Dear Jason,

I'm happy to see you joined the consortium, this is definitely a strong institutional support and also an opportunity for deepening our collaboration!

Until the 14th I also will not bring any other topic to my head than this application ;)

Dear Adrien,

I'd be more than happy to send info in the right channels or have a chat with you on skype. But yes, after the 14th...

cheers,
Jason

Dear Jason, 

A non-specific answer would be to check out our Discourse forum and to introduce yourself there describing shortly what you're doing and where you see possible co-creation.
Then various people (including Jon) could take up the discussion and make it specific. I have no tech skills myself: :)

I could also offer to make a Skype with you to collect information about ESSGlobal (in particular what the plans are) and communicate that back on Discourse (our forum). In return, I can answer your questions (especially about the 15MMM - Mapping Month in May) and you would answer the questions I have about the past development of ESSGlobal (I am a researcher about collaborative mapping). I've made such interview with Vincent Calame who provided me with a basic understanding so it wouldn't too long I assume). 
What do you think? It doesn't have to happen immediately (after the 14.04 deadline maybe). 

All the best, 
Adrien

Dear Jon,

as a matter of fact I was wondering what happened...!

So you're no longer pursuing "TransformLab" but another project?  Maybe if you write us two lines about it - and in what sense you see our possible contributions - it could help...

Then we can have a chat.

On another point, the development of Transformaps, can you suggest what is the best way to be able to participate to the process - since we haven't really progressed about how to work on the ESSglobal interoperability standards we are continuing to develop and it is hard for non-German speakers to follow ...

Thanks and ciao from Florence (finally Spring here too...)

Dear Solidary Economists
Jason, Eric and Fernando.


From my silence you must have concluded the halt of our proposal.
Indeed I've found a beautiful private ~nk€ debt in my papers, which
almost stopped any performance.

But as we are talking about distributed systems here, the work
progressed in another context which Gualter and me are currently supporting.

This proposal could make use of contributions from you and I would be
happy to get in touch about how these could look like.

I'm available on the following channels:

* mailto:post@jonrichter.de
* skype:yalamerde
* hangouts:jon.richter@gmail.com

In further progression of this conversation it will make sense to create
an account on

   https://github.com

,if not done already.
Please provide it within your reply.

And please excuse my recent incapability to deliver appropriate
continuity. I just didn't think about myself.

Most sincerely,
spring greetings from Paris [1],


Jon
