*The greater program is '''building the world's first replicable post-industrial village''' - see [http://openfarmtech.org/index.php?title=UM_Presentation presentation]. The program is marked by community supported agroecology, community supported manufacturing, [http://www.p2pfoundation.net/Neocommercialization neocommercialization], digital fabrication, and high quality documentation of all the above. Our first complete product development cycle is the [[CEB_Press]] - to be open-sourced fully by mid-2009, including fabrication capacity of up to 4 machines per week. All funds go back to further open source development.

We're trying to go directly to the people for funding - for benefiting people directly. Imagine a veritable product development pipeline - for a decentralized, post-industrial system of production. We are interested in [http://blog.p2pfoundation.net/proposed-ose-specifications-aim-to-guarantee-truly-open-physical-peer-production/2008/02/12 distributive economics] - where wealth is distibuted freely because the enabling information is free- and [http://openfarmtech.org/index.php?title=Slide_10 local feedstocks] provide the materials for economies of abundance. This is a scenario that blends ancient wisdoms with modern technology - for unprecedented prosperity on a small scale, in these times of great change.
