Thanks Les for the invite,
I am on a TT steering committee in San Luis Obispo County (of about 5-6 people). We have already created a listserv (which will soon be updated to the ning technology), a website link to buy the HANDBOOK, other resources, collecting names of possible reskilling folks, listing organizations that are in alliance with the values and message of TT in our county. Fortunately we have had a magazine HopeDance in the tri-county area (central coast of California) that has been doing similar work for the past ten years. The latest issue of HopeDance has a reprint from Rob Hopkin's HANDBOOK as well as some other pieces that helps clarify the TT movement for our local area. If you wish to get some copies of the mag, contact me or download the 5MB PDF HERE. Columnists include Julian Darley from Post Carbon Institute, Larry Santoyo, permaculture instructor extraordinnaire and others. Enuf for now.
