Hi Joana, (Paperhouses.co)
As a leader on open source architecture - we would like to invite you as an advisor to Open Source Ecology's new collaboration, the Open Building Institute.
Please see the site - http://openbuildinginstitute.org/ - password OBI - and feel free to share this with colleagues - though this is not for public circulation until our product launch and Kickstarter on June 14, 2016. The site is under construction - please see the slider at the main page.
Specifically, we are planning a 675 square foot showcase model for a Nov. 2016 build, with these features:

Part of this work is developing a collaboration platform for open design, where people submit designs using our design language and system. Also, we are dealing with various execution issues, such as compliance.
We would like to have you on our advisory team in a capacity :
1. Advising/collaborating on an open source collaboration platform. 2. Collaboration on actual design or execution 3. Spreading the word 4. Other?
The requirement for our advisory team is a minimum of 1 hour per quarter of volunteer consulting time, with product being 100% genuine open source. The full agreement is posted at http://opensourceecology.org/wiki/OBI_SME_Advisors. I would also appreciate that if you cannot advise us, please recommend someone else - or if you know of any other SMEs in the areas included in the last link - please let me know. You would be featured on the OBI site under About - Who We Are, along with a stellar team of advisors - which we are building now until the June 14 Product Launch.
Do you see any other initiatives we can collaborate on? What are your current priorities? Let us know if we can help you on Paperhouses in some way.
Thanks, Marcin Founder Open Source Ecology

The biogas digester is one of the features. It would be a flush separating toilet with an insinkerator and pump, coupled to an adjacent, insulated, stacked tote biodigester that provides 100% cooking gas for 2 and fertilizer for the garden. We are looking at a soak pit for urine in the immediate term, and aquaponic greenhouse integration for urine in later stages. We are also looking to build a rainwater-to-potable system, such that the November 2016 model is a 675 sf autonomous house with a $22k BOM cost.
Please let me know if you can advise us on the biodigester part. The requirement is a minimum of 1 hour per quarter of volunteer consulting time, with product being 100% genuine open source. The full agreement is posted at http://opensourceecology.org/wiki/OBI_SME_Advisors. I would also appreciate that if you cannot advise us, please recommend someone else - or if you know of any other SMEs in the areas included in the last link - please let me know. We are gathering a team for the next month until our product launch.
