Executive Director
“The next trillion dollar economy is the open source economy. The advent of open source hardware brings with it new forms of production, lifestyle, and therefore, governance and institutions. The world as we know it today is being turned upside down.”
Marcin and collaborators are designing and building open source industrial machines and publishing the plans online for free. The set of the 50 machines is known as the Global Village Construction Set, and is intended to lower the barriers for people and communities to build their own lives. Their challenge is economic sustainability of open enterprise – where open design and collaboration are inherent parts of the development process. Open Source Ecology is developing the Distributive Enterprise business model – an enterprise with not only open blueprints for products and services, but also open enterprise and operations blueprints – as part of their viral replicability criteria. The overarching goal is to develop a generalized framework for innovation – accelerated by open sharing of best practices – so problems are solved faster than they are created.
