Mission
The mission of Open Source Ecology is to create the Open Source Economy - an economy that optimizes not only production, but distribution - while promoting environmental regeneration and social justice.
Vision
Open Source Ecology will not rest until the barriers to human evolution are toppled. Our platform is
- Eliminating Material Scarcity - 50 machines of the Global Village Construction Set - a Village in a Box
- Freedom for All - The elimination of war, and conflicts over resources
- Enabling the Human Spirit - community of 12 people, 2 hrs. per day to reach a modern standard of living from local resources - an ultimate standard of human potential
- Open Invitation - The benefits of Open Source are bigger than software.
Introduction
Our goal is to create a parallel Open Source Economy that captures 0.1% to 1% of the global market share of all physical production by 2023. This production includes food, energy, housing, fuel, transportation, electromechanical technology, and microelectronics. An Open Source Economy is defined as an efficient economy - where Efficiency is defined as access to open source design and openly-published business models/enterprise templates (Distributive Enterprise). By opening up critical, economically-significant know-how, we aim to reduce the cost of goods and services by 10-fold - and by adding lifetime-design-for-modularity on top of this - - we gain a 100x increase in value over the existing system - implying freedom from 'making a living' dictating the courses of our lives.
The plan is simple. We aim to annihilate artificial material scarcity. How? All wealth comes from sunlight, rocks, soil, plants, and water - the feedstocks of modern civilization. Why doesn't everyone have access to this wealth? To remedy this - we are creating an open toolkit that allows people to convert these resources directly to a modern standard of living - at a cost of no more than 2 hours of work per day.
We are developing a framework for this economy of enlightenment. This framework involves an open source product development platform. This platform is a tool that facilitates open collaboration by structural minimization of greed. The result is that individuals and companies alike recognize that they are better off by eliminating competitive waste. This implies that human values become the values in economic exchange. Mercantilism ceases to exist as the human spirit joins
There are several properties of an open source economy. In an open economic system - different companies work together on product development. For this to happen - a framework has to be created which promotes collaborative development.
An open source economy involves unleashing access to enabling know-how. When applied to economies of regions - this implies relocalization of physical production - as enabling know-how is made available to local populations. Product development becomes collaborative - and elimination of competitive waste.
The tactical approach to achieving the above begins with development and beta testing - of a scalable, open source product development methodology by year-end 2013 - also known as Distributive Enterprise creation. Then, the Global Village Construction Set (GVCS) will be developed rapidly in 2014-2015 as proof of this methodology. The GVCS consists of these tools:

There are several properties of an open source economy. When applied to regions - an open source economy implies relocalization of physical production as enabling know-how is made available to local populations. This is marked by collaborative product development and elimination of competitive waste. The tactical approach to achieving the above begins with development and beta testing - of a scalable, open source product development methodology by year-end 2013 - also known as Distributive Enterprise creation.

Funding for GVCS development is obtained via bootstrapping production - meaning that the products developed as a result of the Distributive Enterprise platform are sold on the open market. Because of our significant social capital, marked by the popularity of the GVCS TED Talk - we are also leveraging nonprofit sector support to deliver the GVCS and the replication of the GVCS by means of Distributive Enterprise training - see Distributive Enterprise. et.
