Do not spam - send to people you believe will be interested.
To make it less annoying for people to get contacted more than once:
- Update these notices to include up-to-date information, or

Hi
The main things we ask people to consider are:
- Using a free license on some or all of your work, to enable effective collaboration and knowledge sharing.
- Using Appropedia to share the projects your organization carries out. This is a way of reaching a wider audience, as Appropedia has a growing audience, with a high proportion of users very dedicated to sustainabilty and appropriate technology. It's also a way for people to find you, through our category and search functions for locations and project type.
- The wiki is an open, collaborative workspace
Note the upcoming OSNCamp 2008 on Oct 18-19 in San Francisco. You can participate online if you're not able to make it in person.
Please forward this to anyone you know who you think would be interested.
Regards,
