Invitation

Next week we welcome Marcin Jakubowski, TED fellow & founder of Open Source Ecology, to Milwaukee for 3 public lectures on social entrepreneurship. He'll be at MSOE, UW-Milwaukee & Marquette (details are below).

Open Source Ecology is a non-profit organization with the goal of designing 50 industrial machines that it takes to build a small, sustainable civilization with modern comforts. The idea is that true economic power can be unleashed in developing countries when they gain access to the CAD files, how-to videos and other engineering specs required to make tools to build houses, agricultural equipment, etc. Here's a TED talk from the founder... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPH0GV-4NpQ

Quick and dirty google doc with key personnel. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mpSEGTsKQS5haif-PPAv8mW34RRKaenZc2kCdwuH20s/edit?usp=sharing

I'm trying to set up a 1-hour boardroom-style meeting with you and 4-8 campus influencers at each school. The idea is to get a president of habitat, president of engineers without borders, presidents of SAE & ASME, etc. and put everyone in a room together to brainstorm ways to get the campus involved in OSE. Ideally, we want the influencers to step up to the plate and create a OSE student org at each school (typically you only need 4 interested students and 1 faculty member to get it started) but obviously you want it well-funded and popular on campus.
