==='''WHY''' are you motivated to support/develop this work?===

*''Do you endorse open source culture?''
Absolutely. Open source development has been a great boon to the software development world. I hope it will be as successful in the hardware department.
*''Why are you interested in collaborating with us?''
This project has the potential to drag the world out of the current socio-economic disaster it is currently entrapped in. I want to help create an alternative. Also, the type of work being done at OSE looks challenging and fun.
*''How do you think that the GVCS can address pressing world issues?''
If we could provide impoverished peoples throughout the world with the GVCS, they could build a self-sustaining community that would not be reliant on outside aid. Moreover, people could choose to remove themselves from the consumer culture without having to return to a 17th century lifestyle. I'm coming to believe more and more that reform or revolution can't fix the problems in the world today. Sometimes you just need to start from scratch.
*''What should happen so that you become more involved with the project?''
More updates, more opportunities for long term on-site development, better project organization.
*''What is missing in the project?''
A hydroponic system of some kind. This is essential if we do not want the implementation of the GVCS to be restricted to only locations with fertile soil and plentiful water sources. Aquaponics could possibly be even better as it could be made to be mostly self-sustaining.
*''What are your suggestions for improvement of the project?''
Let more people take more control of the various needs of the project. More autonomy means less management and holds truer to open source values.

==='''WHAT''' are your skills?===

*'''List all of your skills in these areas: Communications - Organizational - Computer Support - Finances - Design - Natural Building - Electronics - Automation - Metallurgy - Engineering - Fabrication - Agriculture - Energy - Architecture - Video/Graphics/Art - PR/Marketing - Education - Construction - Industry - CNC - Chemistry - Product Design - Other'''

Organizational: Have limited experience in project management

Electronics: Fairly well versed through my courses. Know my way around a soldering iron.

Automation: Experienced programmer in a few different languages (C#, Java mainly) in a variety of applications (simulations, AI programming)

Computer Support: Current profession. Can support the crap out of a computer.

Engineering/Fabrication: About a year's worth of experience with CAD software in and out of college. Can do modeling work as well as fabrication drawings.

Other: Technical writing skills - A+, hobbyist economist and philosopher, play a mean guitar.

*''How have you already contributed to the project?''
I donated to the kickstarter!

===HOW can you help?===

*''How are you interested in contributing to the work of GVCS development?''
I would like to help with the CAD models and drawings. I would also love to get involved with some hands-on work down at FeF, but since I have little experience with that, I probably will be most helpful working on the technology side.
*''Can you volunteer to work with us, and if so, how many hours per week?''
Yes, I hope to be able to volunteer 10-20 hours per week.
*''Are you interested in working with us for pay? If so, what services can you offer, and what is your hourly or per-project rate?''
Sure, though I have limited experience – it would again be with developing CAD models and drawings.
*''Are you interested in a [[Dedicated Project Visit]]?
Yes, though at a later date.
*''Are you interested in purchasing equipment from us to help bootstrap development?''
No, I don't have the money to do prototyping on my own.
*''Are you interested in bidding for consulting/design/prototyping work?''
Yes, though at a later date.
*''Are you a [[True Fans|True Fan]]? If not, why not?''
Yes I am!
*''Would you like to see yourself working with us on a full-time basis?''
Yes, though at a later date.
*''Are you interested in being part of the world's first, open source, resilient community? The GVCS is the preparatory step for the OSE Village Experiment – a 2 year, immersion experiment (2013-2014) for testing whether a real, thriving, modern-day prototype community of 200 people can be built on 200 acres using local resources and open access to information? We are looking for approximately 200 people to fill a diverse array of roles, according to the Social Contract that is being developed. This may be the boldest social experiment on earth - a pioneering community whose goal is to extend the index of possibilities regarding harmonious existence of humans, ecology, and technology.''
Yes, that sounds awesome.

Ethical Planetarian "Party"

2012-01-12T17:37:01Z

Paul Phillips:

The Ethical Planetarian Party is not a political party. It is a planetary platform for uniting Humanity towards the goals of sustainability, freedom from toil, freedom for everyOne to follow Their bliss.

What is the Ethical Planetarian Party? What are its goals and platform? The following, offered and written by Amaterasu, is the platform:

First, We stand for upholding the three Laws:

1. Do not willfully harm or kill another Being

2. Do not willfully take or damage another Being’s property

3. Do not willfully defraud another Being

In other words, We choose to maintain civil interaction, face to face. The biological parent has precedence in the case of Our children, unless there is evidence that these same Laws are not kept with Them as well. They are Beings, too. Beings are any who ask for rights, or have Others of the same species ask in proxy if They are unable to ask, Themselves. This is not license to mal-treat beings of “lower” Consciousness, for all Consciousness should be respected. The goal is for as much of Consciousness to spend as much of the time as possible comfortable.

