Open Ecotech 1 - the First World Conference on Open Source Ecology
Open Ecotech 1 is the first worldwide, working conference on Open Source Ecology. It is being held at Factor e Farm – in the Kansas City area of central USA. This is the longest-lasting conference in the world. It has officially begun with the inception of the 1000 True Fans - 1000 Global Villages campaign - and it lasts until the end of 2010. We aim to complete the entire basic Global Village Construction Set (GVCS) as an outcome of the conference.
Open Ecotech 1 is a working conference, where interested participants submit a proposal for 1 month long projects, to be carried out at Factor e Farm. These projects develop individual components of the GVCS – by completing prototype and testing cycles – until product release. You can see the Status of active projects here.
Invitation
We are seeking those who are committed deeply to making a better world. We have proposed a campaign for developing the technology and ecology tools for a new civilization. See the 1000 True Fans - 1000 Global Villages campaign on the blog - and view all the supporting videos here.
Budget
We are currently engaged in the 1000 True Fans – 1000 Global Villages campaign to fund Open Ecotech 1.
Accommodations
Application
To join Open Ecotech 1
Request for Proposals
We are now taking proposals for Open Ecotech 1. To apply, first study our work as discussed in the Distillations (http://openfarmtech.org/index.php?title=Distillations) video series – which has an overview of all the ecotechnologies of interest. These include both technology and agroecology components. We are developing these according to the dynamic procedure discussed in the video on Open Collaborative Development. The proposal should include a program of action for the one month duration of your stay, as well as a discussion of preparatory steps prior to your arrival at Factor e Farm.
