https://www.facebook.com/groups/napermacultureconvergence/ - The Miracle Orchard workshop is coming up on July 25-26 at Open Source Ecology for those interested in the nuts and bolts of perennial polyculture orchards - beyond organic. We are planning on the first Les Fermes Miracle Farms model orchard in the USA as an outcome, so anyone interested in replicating this work is welcome.

Noisebridge FB - Hi Noisebridge friends - are you interested in collaborating on workshops? We run mictrotractor builds and other events - this may be interesting to you - for example - wood powered mictrotractor - http://opensourceecology.org/gasifier-and-biochar-workshop/

Hackerspaces FB page - Announcing a Documentation Sprint where we produce instructionals for the latest stable version of the open source Power Cube - v15.6 - to be built in our upcoming workshop - http://bit.ly/1A3ncCT. For the Documentation Sprint - we are meeting this Friday, 5 PM CST USA time on the OSE Hangout. Instructions for how to participate in this documentation sprint are summarized in this explainer video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTgbTXERSWY

Hammerspace FB - Dear Hammerspace, we'd like to consider collaborating on immersion build workshops on the open source carbon-negative microtractor powered by charcoal - or other similar topics. Are you interested in hosting a microtractor build at your place? This is a link - http://opensourceecology.org/gasifier-and-biochar-workshop/

Hi Public Lab people - we will be holding a workshop that includes converting aerial photos to geolocated maps in our Open Source Mapping and Site Design Workshop. We will have at least one aerial drone - but we are interested in having more drones on site to get more detailed coverage. Would any people in your audience be interested in this course? We can offer 25% off the workshop cost to those who bring a drone equipped with camera to help collect data. Please see http://bit.ly/1FnPVhm and pass this on to your audience.

Ouishare Factory FB - For anyone interested in hands-on crash courses in fabrication, we are deploying a build of our carbon negative open source microtractor powered by local biomass. This workshop may mark a turning point for a smaller machine in Open Source Ecology's set - which can have wider popular appeal. See http://bit.ly/1Ic8aZ

Tweeted: Did you ever see a carbon-negative, open source Micro-Tractor that runs on locally harvested biomass? http://bit.ly/1Ic8aZ4

Peter Donovan, info@soilcarboncoalition.org - Hi Peter, I found out about your project from Dorn Cox at Farmhack. I am the founder of Open Source Ecology, and I am wondering if you have any resources regarding continuous charcoal production for making biochar. We are building a carbon negative, open source microtractor powered by char - and intend to use that regularly. For that to be realistic, we would like to build a continuous biochar production system. Do you have any insights on individuals who can assist in this - and who believe in open source design? And by the way, if you can pass the biochar microtractor workshop announcement on to your network, that would be great. http://bit.ly/1Ic8aZ4
