1. Non-profit organisation Architecture for Humanity has closed its San Francisco headquarters and laid off its staff after apparently being unable to continue funding humanitarian projects... :(
2. Great mind！
3. persons like this change the world! thank you! let´s do it!
4. Great man, great talk.
5. The Sinclair legacy is to be open to God as Creator on Earth as a white knight of a heavenly world of oneness and equality and justice for all in the future of a new world order on Earth in heaven on Earth here again. The best way forward is to be a white knight of the round table in real life on Earth to lead a pilgrimage to heaven on Earth in the next few days of Earthly transformation.

6. Open source is nothing new. It was working for ages until patenting started. Everyone could use someones elses ideas for free because nobody thought that ideas can be sold. We are getting stuck because everyone race to patent everything and only way out seems to be reinvent freedom of ideas.
7. The architecture field is protected by the states. Good luck.

14. Cameron cracked a joke saying that Zaha Hadid, a famous "starchitect" is funding the "War on Terror" in Iraq and Afghanistan due to the migrant workers that are hired for work on her and other starchitects' projects in Dubai who later lose their construction jobs, and with no other sources of income or family for support, join the insurgency.
15. I had the privilege of meeting Cameron at a conference and invited him to speak at an event for the school of architecture at my university in the Spring of 2009. Some may expect him to be a something of a hippie eco-elitist, but instead, Cameron genuinely possesses a passion for people of all privileges and backgrounds.
16. @OASISriffs Watch talks by Hans Rosling. The population will level off around 9 billion people in 2050 with proper education and humanitarian aide preformed by individuals such as Mr. Sinclair.
17. the biggest problem is over-population, and this only worsens the problem
18. Cameron is speaking at a public talk at the Royal Geograpahical Society (with IBG) in London on 25 May 2010 discussing improving response to Natural Disasters 21st Century Challenges series
