Hi πŸ‘‹ Welcome to Boris Mann's Homepage

I'm interested in Open Source, community, co-operative models. Pooling capital and collaboration. In Canada I help run the CoSocial Community Co-op. In Vancouver, I'm one of the organizers of DWebYVR. I like to cook & eat and have a FoodWiki.

The Feeds page has ways to subscribe, and my About page has more of what I'm up to and ways to get in touch.
