Strategic Plan 2 Ambitious

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% of the global market share of all physical production by 2028. This production includes food, energy, housing, fuel, transportation, electromechanical technology, and microelectronics. An Open Source Economy is defined as an efficient economy - where Efficiency means access to open source design and openly-published business models/enterprise templates (Distributive Enterprise).

All wealth comes from sunlight, rocks, soil, plants, and water - the abundant feedstocks of modern civilization. We are creating an open source 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. This is an ultimate standard of human potential.

An open source economy involves unleashing access to enabling know-how anywhere in the world - implying relocalization of economic production.

The OSE plan for achieving the above involves:

• Distributive Enterprise Platform - Developing a scalable, open source product development methodology by year-end 2013.
• Civilization Starter Kit - Developing the Global Village Construction Set (GVCS) in 2014 and 2015 to demonstrate the development of 6 parallel projects via the Distributive Enterprise Platform.
• Immersion Curriculum for Distributive Enterprise Fellows - Creating a curriculum for distributive entrepreneurs to build OSE economic hubs worldwide. The first training campus - called OSE Incubator - will be built in 2016, with the first class of 12 Fellows graduated by 2018 after a 2 year immersion program.
• OSE Incubators - New OSE Incubators will be developed on 3 year cycles from start of immersion training, to reach 144 OSE Incubators in 2022.
• OSE Campuses - The OSE Incubators will train other entrepreneurs who are interested in starting productive facilities within their own communities. These new facilities are known as OSE Campuse. They focus on the production of all tools relevant to creating a complete economy. Our goal is to incubate 12 OSE Fellows per class. These Fellows start Campuses world-wide, to reach over 3000 in 2028.

The GVCS consists of these tools:

We intend to fund our operations via a combination of grants and production earnings. The deepest metric of our success is viability of GVCS on the open market.
