I've begun to meet with farmers and land owners within a 3 hour radius of New York City to discuss creating OSE-certified workshops on their land so they can begin building, modifying, improving and documenting OSE tools.  I've secured a spot on my friend's 200 acre 'tree farm' in Greentown, PA, but the land is virgin so there is much to build before we can start making OSE tools.  I've spoken to a number of organic farmers and investors in the area and people are very interested in putting together 'nodes in the OSE network' but there's an obvious lack of people who could run such a facility.

Are other people actively approaching land owners, farmers and investors about supporting Factor e Farm and putting OSE workshops together in their own communities?  If so, I'd like to begin a conversation, share best practices, collaborate on marketing materials, and document everything in the OSE wiki.  Also, let me know if you live in the NYC area.  We've got land in PA, office space in NYC and a half dozen people who want to build OSE tools and spread the message of abundance through free/libre/opensource development and deployment.
