Lasse-Birk-Olesen	I definately want to help. I’m up for: Web research assistant Forum administrator – I have some experience here Wiki Organizer Regional Evangelist – I can currently go to all of Denmark, Southern Sweden, and Northern Germany and evangelize in Danish and English, orally and in writing. I have experience in speaking to an audience. Manual Labor? Yes, but I assume the work is going to take place in California. For now I’m only availible in Northern Europe.

Eelco	Translation are a good point: i could translate things to dutch. On the other hand, would there be much interest in translations? Thats questionable.

Temujin	Would love to help. Unfortunately, I’m not an engineer or IT guy, so those avenues are gone. I might be able to come over and help with the grunt work. Also, perhaps regional ambassador for Australia and/or Asia. I should be able to handle translation to Chinese. Skills that may or may not be useful: recreational pilot, scuba divemaster, economist & politician.

Gary-T	Well it looks like the world has finally come around to one of my old Big Ideas. About 20 years ago I had the idea of a floating city called New Atlantis, that was 20 stories deep. It ran on the thermal gradient of the ocean, and was moored in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico. I had made many analysis’ solving the large problems of such a life supporting structure. In any case I would seriously consider a for-pay position with this group, somewhere in the engineering feasability planning section of this organization. I am well versed in engineering, physics, chemistry, math (up to a point), economics, politics, electronics and control systems, programming, and a whole slew of everything else. I am the real deal, and I still retain my quixotic imagination, despite having been dissuaded from having such a viewpoint by society. All I need is the proper venue to apply my skills and this is certainly exactly on point to one of my lifelong goals.

seymour77	I have a degree in Ocean Engineering from Annapolis, and have kept up with developments in marine structures, particularly in ferrocement and concrete in a marine environment. I also have a good background in power systems and support infrastructure. I have been interested in maritime communities, or sea-steading, for years and would be very interested in participating in making the concept a reality. “He who does not risk, cannot win.” — John Paul Jones

zavislak	I’ll have the ability to do independent research for law school credit during the next two years. I’ll see what I can come up with on my own, but if you have any suggestions about particular topics, let me know!

Martin-Hoecker-Martinez	I’m starting a Ph.D. program in physical oceanography and I’d love to help fill out the section of the book on the ocean environment. I probably wouldn’t be able to meaningfully contribute for at least a year. I would need some guidance on what content would be appropriate and what level to pitch it at and what format you would like it in (ascii, LaTeX, open office, html etc.).

Eelco	I also have an engineering degree, but not specific to civil or ocean engineering. I have been working on some different seastead structure concepts, and didnt have the knowledge to properly adress some questions about concrete. I hope to post some of my work here somewhere in the next days, it would be great if you could comment on it, especially the parts concerning the costs and manufacturability of concrete.

Andrewdblevins	- getting my Applied and Engineering Physics degree from Cornell University in ’09. - specializing in biophysics - I have experience with construction and can lift heavy things. - plan on getting my MBA and being a serial entrepreneur. I would be up for helping with heavy lifting and manual labor over a summer when you get ready for construction. I can fill in for pretty much any engineering position, but you are probably better off with a specialist when they are available. I am interested in the business aspects of seasteading, and ideally I would like to use seasteads someday to found and base international corporations.

João-Leite	Hello, I came across this initiative through the Marginal Revolution blog and I must say I got really enthusiastic about this idea. Although I can’t make any donations – I am still an undergraduate student, tf, no money – I would love to contribute to this initiative. In case you are interested I could help you with: Web research assistant – I have some experience with academic researching, and I have already worked as an assistant-editor to an academic website. Forum administrator – I have already worked as an assistant-editor to an academic website (we had a forum). Wiki Organizer Regional Evangelist – I live ion Brazil and I have experience with public speaking. Manual Labor – I would be up to manual labor (but I assume your are not going to need me for this). I speak Portuguese (native), English, Spanish (fluent) and German (advanced).
