Hi Marcin

Thanks for replying! Hope everyone in MO is doing well. I went to Mizzou and grew up in KCMO, so I'm a bit fan of that part of the country.

The idea is very much in the early stages of development, but the current idea is to use the open-source plans for various machines and your extreme manufacturing process in a competition format that has two teams racing to build and implement a series of design/builds over the course of time. It could be the Eco-Home or a variation of that, or it could be several structures, etc. I think the contestants would each be given a plot of land to work with and they would live on that land while they built the house. Ideally, the structures would then benefit a community somehow: be sold, auctioned, given away, etc.

I think the level of involvement and resources from you guys largely depends on how we proceed and what the end idea is. At the very least, consultation and some sort of producer role would be necessary to execute this faithfully. From a monetary perspective, there are definitely fees involves both for your time and for the organization's involvement which would be worked out once we get an interested party.

I'd love to set a time to talk with you and the rest of my team and we can explain the process in more depth.

Thanks again for your interest!

Chris
