      Hi

      Keep doing great work:)

      Is it possible to use the Kickstarter software as open source for other uses too? For example to
      create a 'Creativity Collaboration version of your site'?! where any funds generated are invested in creating innovative projects that 'do good'

      It would be great if it were possible to create away for innovative
      people to collaborate even easier online by building on your community
      (one example is the software theps.net have created) and to create a
      collaboration and innovation crowdsourced/funded network.

      There is open source software out there that we can use to do this and I
      would love to crack on with helping your team do this.

      Is this possible?

      The City has returned our engineering and we get to live. The changes required are far less involved than getting to this point. Something along the lines of - that door needs to open out - add an exit sign here - The break room counter needs to be one inch lower - ect.

      for the highest pledge delivered over $1500.

      Zoning, EBMUD, Hazmat and Fire are all cleared for take off. Tomorrow the Build dept comes in for another inspection. Progress is being made. Let's hope for a Thanksgiving sign off on everything.

Connected as Rachael Norman

Michael Snook founded NIMBY with no initial investment in April of 2004. His hard work and dedication have built not only a functional facility, but also a reputation for steady and levelheaded leadership in the Bay Area art community. There is hardly a major work at the Burning Man festival that has not benefited from Snookʼs knowledge, resources and assistance. His extensive connections in the construction and shipping industry have enabled the procurement of materials and resources making impossible purchases affordable. Before founding and running NIMBY he was a property manager and construction superintendant for over 20 years.
