This is so that a person could actually build the device in question - to close an accountability loop in product deployment.		*'''How long would they stay?''' - Any length of stay is possible, but the most practical is a recommended 1 month stay.

Projects are funded through the [[1000 True Fans - 1000 Global Villages Campaign]] and specific project funding baskets, funded via crowd donations. Participants are required to publish a proposal on their work once sufficient design due diligence has been performed. Proposals are published on the blog and wiki, and may be refactored and submitted to more formal funding soures. Everyone on the project is encouraged to engage in some level of project marketing.

New page

=Recruiting Process=

The Factor e [[Home Team]] will lead the recruitment effort.

Basic skills required for participants in the [[Build a Village Project]], and the [[Open Source Fab Lab]] are:

#Ability to perform research on the internet
#Technical literacy regarding how things work, or willingness to learn such literacy
#Ability to solve problems
#Willingness to learn new tasks of all type
#Ability to learn new computer software
#Willingness to use workshop tools
#Ability to take responsibility for one's living environment
#Ability to get along with others and cooperate to common goals
#Ability to analyze and integrate information towards practical results

=Looking for [[Integrated Human]]s=

Why our general emphasis on [[Integrated Human]]s? We found that specialists lack the broad perspective required to build the world's first, replicable, post-industrial village - the goal of [[Factor e Farm]].
