Hi John,

Good to meet you, too. It was an interesting collection of people.

We're having the next meetup at the Young Foundation on Monday:

pment

I think the comment about documenting came from Vinay. This (from the
article linked below) might give more of a sense of where he's coming
from:

"Research and development has gone on over the past thirty or forty
years, resulting in a plethora of reasonable candidate technologies in
water, sanitation, cooking, agriculture, health care and so on. Many
under-funded, under-resourced groups rush and struggle to filter the
candidate technologies and select the best ones, document them and
translate the documents into local languages, make films to help
communicate what cannot be written or read effectively, and generally
provide resources to the people who need these tools themselves, and
the many volunteers and development groups that seek to help them."

Interested to talk more about this. Hope you're able to join us on
Monday.

Dougald
