OFN in the News - Shareable and L'Atelier
Want to learn more about where OFN has come from and how it links to the bigger picture? Following from our fantastic exposure in Smartplanet late last year Darren Sharp has written a great piece in Shareable, an international online magazine about trends in the sharing economy. Also L'Atelier who track disruptive technology across the world have given us a great little treatment - thanks!

Funding and Partnerships
We are very excited to announce a new partnership with Sustainable Table and a Private Ancillary Fund who have committed some funding and technology and business strategy advice for OFN development. Special thanks to Hayley Morris for persistence and belief in us!
Follow progress with our VicHealth seed project on the VicHealth blog and also via TACSI.

Help us make it happen!
Passionate volunteers make this project - ask us about options for helping out on occasional tasks and/or more substantive roles (tech and non-tech). Priorities for us now are:
- Testers: no tech skills required, 1 hour every couple of weeks, be the first to try new features!
- SLF event and stall: we need people to help out at our Sustainable Living Festival event on 15th Feb and also to help us cover our SLF stall - particularly on Friday 14th and Sunday 16th; 2 hour slots available.
- UX: particularly moving into the next phase of designing enterprise user experience, we need all hands on deck.

Meet the Team: Raf
Every newsletter we'll introduce you to someone new! Raf Schouten has been amazing both in helping us work out the logic of the most gnarliest problems and also applying his drupal wizardry to our soon to be released Open Food Foundation website. Not just any website, but a collaboration platform for open food projects across the world and more immediately, a much more effective way to support our growing OFN community. Raf is about to head to the northern hemisphere to meet cool people and do cools things - taking general excitement about OFN with him.
