WHY are you motivated to support/develop this work?

 * Do you support open source culture? In a similar theme to salivdor dali, I dont support open source, i am open source.


 * ''Why are you interested in collaborating with us? Im really interested in meeting everyone and working with will, alvaro, nikolay, jalil, jesus, alba, erik eva, ezequiel and all the other great people who want to make millares the first site of OSE Eu.


 * How do you think the GVCS 50 and open source hardware can address pressing world issues? I believe the gvcse 50 is part of a happy ending to the greatest story ever told. In the universe. With a few more bells and whistles, there isn't a process i cant imagine taking care of with it !


 * What do you like about OSE europe?I like how everyone develops ideas together in the open, encourages constant innovation and keeps up to date through conference calls on sky and teamspeak.


 * What should happen so that you can become more involved in OSE europe? I need to get an income so i can start sourcing materials and or come up with a complete development plan for millares.


 * What is missing from OSE europe? We don't have a formal way to make a group decision. We also need a clear cost plan for solar fire and millares in general


 * Can you make any suggestions to improve OSE europe? I think everything is going well if we can keep exchanging information we will come up with a clear plan in december when there will be a meeting of members from europe in spain to survey millares.

 * How have you already contributed to OSE, OSE Europe and Open Source Hardware?

HOW can you help?
Must...build... infrastructure!
 * How do you want to contribute?
 * Can you volunteer to work with us, and if so, how many hours per week? Or do you have a free timeframe (week, month)?  I can offer alot of help :) at the moment im doing about an hour a day online and two hours prototyping the food production system.


 * Are you interested in working with us for pay? If so, what services can you offer, and what is your hourly or per-project rate? If you want to pay me to build the system for you and then leave i will charge 500 pounds for a 6m dome and 1500 for a 12m dome. For aquaponics system set up will charge 500 euros for 100 fish system and 1500 euros for a 1000 fish system. I am willing to make at least one 12m dome and 1000 fish aquaponics tank for free if the funding is donated.

Spain or anywhere in europe.
 * Are you interested in a Dedicated Project Visit in OSE Communities in Europe? If so in which country?

Yes, millares or anywhere. solar fire, laser cutter, 3d printer, robotic arm, gasifier, universal power supply etc..... I dont not support development of the clay aluminium extractor as i feel this will contaminate any site it is used on with uranium hexaflouride. extraction from bauxite creates uranium laden phosphate which is used in agriculture. Im currently unemployed and feel my energy would be better spent developing prototypes. Yes, definitely. No.
 * Are you interested in being part of one of the OSE communities in Europe? If so in which country?
 * Are you interested in building GVCS or other Open Source Hardware equipment in Europe? If so which ones?
 * Are you an OSE True Fan? If not, why not?
 * Would you like to see yourself working with us on a full-time basis?
 * Do you own land which could be of interest to us to develop an OSE Community or an Open Enterprise?

Your Friends and Community

 * What friends, people, communities and organizations do you know who are already doing valuable work for a better future? For example: open source hardware/software, sustainable agriculture, natural building, renewable energy, abundance based economies, local production or others? talking to someone on youtube who got EU funding for a project similar to mine, waiting to find out more.

My family needs access to LED lighting, electricity, rainwater collection, sewage treatment and natural gas. Yes they are, i will make sure to include them in my youtube videos more!
 * What are the technological (machines, tools, structures, ...) and biological (people, animals, plants, ...) needs of your community so that it becomes self-sufficient locally and globally connected?
 * Are your friends and community doing valuable work for a better future? How can they become more involved in this process and share more with everyone?
