==='''WHY''' are you motivated to support/develop this work?===
*''Do you endorse open source culture?''
Yes.
*''Why are you interested in collaborating with us?''
I am particularly interested in the applicability of the OSE model in the urban environment. 
*''How do you think that the GVCS can address pressing world issues?''
If the GVCS proves extensible, scalable and accessible it has the potential to be a valuable tool in addressing pressing economic, social and environmental issues.
*''What should happen so that you become more involved with the project?''
A commitment by OSE participants to remain as true as possible to the open source model.
*''What are you missing in the project?''
A clear sense of how the work being done in a rural setting can be ported to an urban setting where socio-economic realities are quite different, and where building, zoning and other regulatory issues might limit the OSE model.
*''What are your suggestions for improvement of the project?''
Unsure at the moment.

*''Would you like to see yourself working with us on a full-time basis?''
*''Are you interested in using the technologies that we are developing directly?''
*''Are you interested in being part of the world's first, open source, resilient community? The GVCS is the preparatory step for the OSE Village Experiment - a 2 year, immersion experiment (2013-2014) for testing whether a real, thriving, modern-day prototype community of 200 people can be built on 200 acres using local resources and open access to information? We are looking for approximately 200 people to fill a diverse array of roles, according to the Social Contract that is being developed. This may be the boldest social experiment on earth - a pioneering community whose goal is to extend the index of possibilities regarding harmonious existence of humans, ecology, and technology - as a beacon of light to benefit of all people on Earth.
