Hi all,

The best I could do is to (Q&D) translate their description:

<<Bricolabs is een wijdverspreid netwerk voor zowel de lokale als
internationale ontwikkeling van infrastructuren door communities.>>

Bricolabs is a widely distributed (geographically) network for local and
international community-based development of infrastructures

<<Het platform onderzoekt de nieuwe loop van open content, software en
hardware voor applicaties binnen communities, brengt mensen samen met
nieuwe technologieen en verspreide connectiviteit. Dit alles zonder de
voortdurende dominante focus van de IT industrie op beveiliging, bewaking
en de monopolie van informatie en infrastructuren.>>

The platform researches new streams (?) of open content, software and
hardware for applications within communities, brings people together with
new technologies and distributed connectivity. All this without a
constant, overbearing focus of the IT industry on security, surveillance
and information and infrastructures monopolidsation


Well, Ok, sounds all a bit vague to me ...

Cheerio, p+4D!
