Hi, Marcin--it is so exciting, what you're doing. We've been talking to University folk and it looks like we can make something happen, but not till fall, the semester being almost over.
I have a comment about the heavy hoe, which sounds like a tool we'd love to have except for one thing: the metal handle. They may last forever, but they will conspire to cripple the user, sending shock waves upward till they reach the first yielding material they encounter--your tissues. Though subject to periodic breakage, a wooden handle mutes these shock waves considerably.  As my friend James--a construction supervisor of many years--said upon seeing my metal-handled hammer: "put that thing in the bottom of your toolbox and forget you have it."
==Open Ecotech 1==
[[First World Conference on Open Source Ecology]] - Open Ecotech 1 - the First World Conference on Open Source Ecology
Open Ecotech 1 is the first worldwide, working conference on [[Open Source Ecology]]. It is being held at Factor e Farm – in the Kansas City area of central USA. This is the longest-lasting conference in the world.  It has officially begun with the inception of the  [[1000 True Fans - 1000 Global Villages campaign]] - and it lasts until the end of 2010. We aim to complete the entire basic [http://openfarmtech.org/index.php?title=GVCS Global Village Construction Set (GVCS)] as an outcome of the conference.
Open Ecotech 1 is a working conference, where interested participants submit a proposal for 1 month long projects, to be carried out at Factor e Farm. These projects develop individual components of the GVCS – by completing prototype and testing cycles – until product release. You can see the Status of active projects  [http://openfarmtech.org/index.php?title=Category:Status here]. You may view a theoretical background for the project in our [http://openfarmtech.org/OSE_Proposal.doc proposal from early 2008].
We are seeking those who are committed deeply to making a better world. We have proposed a campaign for developing the technology and ecology tools for a new civilization. See the [http://openfarmtech.org/weblog/?p=458 1000 True Fans - 1000 Global Villages campaign] on the blog - and view all the [http://openfarmtech.org/index.php?title=Distillations supporting videos here].
