Podcast Interview With Two Appropedia Directors

Agroinnovations: "There’s a lot of synergy going in the open source appropriate technology (OSAT) world, and this podcast is a perfect example of that. On the same day that Agroinnovations posted a call for collaborators on the appropedia website, I spoke with Lonny Grafman and Curt Beckmann of this premier open source AT wiki and online community. If you’re interested in OSAT, then THIS is the podcast to listen to. If you’ve never heard of OSAT, then listen and learn." - (editor's note: Chris couldn't be on the call as he is traveling afar.)

-This week wildfires have ravaged Southern California. Their path and scope have been quite unpredictable and devastating to thousands of homes from Los Angeles to San Diego. Rebuild San Diego, the local chapter of [[Architecture for Humanity]] (an Appropedia Partner), has been working on the ground responding to volunteer needs at Qualcomm Stadium and other venues in the city of San Diego.
