			Hi Bob Berkebile,

			Thank you for the materials. Please see your entry on the Open Building Institute site and let me know if that is ok. Any further thoughts on your role? I stated "Provides subject matter expertise on the Living Building Challenge, which he co-founded, and on adding aesthetics into building design."
			based on our conversation.

			Catarina, project founder and my partner - looks forward to meeting you once you make your way up here. November 3 - our first build of the year - would be a good time to see the team build process.

			4 points:

			First, I also mentioned that we are looking for a significant number of subject matter experts (SMEs) in all areas of regenerative construction. If you look at our list of techonogy areas - and in particular - the features of our November build - do any SMEs come to mind, who would be willing to open source technical content? For example, we definitely need an open source thermoelectric generator design (using Peltier cells) integrated with our pellet space heat/water heat stove, the world's first practical home scale biodigester design for the temperate zones, or water filtration with an ozonator. As you see - all proven technologies - but we're trying to lower the barriers to them by availing critical designs to the public. Our idea here is to burn pellets for heat, such that our byproduct is continuous charcoal production for soil amendment and gasifier engine fuel.

			Second, we are close to launching - we decided on Wednesday, June 29.
			We are launching on Wednesday, June 29th (openbuildinginstitute.org, password OBI). You can see the Press Release - and 4 minute Kickstarter video in our preview which is nearing its final state. Please provide feedback on what we could improve.

			Third - note that in the Kickstarter, we are offering education webinars as part of our reward structure. Would you be willing to do a 1 hour webinar on the Living Building Challenge, which we could offer as a reward? I think many people would love to support our campaign for that particular reward. Please let me know your thoughts on this.

			And last - would you be able to help us get this launch published in any media during the next month of the campaign?

			Thanks,
			Marcin

			Hi Kenyatta,

			We are launching a new open source project on Wednesday the 29th (openbuildinginstitute.org, password OBI) to make affordable eco-housing accessible to everyone. We are using a swarm-based rapid build method + modular design to deliver quality housing at breakthrough cost and speed, using our open source equipment.

			We have pioneered 5 day builds of 800 square foot structures from scratch. We are going for Living Building Challenge (LBC) compliance. We want to take our build methods to high replicability. You can see the Press Release with pictures, our Kickstarter video in our preview (launching June 29).

			Because we're trying Whole Earth Catalogue style - to make state of art technique available under one roof - literally - we focus on subject matter experts. We'd like to continue our outreach to assembe an outstanding advisory team to make this happen. We have great social capital, so we'd like to build upon it in building advisory capacity while getting the word out.

			Would you be able to help on building our audience?


			Thanks,
			Marcin

			Hi Kevin,

			Laura Grace Weldon (who wrote about our Global Village Construction Set in Wired in 2012) suggested that I contact you regarding advisory assistance on our new eco-housing initiative.

			We are launching a new open source project on Wednesday the 29th (openbuildinginstitute.org, password OBI) to make affordable eco-housing accessible to everyone.

			The project is unique in that it attemps to pack all state of art technique (Whole Earth Catalog style) into one building. It requires a lot of knowhow - from technology to ecology to enterprise. One aspect is Would you be interested in helping - as a member of our brain trust Avisory Team? Requirement is 1 hour per quarter - by reviewing and suggesting new directions. Second, would you be able to help us get the word out?

			Thanks,
			Marcin

			We hear you on the codes, and we need major help on facilitating this pickle. We complied with all applicable codes in our builds on site - we don't have a building department in Maysville, Missouri. Our goal is to understand and meet industry standards of compliance - and we are shooting for Living Building Challenge compliance in our Nov. 2017 build.

			The thought process is that OBI paves the way for compliance. That means we design to code, and obtain various engineering approvals for stable designs, and provide sample arguments for compliance to building officials, expecting that they will have never seen many of the techniques that we are using. Our scope includes designs, build procedures (swarm builds), materials, and machines. Product testing is part of the game, such as 3rd party data on our CEBs. Basically, we make it easy for others to replicate by providing an arsenal of documentation.

			I read your bio, and we would like to invite you to the OBI Advisory Team for assistance on building codes and compliance.

			On the advisory role, the minimum requirement is 1 hour per quarter - details and list of expertise that we are seeking are at http://opensourceecology.org/wiki/OBI_SME_Advisors. If you accept, you would be put on our Who We Are - http://www.openbuildinginstitute.org/about-who-we-are/. We would need a picture of you in action like the others.

			I would say for you:
			: : ADVISOR ON COMPLIANCE
			Provides assistance in navigating international building codes, engineering approvals, local ordinances, material and product certifications, and other industry standards of performance.
