Hi, my name is Jeremy Mason and I'm writing from Factor E Farm in
Missouri, USA. We're leading the Open Source Ecology movement
dedicated to building the first replicable, modern self-sufficient
resilient communities. See our blog http://www.OpenFarmTech.org/weblog/
and our wiki http://www.OpenFarmTech.org for the open source hardware
we're developing, including a Compressed Earth Brick Press and a multi-
purpose tractor. 'Open Source' means is that it is free of charge to
the public.

We hope some of you find the project interesting and useful!

Thanks to Mornflake cereal http://www.mornflake.com and their online
video contest http://www.mornflakecompetition.com we're able to spend
time to reach out to UK online communities. The idea is that it makes
more sense for us to promote each other then for them to promote
themselves.

We're looking for experts and researchers to help us create open
source plans for a Babington burner, a pyrolysis oil fast reactor, a
solar concentrator. We're working towards a Resilient Community
Construction Kit of 40 technologies. We're also looking for seasonal
volunteers.

I see this group has a long history and I am not sure who or how we
might help. If I knew more about your interests, then I could help
link you with other communities. Are there any that you might
recommend? I am reading about Steve Rawlings' tractor troubles. That's
one of the reasons that Marcin built the LifeTrac tractor.

Thank you and take care.

Jeremy

I think that we would have a spot of trouble of the Health and Safety
Police walked onto the farm and found one of these in work! Interesting
concept though.

Might even be closed down on the spot.
