OK. I've set up a mailing list at <a href="http://groups.io" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">groups.io</a><br>
<br>
<a href="mailto:ventilators-nz@groups.io" target="_blank">ventilators-nz@groups.io</a><br>
<br>
Can everyone who's on-board with this project please sign up there and we'll get this shit moving. Mark, can you be a moderator please, and get your guy on there ASAP?<br>
<br>
There's features on <a href="http://groups.io" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">groups.io</a> that we can use- wiki, database. Volunteers please to get those up and running.<br>
<br>

Yep.<br>

Every incubator built has the opportunity to save at least 1 life. That's not to be sneezed at. (Groan)<br>

> I am trying to pull in a guy who is incredibly good as an "ar$e-kicker" and generally a get -it -moving sort of guy who is excellent at steamrolling through red tape etc and grabbing the contacts/resources needed to make things work. He's a VP of an international conglomerate but lives in Chch. I have worked with him on and off for 20+ years. Heaps of patents, but he's a manager - not an engineer, fundamentally a guy who can get action. I am hoping to point him towards the governmen and ask him to dig up details, find the contacts, score resources, find a doctor with a few hours to spare, & whatever.<br>
<br>
Get him on the list. I have someone in mind that is great at elbow twisting to get resources at short notice.<br>
