WHY are you motivated to support/develop this work?
- Do you endorse open source culture?
I am building an IT organization based on Open Sources Technologies, I am trying to embrace the culture by giving back.
- Why are you interested in collaborating with us?
I need the practice.
I have been operating out of a tent for 2 years now, and not much productivity has resulted. I am beyond a crisis state of poverty, and I am tied of working for free ( well at a cost cause if was free I should still have money) and I want to contribute and help our community grow and prosper. Me being inactive over here is not helping our society. I like Marcin's idea of completing major sections of his proposal before the apocalypse comes, and If I can help, I would love to offer my services.

we can work on reducing our foot print and resource demand.

- Are you interested in being part of the world's first, open source, resilient community? The GVCS is the preparatory step for the OSE Village Experiment – a 2 year, immersion experiment (2013-2014) for testing whether a real, thriving, modern-day prototype community of 200 people can be built on 200 acres using local resources and open access to information? We are looking for approximately 200 people to fill a diverse array of roles, according to the Social Contract that is being developed. This may be the boldest social experiment on earth - a pioneering community whose goal is to extend the index of possibilities regarding harmonious existence of humans, ecology, and technology.
I would definitely be interested, long as there was room for my bike.
Would also need dry storage for tools, I would need tools for a 2 year commitment.
