WHY are you motivated to support/develop this work?
Absolutely. I believe open source culture is the next wave of evolution.
 * Do you endorse open source culture?

I'm interested in collaborating with you because I find what you're doing very, very valuable. I went to Haiti after the earthquake and saw firsthand what famine and starvation is. If you can put the tools that lead to a self sustaining community in someone's hand, I'm all for it. I think it'd be really valuable to do videos where the technologies are taken to impoverished communities and shown to be successful.
 * Why are you interested in collaborating with us?

I think they can address pressing world issues by giving the people the tools to empower themselves and provide for themselves without government assistance.
 * How do you think that the GVCS can address pressing world issues?

I'd like to meet the people running the GVCS and see things on the ground floor and help create the instructional videos and more.
 * What should happen so that you become more involved with the project?

Maybe smaller things, a tractor is a little daunting.
 * What are you missing in the project?

I'd need more information on the project before I can offer any advice.
 * What are your suggestions for improvement of the project?

WHAT
Video - video production including writing, shooting, lighting, audio, editing. Marketing - strong word of mouth marketer and grassroots organizer
 * List all of your skills in these areas: Communications - Organizational - Computer Support - Finances - Design - Natural Building - Electronics - Automation - Metallurgy - Engineering - Fabrication - Agriculture - Energy - Architecture - Video/Graphics/Art - PR/Marketing - Education - Construction - Industry - CNC - Chemistry - Product Design - Other

I attended the TED talk at the Nelson and bought tickets for me friends to go. We each told a bunch of people so we're helping spread the word.
 * How have you already contributed to the project?

HOW can you help?''
I'm interested in helping by producing instructional videos, commercials, interviews, and marketing consultation. I think it'd be really valuable to take the technologies to other countries and do video segments on how it can change their culture and community.
 * How are you interested in contributing to the work of GVCS development?

I can, I can volunteer up to 10 hours a week right now.
 * Can you volunteer to work with us, and if so, how many hours per week?

I am, I can offer video production for instructional videos, commercials, interviews, marketing and brand storytelling to help get people emotionally connected with the OSE.
 * 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?

I am for the future, but not right now. I'm just now getting over a 3 year illness from toxic black mold syndrome.
 * Are you interested in Dedicated Project Visit?

Possibly.
 * Are you interested in purchasing equipment from us to help bootstrap development?

No.
 * Are you interested in bidding for consulting/design/prototyping work?

I'm not yet, but I fully support the 1,000 true fan model. I am a big proponent of it and would love to be one for the OSE but I'm strapped for cash at the moment.
 * Are you a True Fan? If not, why not?

Yes, I would love to be involved with your organization on a full time basis.
 * Would you like to see yourself working with us on a full-time basis?

Yes, definitely and I have several friends who are urban organic farmers that could put your technologies to use to.
 * Are you interested in using the technologies that we are developing directly?

Yes, I am interested.
 * ''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 - as a beacon of light to benefit of all people on Earth.
