Hi Patrice,

Edgeryders in. In the project I am in now NGI Forward.

I work with all channels, you can of course keep preaching to the converted, but in these days a message of JNM can find a lot of friendly ears,

Greetings, Rob

Ps offline for two days, on proposal

Besides being a notoriously dynamic, conf-hopping 'Post-it NGO', I mostly know them as the incubator of the 'UnMonastery' project - the results of which have been mixed, to put it charitably again. (OK, Matera became European Capital of Culture, partially thanks to it(s buzz ;-)
