📩 International Partner Invitation – Crumbforest Project

Invitation to Collaborate on the Crumbforest Project – Open Source Meets Nature, Education & Code

📝 Body:

Dear [Partner Name or Team],

I hope this message finds you well.

My name is Branko, founder and coordinator of the Crumbforest Project – a creative open-source initiative where children, educators, machines and nature interact through technology, storytelling, and sensoric systems.

Crumbforest is not just a software platform.
It’s a living ecosystem of tools, animals, terminal interfaces, and symbolic agents (like an owl, a fox, or our new translator – an octopus named Deepbit) designed to:
- Teach technology through play and questions
- Connect real-world wildlife behavior with digital sensor logs
- Promote trust, open knowledge, and human-machine empathy

Our system is already live with:
- CLI-based characters (like the Funkfox Rapper and Kreumeleule Owl)
- TTYD terminal playgrounds for kids
- A PHP-API driven Markdown universe
- JSON logging and a fully modular Docker environment

We believe in building open, sustainable, globally accessible educational tech – especially for children and young learners from underserved regions.

🤝 Why we’re reaching out to you

We are now looking to extend our collaboration network – with developers, hardware experts, educators, and researchers who resonate with open values, and who are curious to explore:
- Distributed sensoric systems (wildlife ↔ device ↔ code)
- CLI/UX for children
- Low-threshold robotics and microcontroller integration
- Ethical learning environments through open licensing

Your expertise and mindset could be a valuable part of this growing forest of trust and tech. Whether as contributor, sparring partner, tester or supporter – we welcome all forms of resonance.

If this idea speaks to you, we’d love to open a direct line of exchange.
Thank you for your time and attention – and for all you contribute to the open-source community.

With kind regards,
Branko & the Crumbforest Crew
