 * Name Mongin Denis
 * location Lyon, France

 * education 2009/2012 PhD student in experimental physic, working on optical study to perform ultrafast time resolved experiment on metallic or hybrid nanoparticles master of physic interaction light matter from university Paris 11

WHY are you motivated to support/develop this work?

 * Do you support open source culture?

Yes I do. I think that it is the best way to bypass the organisation of the actual industrial world, to share knowledge that has to be accesible and free


 * Why are you interested in collaborating with us?

Yes, i defenitively want to


 * How do you think that the GVCS and Open Source Hardware can address pressing world issues?

I think that there are mainly three big problem in our world now : the need of permanent economical growth, the financial and social inegality between people, and the ecological problem. The economical growth is due to permanent increase of work division, the inegality do to work organisation and social organisation, and the ecological problem due to excess of technology, delocalisation, and the economical growth. My point of view is that the GVCS can solve these problems, by giving an accesible, free technology, that doesn't use programed obsolesence, that allows people to have access to modular means of production. This allows a local low cost and ecological production, and gives opportunity to new work organisation as no one owns the idea of the machine. Having open source energy production would be a big step for solving ecological problem, aswell as recyclable machines.

Your Friends and Community
The people I know are more thinking than doing, but I thing that if we manage to do a real comunity and to develop the GVS, a lot of them would love to join and to reproduce the model in other part of the world.
