Looking at moving to a lot of places after college, and considering Detroit! I heard about your business in Johnny Knoxville’s documentary, and it looks like something I’d genuinely be interested in! I have done a few hacks myself, and playing with electronics is one of my hobbies. I am a physics major with an emphasis in electrical engineering here at Coe College in Iowa. I would love to have more information about OCD!

Hey Joel,
Thanks for the note! We are always looking for more nerds in Detroit!
If you have any questions about the city give us a shout at omnicorpdetroit@gmail.com. Cheers,

How do i go about starting an organization like OmniCorpDetroit in my community?
That’s a darn good question! (( But probably more than what would fit on the comment board. )) http://hackerspaces.org/wiki/Hackerspaces is a good resource, but if you would like to see how it works first hand I would recommend you attend an open-hack night!
Hi there,
I´m a young German automotive engineer, hopefully moving to Detroit within the next six months. While doing a little research on Detroit I stumbled across the awesome documentary with Johnny Knoxville (showing a very different aspect to his personality than what MTV serves us here) and I was totally thrilled by the spirit and passion of the people who are doing such an amazing job for the city.
So this is kind of a longshot, but IF my plans and hopes are coming true, I would like to check out your project, too, and maybe get some advice about moving to / living in Detroit beforehand.
Keep the good work up and thanks in advance!
Joerg