A quick, clean and honorable death for the flesh a Being eats, having been given comfort throughout the life for any domestic food.

Second, We are predicated on the idea that Humans should be free to take advantage of the abundance of the planet by eliminating money through free energy, calling for the declassification of electrogravitics and other technology that offers free energy.

Third, We strive to allow religious choice, believing that there are as many Callings as there are Beings, and as long as the Laws are kept, how One approaches that which One is, is to be respected.

Fourth, We expect the use of technology under these Laws, with peaceful intent, including free energy – the key to eliminating money. We know much is presently hidden in fear that we might exact retribution or follow folly, but We are of the opinion, based on evidence, that when Humans have no money, generosity and loving behavior are expended to help Those in need. With technology We both have personal awareness of and much science and anecdote grasped, We know We can eliminate money as a necessity and provide abundance for everyone.

We are out to eliminate poverty.

Fifth, We will bring forth a website where problems can be brought up locally and People can “vote” to bump a problem up, down, show apathy by not voting, and chime in with solutions (which can be cheered and booed). Issues will drop off after the original poster indicates that the problem has been resolved or withdrawn, or there has been no activity after, say, six months (that is not set in stone).

Also, issues with some set number of bumps up will be considered issues that need a wider awareness and go to regional sections. From there, continental, perhaps, and then global, as more are needed to be involved in solving the problem. Problems will beget the awareness to solve them.

Without money as a motive, problems will be solved more creatively, directly, harmoniously, and within the three Laws.

Sixth, We are staunch in our support of an organic planet. Though hybridization is an awesome tool, genetically modifying organisms is NOT. Without money, there is no motivation to create GMO. We know that organics can produce on par or better yield than GMO, chemically treated fields, and better nutrition than their petrochemically “fertilized” brethren. Any non-organic approaches to problems will be highly discouraged, unless it is seen that such a solution is the best.

Beyond this, sustainability is our goal.

Seventh, We see that, without money, We can build machines – robots – to do all necessary work. Without work as an “ethic,” We substitute a “Betterment Ethic,” and encourage all to look for ways – within the three Laws and with organic solutions prized – to improve conditions on this planet for everyOne, and offer these ideas for consideration and possible action.

Eighth, We understand that virtually all crime is, on one level or another, related to money, and without money as motive, virtually all crime will vanish – leaving the very few, passion-related crimes for Us to deal with. We will deal with all crime publicly, and those who care can and will decide each case. Most such antisocial choice of behavior will lead to social pariah-hood for the perpetrators.

Ninth, We support open source in all things We program for public use. This allows for many to make suggestions for betterment, and ensures that no One will create outside the three Laws. It also eliminates “back doors,” and other surreptitious software segments that bog down the clean functioning of the program. Without money as a motive, programmers will be proud to offer Their work for scrutinization and use, openly and freely. Status will be gained for creating the best programs.

Tenth, We understand that food waste is rampant with food distributed by profit, abundant as it is but poorly and/or untimely delivered. Without money, food distribution will be based on need and not profit, ensuring that waste is minimal, food is fresh for all (no one waiting for the wilted cast-offs), and readily available.

Though these approaches are revolutionary, We understand that if enough people are on board, a fresh, free, fun, and fulfilling life will be Ours – and everyone else’s – as We choose. No One needs to change anything except where there is a problem – and then Those who care are free to solve it within the three Laws.

Without money, bureaucracy will become unnecessary, vastly reducing paper use, and streamlining solutions. Jobs in banking, insurance, and other such money-related industries will disappear, and in their place, the opportunity to spend time as One wishes.

Transportation will be free – for Ourselves, Our food and product systems, and any other transportation needs. This offers the ability to go where One wishes, moving food to where it is needed, and other freedom We presently do not have, with transportation energy costing so much.

Our electronic devices will be free and run on free energy, allowing free communication, and all other products too, will be free. We will be able to order anything on the Interweb and have it delivered by robot.

We are a planetary party and decry any solutions that maintain a “divide and conquer” attitude or outcome, including stateism, nationalism, partyism, teamism, etc. We are one species on one planet, and We seek to benefit the planet ethically and wholly.

