I've moved to KCMO from Lawrence, KS to pursue metalsmithing of various kinds.  As an avid follower of permaculture(studied with Steve Moring of Vajra Farm) I've found myself extremely attracted to OSE.  After KU, where I studied Psychology and Math, I worked for Applied Ecological Services for nearly 3 years before turning to my secondary career of blacksmithing.  The idea of Open Source and Ecology is very alluring to me because I spent my childhood being raised on the internet; as having an older sibling who sincerely pushed himself in the field of Network Engineering(now works at Google), my natural aptitude for computers is in deep respect of his efforts.

I'm currently working with Boys Grow (http://www.boysgrow.com/) and am hoping to bring OSE to their farming practices.

I've apprenticed as a blacksmith for almost 4 years now and here is my website - http://malcolmlee.cold-sun.com

I've tried lurking on IRC to catch somebody from Factor E Farm and even sent an email regarding visitation, but I haven't been able to get a response from anybody in the past couple weeks.  I hope this message reaches somebody in the KCMO area.

Thanks for you time,

Malcolm
