Marcin is the founder of Open Source<br /> Ecology. Marcin was recognized on the Enrich List, has been called an Innovation Stuntman, a Disruptive<br /> Hero, and gained the distinctions of a 2012 TED Senior Fellow, a 2013 Shuttleworth Foundation Fellow,<br /> and a 2013 White House Champion of Change.<br /> <br /> In addition, the Global Village Construction Set (which we will get into during the interview) was also<br /> recognized in Time Magazine’s Best Inventions of 2012.<br /> <br /> Marcin, thank you so much for coming to talk with us today...<br /> <br /> [Ryan] Most of our community is familar with terms surrounding open source software and hardware but<br /> open source ecology maybe new to some of oour listerners. Can you explain the idea behind open<br /> source ecology?<br /> <br /> [Michael] Prior to founding OSE in 2003 what was your experience with open source such as Linux or<br /> other open source applications?<br /> <br /> [Noah] Your biography states you came to the U.S. from Poland as a child. Graduated with honors from<br /> Princeton University and earned your Ph.D. in fusion physics from the University of Wisconsin. Then you<br /> started a farm in Missouri. Tell us what led you go from Princeton to farming?<br /> <br /> [Ryan] What were the issues that you were seeing or experienced yourself which led you to found OSE?<br /> <br /> [Michael] Your site states that “OSE is currently developing a set of open source blueprints for the<br /> Global Village Construction Set (GVCS) – a set of the 50 most important machines that it takes for<br /> modern life to exist” You’ve made it through about 1/3rd of these so far. Tell us about some of these<br /> machines you’ve been able to open source and what were some of the breakthroughs in this mission so<br /> far?<br /> <br /> [Noah] What do you view as the biggest hurdle standing in between you and your goals with OSE?<br /> <br /> [Michael] Let’s talk about some of the ways this has impacted peoples lives to this point. Tell us how<br /> people have leveraged this technology you’ve made available?<br /> <br /> [Noah] After hearing this, I’m sure our community will want to know how they can get involved. Can you<br /> tell us about some of the help you’re looking for and how people can get in touch?<br /> <br /> [Ryan: Closing] We want to thank you for coming on the show today to help us understand this<br /> incredible work you’re doing, while leveraging the power of open source. We will have links in the show<br /> notes for anyone who is wanting to learn more about this project and perhaps get involved.<br /> Thank you Marcin!</div>
