=Open Source Clause=
*Open source nature of the work - all research and development results - especially economically-significant results - shall enter the public domain, copyleft, or similar ''intellectual propery'' status. The results shall enter this status in as timely fashion as possible, in order to maximize collaboration potential. Documentation shall be developed to high standards. All work shall follow this intellectual property model, unless explicitly agreed upon prior to the beginning of a developer's involvement.
 
=Questions for Applicant=
#What resources, time, skills, and financial commitments are you willing to make voluntarily to move the work of the Resilient Community Construction Set forward, as an on-site member of Factor e Farm? See the video on the Global Village Construction set from the Oekonux conference as a reference regarding the technology set - [http://openfarmtech.org/weblog/?p=611]
#Based on the [http://openfarmtech.org/index.php?title=Slide_Oekonux4_2 list of technologies] in the Resilient Community Construction Set, select one and propose a program of action for developing that technology, and how that can contribute to developing an [[Open Source Business Model]].
#The goal of our work is to produce economically significand and ''replicable'' enterprise options for production in resilient communities. Are you capable of defining an open source business model, and of publishing an open source business plan, and what experience do you have that will help you succeed?
#Read our recent blog post - [http://openfarmtech.org/weblog/?p=632] on the proposed developments by the present 2-person core team at Factor e Farm. Please propose a brief overview of deliverables that you can make to the program as a result of your involvement. Include both: (1) your contributions to the program already proposed for the 2-person core team program; and, (2), contributions that will be made primarily under your leadership. Describe the skills and experiences that qualify you to complete your proposed program.
#Serious critique has been raised about our program regarding the ''technocentric nature'' of our developments. We do not see the program ''technocentric'' as much as ''results-oriented'' - ie, a rigorous program of development for an equally ambitious goal. Critics have raised concerns that we are not doing sufficient community-building or that we do not have sufficient feminine energy in our land-based facility. Our response is that we find those aspects extremely important, but we are not at the phase where we can prioritize them over technology development. We will be addressing these issues as soon as we have demonstrated an effective development method for open source technology development. We believe that we will be in a better position to do this when we have additional resources. What is your perspective on this issue, and will you be able to work effectively in the described environment?
#Our facility is under construction. Our basic infrastructure is described at
 
#What important questions do you still have regarding our program, and what things are not clear about what we're doing and how we're approaching it?
