[edit] Hello and request

Hello Yama.

Welcome to appropedia. Would you be interested in writting some instructions and background on Canning and preserving?

Thank you, Lonny 18:31, 8 May 2006 (PDT)

How did you know I'm on record :-) in those fields? Uh, maybe googled me...

Sure! Yamaplos 19:27, 8 May 2006 (PDT)

Oh yes. Google. Lonny 00:05, 9 May 2006 (PDT)

[edit] Ferrocement

Hi Yama,

The ferrocement topics are a great addition. I may have access to some ferrocement student videos, which you could link to.

Thank you, Lonny 18:38, 8 May 2006 (PDT)

Thank you. The best ever resource I have come across is a National Academy Of Science booklet. That led me to experiment with the thing and participate in a ferrocrete email list in the days I worked as Captain of the Port in Lake Titicaca, Bolivia. There I tried (unsuccessfully) to make an f-c boat, so in that area I am passionate but without a positive track record.

There are many areas in AT that I really care about, and I am very glad about this wiki.

Right now I am in the middle of a major project for the summer, which I will end with 3 weeks back in Bolivia, so my contributions will not yet get to the level I want them to be, but I will be there.

Thanks, best to you all Yamaplos 19:32, 8 May 2006 (PDT)

We are very excited to have you as part of this community. I plan on having some of my topic submissions up by the end of the summer, in time to use them as teaching tools next semester. I codirect a Spanish and Appropriate Technology immersion summer program in Parras de la Fuente, and hope to use some of that time to complete 4 or 5 topics pages.

Good luck with your project and enjoy your time back in Bolivia. Lonny 00:13, 9 May 2006 (PDT)
