Dear Friends,



Solar Fire, a cheap, scalable, easy to produce solar concentrator,
was part of the OSE project, but due to financial problems and change of
funding direction by USE USA it didn’t get enough funding and now Eerik
Wissenz, the founder of the Solar Fire project is forced to close the
source and sell the plans.

Nevertheless, there is one good news! We can still save it! All we have to do is:

Raise 5000 Euros till November 3, 2011!

We believe strongly that this project deserves to remain open sourced and we want to save it!

Thus we take responsibility and try to raise the money! Here is the
current list of people trying to save Solar Fire. Any contribution from
you would be very valuable!

• 100€ – Jamie Clark
• 1000€ – Nikolay Georgiev
• Total Raised – 1100€.

If you want to help keep it open source, please add yourself to
the list in the Wiki Page: http://opensourceecology.org/wiki/Saving_Solar_Fire with your email contact. For any additional questions you may have please ask in our open Google Group.

You can read the messages from Eerik Wissenz, Jamie Clarke and Nikolay Georgiev in the Wiki: http://opensourceecology.org/wiki/Saving_Solar_Fire
