Hi Nikolay,<div><br></div><div>I am definitely working in the same direction.</div><div><br></div><div>I cc: p2pfoundation list ; Marcin , and a few other friends living in , or in between,</div><div>Berlin and Leipzig</div>
<div><br></div><div>- see links Nikolay shares -</div><div><a href="http://oseeurope.org/2012/01/creating-ose-community-in-germany/" target="_blank">http://oseeurope.org/2012/01/<u></u>creating-ose-community-in-<u></u>germany/</a> (in English)<br>

Personally, </div><div>I currently start with the focus on the development of a project in Leipzig, </div><div>for which we currently have an initial 100 000 euros to purchase a first building.</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://sharewiki.org/en/Leipzig_project">http://sharewiki.org/en/Leipzig_project</a></div>
<div><br></div><div><div>Regarding land use, </div><div>I am interested in the potentials of the<b> region between Berlin and Leipzig,</b></div></div><div>and more specifically along the regional train lines / stations,</div>
<div><a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=51.8499755859375&amp;layers=T&amp;lon=12.249755859375&amp;zoom=8">http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=51.8499755859375&amp;layers=T&amp;lon=12.249755859375&amp;zoom=8</a></div>
<div>and regional/international cycling routes , in red on this map :</div><div><a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=51.8499755859375&amp;layers=C&amp;lon=12.249755859375&amp;zoom=8">http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=51.8499755859375&amp;layers=C&amp;lon=12.249755859375&amp;zoom=8</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>Some existing communities live along such lines - possibly some potential can rest in partnerships. I also believe there are networks of people ( including engineers, designers, activists, students, ... ) in Berlin and Leipzig interested in learning together by supporting ( non commercial ? ) open source technical approaches to food farming.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I believe I will pass by Berlin shortly in February. We can stay in touch, and visit places together ?</div><div><br></div><div>//</div><div><br></div><div>further notes :</div><div><br></div><div><div style>
I keep looking at buildings on LWB</div><div style><a href="http://lwb-immobilienangebote.de/index.php/objekte/anzeigen" target="_blank" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)">http://lwb-immobilienangebote.de/index.php/objekte/anzeigen</a></div>
<div style><br></div><div style>I also noticed a big factory via google street view, and wonder if it is for sale ?</div><div style><br></div><div style><a href="http://g.co/maps/vxsur" target="_blank" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)">http://g.co/maps/vxsur</a></div>

<div style>and also a lot of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allotment_(gardening)">Alottment Gardening</a> nearby.</div><div style><br></div><div style>I wish to use open source ecology on large, cheap land between Berlin and Leipzig,</div>
<div style><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#222222" face="arial, sans-serif">but would be interested in introducing such approaches to allotment gardens with the facility of urban transportation, nearby ( technical ? ) universities, and the potential for urban living collectives and the purchase of abandoned industrial space for developing manufacturing aspects ( the machines ) related to an open source ecology approach.</font></div>
<div style><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#222222" face="arial, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div style><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#222222" face="arial, sans-serif">In addition to visiting such places together ( in february ? ), I am willing to discuss funding schemes, and legal structures.</font></div>
<div style><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#222222" face="arial, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div style><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#222222" face="arial, sans-serif">Furthermore, it may be interesting to discuss such approach at the Ecotopia ( site will probably be updated : </font><a href="http://ecotopia2012.org/">http://ecotopia2012.org/</a> ) <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif">, since the Ecotopia is situated in the region - and along the regional train line - between Leipzig and Berlin, next to a train station bought by people related to community projects.</span></div>
