I am living in the Ribalske, Summys region, Ukraine from the end of 2012. Ribalske is small rural settlement with population less than 500 persons.
My wife and I moved from the Zaporozhye to this place because we want to live in more sustainable way. Here we have enough space to start open source development and fabrication projects.
