Fred,

I am editing the booklet now as I write this. When I have it done and I
have permission from the author I will send you and anyone who wants it
a copy.

Hi Jeff

I would like to see that booklet, where do i find it?
Also i want to make it clear that opendiv has not much to do with One
Village Foundation...
I am not sure what One Village Foundation is and what it actually does
in the real world. Jeff, please stop confusing our goal with more
words. Produce, Create, Do It in the real world. Up to now One Village
Foundation, in EM radio terms, has just been noise..

Correct me and produce real material, real funding
or get out of this movement because our goal is real Independence

OVF is on the edge...

Thanks Freddy
