==Getting collaborators==
==Recruiting==
It was agreed that the first thing is to create a platform at opensourceecology.org that facilitates collaboration. The priority now is creating this platform; then we can start actively going after collaborators from Hackerspaces, colleges etc. etc.
# Find [[subject matter experts]]
 
We can get interns to do certain things.

Liora and Andrew Langford from Gaia University, January 2010

We are looking for students at universities who are interested in further theoretical development of the open source economic development model:

  1. Innovative business students to study the neo-commercialization model
  2. Philosophy students to study the peer-to-peer economy model
  3. Students of industrial, electrical, mechanical, and other engineering disciplines to explore developing open source technologies
  4. Computer science students to develop of innovative software platforms for collaboration
  5. Students of rural sociology, as this is a revolution of the countryside

Did the thing with Gaia University ever happen? I noticed they are offering post-Masters certificates. Does OSE want to encourage people to take advantage of Gaia's open courses to study some of the things proposed as potential doctorate programs?

Negotiate independent study projects with students at colleges and universities? Is this still a potential reality?
