I've e-mailed a few of you directly and the response so far is really
positive so...

I know some of you have paid attention to or followed my personal efforts as
well as the efforts of our organization in Ghana.

I even brought back some metalworking photos from my trip this year if
anyone remembers those...

I'd like to add anyone who might be interested to our mailing list for our
newsletter. It will cover what's going on, what our needs are,
opportunities for you and others to join is in Ghana or locally, etc.
Nothing high pressure, lots of basic ground level info.

If you might be interested in receiving this, please shoot me your postal
address.

Here is a short clip from T.E.D. that may be of interest to
not only you but the many people on the NG that like to
build their own "stuff."

About this talk

Using wikis and digital fabrication tools, TED Fellow Marcin
Jakubowski is open-sourcing the blueprints for 50 farm
machines, allowing anyone to build their own tractor or
harvester from scratch. And that's only the first step in a
project to write an instruction set for an entire
self-sustaining village (starting cost: $10,000).