==='''WHY''' are you motivated to support/develop this work?===

*''Do you endorse open source culture?''
Absolutely. Open source development has been a great boon to the software development world. I hope it will be as successful in the hardware department.
*''Why are you interested in collaborating with us?''
This project has the potential to drag the world out of the current socio-economic disaster it is currently entrapped in and I would love to be a part of it. Also, the type of work being done at OSE looks challenging and fun.
*''How do you think that the GVCS can address pressing world issues?''
Many studies have been conducted about how global monetary aid does more harm than good. If we could instead provide impoverished peoples throughout the world with the GVCS, they could build a self-sustaining community that would not be reliant on outside aid.
*''What should happen so that you become more involved with the project?''
More updates, more opportunities for long term on-site development, better project organization.
*''What is missing in the project?''
A hydroponic system of some kind. This is essential if we do not want the implementation of the GVCS to be restricted to only locations with fertile soil and plentiful water sources. Aquaponics could possibly be even better as it could be made mostly self-sustaining.
*''What are your suggestions for improvement of the project?''
Let more people take more control of the various needs of the project. More autonomy means less management and holds truer to open source values.

Computer Support: Current profession of 2 years – can do both general support and net ops.

Engineering/Fabrication: About a years worth of experience with CAD software in and out of college. Can do modeling work as well as fabrication drawings.
*''How have you already contributed to the project?''
I donated to the kickstarter!

===HOW can you help?===

*''How are you interested in contributing to the work of GVCS development?''
I would like to help with the CAD models and drawings. I would also love to get involved with some hands-on work down at FeF, but since I have little experience with that, I probably will be most helpful working on the technology side.
*''Can you volunteer to work with us, and if so, how many hours per week?''
Yes, I hope to be able to volunteer 10-20 hours per week.
*''Are you interested in working with us for pay? If so, what services can you offer, and what is your hourly or per-project rate?''
Sure, though I have limited experience – it would again be with developing CAD models and drawings.
*''Are you interested in a [[Dedicated Project Visit]]?
Yes, though at a later date.
*''Are you interested in purchasing equipment from us to help bootstrap development?''
No, I don't have the money to do prototyping on my own.
*''Are you interested in bidding for consulting/design/prototyping work?''
Yes, though at a later date.
*''Are you a [[True Fans|True Fan]]? If not, why not?''
Not yet. Limited money, hopefully should be able to do so in the coming months.
*''Would you like to see yourself working with us on a full-time basis?''
Yes, though at a later date.
*''Are you interested in being part of the world's first, open source, resilient community? The GVCS is the preparatory step for the OSE Village Experiment – a 2 year, immersion experiment (2013-2014) for testing whether a real, thriving, modern-day prototype community of 200 people can be built on 200 acres using local resources and open access to information? We are looking for approximately 200 people to fill a diverse array of roles, according to the Social Contract that is being developed. This may be the boldest social experiment on earth - a pioneering community whose goal is to extend the index of possibilities regarding harmonious existence of humans, ecology, and technology.''
Yes, that sounds awesome.

==='''WHY''' are you motivated to support/develop this work?===

*''Do you endorse open source culture?''
Absolutely. Open source development has been a great boon to the software development world. I hope it will be as successful in the hardware department.
*''Why are you interested in collaborating with us?''
This project has the potential to drag the world out of the current socio-economic disaster it is currently entrapped in and I would love to be a part of it. Also, the type of work being done at OSE looks challenging and fun.
*''How do you think that the GVCS can address pressing world issues?''
Many studies have been conducted about how global monetary aid does more harm than good. If we could instead provide impoverished peoples throughout the world with the GVCS, they could build a self-sustaining community that would not be reliant on outside aid.
*''What should happen so that you become more involved with the project?''
More updates, more opportunities for long term on-site development, better project organization.
*''What is missing in the project?''
A hydroponic system of some kind. This is essential if we do not want the implementation of the GVCS to be restricted to only locations with fertile soil and plentiful water sources. Aquaponics could possibly be even better as it could be made mostly self-sustaining.
*''What are your suggestions for improvement of the project?''
Let more people take more control of the various needs of the project. More autonomy means less management and holds truer to open source values.

==='''WHAT''' are your skills?===

*'''List all of your skills in these areas: Communications - Organizational - Computer Support - Finances - Design - Natural Building - Electronics - Automation - Metallurgy - Engineering - Fabrication - Agriculture - Energy - Architecture - Video/Graphics/Art - PR/Marketing - Education - Construction - Industry - CNC - Chemistry - Product Design - Other'''
Computer Support: Current profession of 2 years – can do both general support and net ops.

Engineering/Fabrication: About a years worth of experience with CAD software in and out of college. Can do modeling work as well as fabrication drawings.
*''How have you already contributed to the project?''
I donated to the kickstarter!

===HOW can you help?===

*''How are you interested in contributing to the work of GVCS development?''
I would like to help with the CAD models and drawings. I would also love to get involved with some hands-on work down at FeF, but since I have little experience with that, I probably will be most helpful working on the technology side.
*''Can you volunteer to work with us, and if so, how many hours per week?''
Yes, I hope to be able to volunteer 10-20 hours per week.
*''Are you interested in working with us for pay? If so, what services can you offer, and what is your hourly or per-project rate?''
