We all have dreams...

here are some of our dreams:

To create a solid OtS Tech Zone HQ with ample work surface, storage, organisation, tools, and resources, to be shared and expanded upon.

to create a Not-For-Profit Organisation to Support Open to Source and the Open Source Community.

to expand the website offering people greater opportunity to support Open Source hardware/software and its creators.

to create a convertible camper/ video and lighting tech booth/mobile makerspace bike trailer towed by an electric recumbent tricycle, to travel to events offering offer video art, lighting, computer/electronics repair/consulting, and spread the word about the Open Source world.

to continue to offer all services freely while accepting donations and encourage others to do the same.

What are your Dreams?
