Initial 'Feeler' Email Template:
Dear [Organization],
I recently stumbled upon your initiative at http://www.transitionnetwork.org/initiatives and I wholeheartedly agree with your efforts to bring people together around transition. I feel that your organizational vision aligns very much with my own values as well as the volunteer work I am currently doing for Open Source Ecology. Have you heard of us? We are building, what we call, the Global Village Construction Set (GVCS) – a set of 40 open source machines meant to jump-start community resilience and lower the barriers-to-entry.
The machines are being built and shared via open source methods, so we can freely provide the information and plans necessary to build resilient communities from the ground up. We are 100% crowd-funded by supporters, which we call True Fans --and we welcome you to join us. This is our latest video showcasing the GVCS, which was created by a True Fan: http://vimeo.com/16431347
We would be grateful if you could pass our work on to your membership, partners and friends, and encourage them to support and collaborate with us. We are also interested in speaking engagements. The commitment of a single new True Fan is enough to fund a trip for guest speaking or a presentation by the founder of Open Source Ecology, Marcin Jakubowski, Ph.D. This month we will be on a tour in California to present our vision and progress to several Transition Town initiatives. It is in this light that we believe everyone should have access to the tools necessary to create true community resilience. For more information, see our blog: http://blog.opensourceecology.org/ and our main (beta) organizational platform at http://openecology.org/
Deep Regards, Open Source Ecology
Follow-up Email Template:
Greetings [contact person]!
Thank you so much for your response. We are currently in the process of integrating a network of collaborators and developers at http://openecology.org/, which will be our main organizational website for the Global Village Construction Set (GVCS). We appreciate the part you play in making the GVCS a reality! Please stay in touch with any follow-up questions. Again, we are available to give presentations at your convenience. Feel free to contact us at any point and together may we uplift the world for a brighter future!
Deep regards, Open Source Ecology

Hi Marcin -
We received your email and would be interested in hearing more about what you do. What is your presentation like? Film/powerpoint/lecture? What is your goal? Awareness-building? Finding people to learn your technologies? Fundraising? Is there a charge for your presentation? What dates were you planning to be in L.A.?
We have several Transition groups across the greater L.A. area and I can poll them to see which ones would like to host.

Hello Adam, Thank you for contacting the Global Ecovillage Network. I looked at your website and agree that your mission closely aligns with that of our network. GEN does not currently have a set membership but each region disperses information in their own way, so I am copying your message to the GEN Board of Directors (that represent each of the GEN regions) so that they might get to know your group and the effort you all have set out to accomplish. I hope the board will contact you for ways that we can support each others work and accomplish more in our effort towards a planet in balance. Keep up the great work! Sincerely, Jessica DuBoe GEN Administrative Assistant
Adam,
Cutting to the chase: We're blown away by what you're doing. How did we not know of you before?
We'd love to talk more and be kept in the loop on what you're doing. In the mean time, I'll spread the word about your vid and blog via FB and Twitter right now.
Seriously. Amazing and inspiring work. How did it go with BFI? I know one of the board members over there....

Hi Mitch,
Looks very cool and have forwarded it on to a few different groups. If you make it up to Portland, Oregon, please let me know.
thanks,
+ Jeremy
Dear Adam,
Thank you for contacting us.
I Forwarded your email to my TTA colleagues, so we can consider how we might wish to connect with your enterprise.
Take care, Lance
Adam,
I just saw this email and I really like the idea of the Global Village Construction Set.
I think that the GVCS and the inclusion of Open Source is a real game changer.
I recently fabricated an electric auger that I successfully used for a Geothermal Heat Pump. You might be interested.
I also have successfully re-purposed a small dehumidifier into a very efficient heat pump. Again, you might be interested.
I looked at the Power Cube, great idea!
I wasn't able to find any drawings or construction details, which I assume would be fundamental to the Open Source concept.
Please advise.
Best Regards,
-Jim Wrathall

Hi Adam For some reason your email want to my junk mail folder which I seldom check, hence my slow response to your email!
I am seeing Marcin's presentation this Wednesday and am really looking forward to it. I love what you are doing.
I have cc'd Shelby - so she can add this to our newsletter.
I look forward to promoting this as widely as we can.
Sincerely,
