you can, etc.
	* Some financial backers! America seems to me full of big-ideas people who fund things they love, even if it's not a "going concern". People fund Wikipedia and PBS. Mark Shuttleworth launched Ubuntu partly as a business, but mostly because he believes it.
	* Legal advice! In 5 years GVCS might threaten some manufacturing companies, who might then try to shut things down with patents/intellectual property cases.

==='''WHY''' are you motivated to support/develop this work?===
*''Do you endorse open source culture?''
Yes - I started using the first Linux distrubution (Slackware) in 1996.

*''Why are you interested in collaborating with us?''
I think the GVCS is a time whose idea has come, combining all kinds of big shifts in the world today: open source collaborative design, local manufacture, permaculture, local fuel, and more. I also think the organisational stuff needs some help at this stage.

*''How do you think that the GVCS can address pressing world issues?''
Local fuel & manufacturing are crucial for the post-carbon first world, and for the developing world.Thanks for what you're doing, the ideas are audacious, brave, generous, and necessary. In some ways they're the only sane response to what's happening in the world!

*''What should happen so that you become more involved with the project?''
I'd like to pay a visit. And I'd like to spend an hour or so each week helping where I can.

*''What are you missing in the project?''
Enough project leaders.Organisational stuff: governance.Collaboration infrastructure.The ability to scale out!Other groups replicating your designs.

*''What are your suggestions for improvement of the project?''
I lost a huge set of edits here when I hit submit, let's see if I can remember. 
1) Target & encourage other groups who could try to replicate your designs. That's the way to get things snowballing. It will also lead to improved instructions (they'll ask about what they don't understand) and more collaborators. 
2) That might mean focusing down on a few key designs at a time. As much as I like the big goal of all 50 GVCS designs in 2 years, the danger is they're all 10% done & not getting traction. Better to have ten designs that are going gangbusters being used around the world. It will snowball up from there. 
3) Focus on super-clear documentation. The design isn't just what's in your heads, or the objects you produce at FactorEFarm. It's what others are able to reproduce - that's the point of the "open source" bit. And it's the way to gain momentum out there. 
4) This is almost the same as 3 - continuous tuning of the material on the web. Marcin's got such an interconnected, detailed vision in his head, and it can't spill out fast enough. I can see exactly how it fits together, but it could be daunting to people who are new to it, and who might "get" it if the material was structured even more. I'm offering help here in particular. 
5) Project leaders. Target all of the people who have the right skills, and the time/inclination. Students and baby boomer retirees: industrial design & engineering. They have time, the inclination, and aren't yet wage/mortgage slaves like middle aged Gen-Xers (like me). 
6) Collaboration infrastructure. A clear "here's how to host the project you're leading" start-up for new project leaders: here's your discussion board, your documentation space, your email group. 
7) A backer - America seems full of big-ideas people who fund things they love. Like Mark Shuttleworth for Ubuntu, like the people who fund Wikipedia and PBS. 
8) Some open-source legal advice. In 5 years you might have threatened manufacturing companies trying to shut you down with patents/intellectual property cases. I'd say talk to the guy who knows: Eben Moglen.

==='''WHAT'''===
*''List all of your skills in these areas: Communications - Organizational - Computer Support - Finances - Design - Natural Building - Electronics - Automation - Metallurgy - Engineering - Fabrication - Agriculture - Energy - Architecture - Video/Graphics/Art - PR/Marketing - Education - Construction - Industry - CNC - Chemistry - Product Design - Other''
Organisational - 6 years of managing technical teams, and an eye for what works, what needs to change, strategically & operationally. 
Computer support - I'm an IT guy by trade. Mostly Microsoft system administration, but I've got some web skills, and enough open source experience from the last 15 years. I can drive a Linux box, Ubuntu or CentOS/Fedora/Redhat, and have some experience with Mediawiki/CiviCRM/Wordpress etc.

*''How have you already contributed to the project?''
I'm a true fan.

==='''HOW''' can you help?''===
*''How are you interested in contributing to the work of GVCS development?''
I'm really interested in the organisational roles, although you really need a collaborator locally, not on the other side of the world.So I'll focus on help with web content & web systems.

*''Can you volunteer to work with us, and if so, how many hours per week?''
I'm busy, but I'm going to try to find one-two hours a week to do web content editing for you.

*''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?''
If you get to the point where you can fund people to do that stuff. At the moment, save your pennies!

*''Are you interested in [http://openfarmtech.org/wiki/Dedicated_Project_Visit Dedicated Project Visit]?''
Absolutely. I'm the US for a few days in June, so I'd love to pay a short visit while the opportunity is there. Then in a year I'm planning to have my life organised so I can afford to take a month out of my other work life to do this.

*''Are you interested in purchasing equipment from us to help bootstrap development?''
No

*''Are you interested in bidding for consulting/design/prototyping work?''
No

*''Are you a [http://openfarmtech.org/wiki/True_Fans True Fan]? If not, why not?''
Yes

*''Would you like to see yourself working with us on a full-time basis?''
I'd be there now if I didn't have a family. I'm really interested in the organisational development roles though, if things take off, and it looks like you really need it, let's talk.

*''Are you interested in using the technologies that we are developing directly?''
Eventually - but it would need to be when they come within range of the committed amateur who has no previous welding/machining skills.

*''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 - as a beacon of light to benefit of all people on Earth.
I'd really love to - I'd be there now if I didn't have a wife & child. I'm not sure I can ask them to make the same leap though quite yet. I'm working on that.But, maybe the _second_ open source resilient community, based on your design? Let's see if we can't get one going in Australia...
