For me it is not an intellectual exercise. I am plugged into the political climate of just about anywhere just about 24x7 and I am deeply concerned about what I perceive to be happening around the world. I realize that online democratic process can be co-opted by just about anyone seeking power yet at the same time I must hold on to hope.<br>

Hello again, You have reached the 100 true fans marker and now it is on to the 200 hundred level. That's great! So I would like to become a true fan (previous-email said member...must have been confusing) at 25.00 US a month. Money order will be made out to Open Source Ecology and sent next Friday and every month thereafter.<br>
<br><font size="4"><span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 153);">Marcin, I need to offer this clarification...the experimenal farm idea I mentioned in a prior email in no way is intended to contravene your brilliant project plans towards building the world's first replicable village! I love the Open Farm Tech project! </span></font>We will not be able to build a village in fact...too too many by-laws!!!!! Actually, I suspect that what we are going to end up with something like a community stand alone farm, with very few buildings on it.<br>
In the meantime I am gradually working on illustrating a series of paradigms of community based farms for example: monastic farms, campsite farms, palliative care farms and so on based on actual models.Here are links to sites which are perhaps indicative of the "state of the art" in Canada: <a href="http://www.planetfriendly.net/community.html" target="_blank">http://www.planetfriendly.net/community.html</a> and <a href="http://www.wholevillage.org/" target="_blank">http://www.wholevillage.org/</a><br>
<br>In order to further your project here in Canada it might be a positive move forward if we -whoever we are- staged a grass roots event in Regina SK and or in Saskatoon focusing on aspects of Open Farm Tech as praxis....and doing some fundraising at the same time, Saskatchewan is the "agricultural capital of Canada" and there are a lot organic farms and forward thinking people here! <br>
<br>Please don't be alarmed with me I am very respectful of your project and will not be a loose cannon running around initiating project forks appendaged to the Open Farm Tech Agenda!!!!! In otherwords, I won't be acting independently of the groups approval re: events or fundraising ventures etc etc.<br>
