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 [[Village_pump#Agroinnovations:_Call_for_Collaborators|call for collaborators]] on the appropedia website, I spoke with [[User:Lonny|Lonny Grafman]] and [[User:Curtbeckmann|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: [[User:Chriswaterguy|Chris]] couldn't be on the call as he is traveling afar.)
