[node-l] LINKS TO PARNTNERS OF NOTE Re: Who Wants to Be...? at The End of the World Game - streamed live from Copenhagen 18/12/2009

Keep up the great work. Also check 'socialissuegames' and 
'gamesforchange' if you have not already. Also...

Here are two ways to make any 'do good' game create self sustaining 
income that will then be able to fund even more innovative work...

1.
May i propose a way for ANY game/business to invest surplus funds into 
new innovative business that solves local human problems? 
http://www.traidmark.org (more details below)

2.
We are creating a self sustaining organisation that will provide a
location for young people to access the internet and collaborate
together all over the world in hard to reach areas and are looking to
produce this with an existing organisation that will benefit too. Could
we run this self sustaining project as part of your project as it would
be an extra service that increases peoples awareness of your great work
while facilitating collaboration on projects. Development website at
www.FREEtraid.org. Who should I talk to about proposing creating self
sustaining Open Space Cafe's with your organisation?


Please comment directly on these sites rather than on this email list so 
that EVERYONE can see your comments.
