Hi Robin Thanks for getting back to me. Most of the details for the event on the 15th can be seen at www.rane-research.org/InTransition. Most of the speakers will be talking about various aspects of sustainable design. Adrian Bowyer will talk about the development of his open source replicating machine. I want to try to get people interested in the idea of a more open or collaborative attutude to design, so that sustainable design solutions can be developed quicker and disseminated further...does that make any sense? I think it would be good to have some examples of open source software on display just to show how potent this way of working can be. If you would like to discuss this please give me a ring on 01209 890084 Best wishes Aaron > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Robin Cornelius" <robin.cornelius@xxxxxxxxx> > To: list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Re: [LUG] Forum on things open source > Date: Mon, 21 Jan 2008 22:18:49 +0000 > > > aaronmoore@xxxxxxxxxxxxx wrote: > > > > Posted by "Tom Moore" <aaronmoore@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > > > > > > Hi All > > I posted this a day or so ago but got no respos.
