This wiki is dedicated to the open, collaborative development of a basic and robust infrastructure for a Global Village economy, as embodied in the list of the 28 of the above products and services. Such a village is by design
The tools under development are to help you! Please [[Support Open Source Ecology|support Open Source Ecology]] through [[volunteer|volunteering]], [[spread the word|spreading the word]], [[Support Open_Source_Ecology|donating (more info)]], or [[Support Open_Source_Ecology|subscribing (more info)]]. Any donation, big or small, can help. Thank you!
*one which promotes the highest autonomy and freedom
*grounded in self-sufficiency
*dedicated to voluntary pursuits, right livelihood, and quality of life
The basic assumption for a New Village economy is that humans are capable of transcending struggle for survival and resource conflicts, where this preoccupation is replaced by higher pursuits, as indicated by Maslow's pyramid.


The selection of 28 products is based on
<flattr
*Availability of a land or facility base
uid="marcin_ose"
*Essential contribution to an infrastructure for living and working
title="Open Source Ecology Wiki"
*Essential goods and services of wide use and large markets
description="Open Source Ecology is a movement dedicated to the collaborative development of tools for replicable, open source, modern off-grid resilient communities."
*Provision of a robust village economy and sufficient surplus for further developments
category="text"
*Generative nature of the product, thus promoting self-replication of the village

*Selection of a widely applicable and sufficient, but not complete, range of economic activity to support a community
button="compact"
*Viability of a community on a village scale, perhaps 100 people, but as few as 2 or as many as sustained by the land base
/>
In effect, the 28 products serve as a basis for a Global Village Construction Set.


Economy creates culture and culture creates politics. Politics sought are ones of freedom, voluntary contract, and human evolution in harmony with life support systems. Note that resource confilicts and overpopulation are eliminated by design.

Furthermore, it should be noted that this is a real experiment, and product selection is based on us living with the given technologies. First, it is the development of real, economically significat hardware, product, and engineering. Second, this entire set is being compiled into one setting, and land is being populated with the respective productive agents. The aim is to define a new form of social organization where it is possible to create advanced culture, thriving in abundance and largely autonomous, on the scale of a village, not nation or state.
As of September, 2010 - we have also had requests for larger donation options. Thus, we are creating the Gold, Gold Extra, Platinum, and Angel subscriptions - ones at $20, $30, $50, and $100 per month, respectively, in addition to the Standard subscription of $10/month.

Imagine a village with buildings of dirt (CEB) with year-round greenhouses (sawmill, CEB, bioplastics from local trees), with all facility energy produced by a solar turbine, where people drive hybrid cars with car bodies (bioplastics) made from local weeds, with critical motors and metal structures (aluminum) extracted from on-site clay, which are fueled by alcohol produced on-site, on a wireless network linked to the greater world. That's just a sampling of the technology base. Food, energy, housing sufficiency. There are no poor among us - because we are all evolving human beings and farmer scientists.

The open development process involves global contributions of content to a rigorously defined process for developing, deploying, and improving the Global Village Construction Set. The rigor lies in a template that guides the development through all the necessary theoretical and practical aspects of deploying a given product. The same template, or process, is adapted to deliver all the products of the Construction Set. The template starts with product definition and ends with economically significant models of production.

See brief video introduction to our work - The Global Village Construction Set in 2 Minutes

LifeTrac, one of the first technologies in the "Global Village Construction Set"

Updates on the ground are found at the Factor e Farm blog.

Open Source Ecology is a movement dedicated to the collaborative development of tools for replicable, open source, modern off-grid "resilient communities." By using permaculture and digital fabrication together to provide for basic needs and open source methodology to allow low cost replication of the entire operation, we hope to empower anyone who desires to move beyond the struggle for survival and "evolve to freedom."

By our analysis, most of the technologies needed for a sustainable and pleasant standard of living could be reduced to the cost of scrap metal + labor. There is immense potential for social transformation once this technology is fully developed for building interconnected self-sufficient communities, since people will be freed from material constraints and able to seek self-actualization.

We understand that this is an ambitious task, but we have accomplished much and are making rapid progress. Factor e Farm is the land-based facility where we are putting this theory into practice. Our means of achieving these goals are meticulously detailed in the "Global Village Construction Set" and the OSE Proposal.

As far as we know, this is a one of a kind project, but we hope to change that. If there is indeed another project like ours, please tell us about it.
