Hi Vanessa,

you have all the reasons in the world to be 'suspicious' - the world of so-called 'international development' and 'knowledge transfer' are usually anything but. And this is where the idea for the initiative lies, and is the reason why I think the brico-community is important in the discussion. I don't know where it's going to end up at the moment, and certainly the scenario is precarious, but most agencies that work at stabilisation, infrastructure creation etc in transition regions know surprisingly little about the open source / open technologies communities, and their models of sustainability etc - so at the very least, those agencies can learn something from these practices, projects and initiatives.

greetings,

stephen
