| '''Contributions relevant to project:''' Ph.D. in physics, agricultural experience, workshp experience, organizational experience; presently leading the Factor e Farm laboratory for testing the ideas in practice; public speaking
| |
| | |
| '''Accomplishments:''' ongoing experiments at Factor e Farm; see press release
| |
| | |
| '''Present engagements and activities:''' - Full time open product development and sustainable living experiments
| |
| | |
| '''Networks:''' P2P Foundation, Global Villages, number of innovators in technology and p2p areas
| |
| | |
| '''Level of Commitment to the ''Good Work'':''' This is my full time endeavor, making the road by walking.
| |
| | |
| '''Livelihood goals:''' - I'd like to live a prosperous life, where prosperity is measured by the amount of time I can spend on promoting human evolution.
| |
| | |
| '''Your interests in open product/infrastructure development:''' I am particularly interested in a replicable model of human organization that can serve as the basis of a much more prosperous and durable civilization. We believe that the way to this is an open source economy, where economic power is distributed to everybody.

| PRESS RELEASE
| |
| | |
| We have come up with a breakthrough model of production based on open source, peer-to-peer methods. We are putting the model into practice right now.
| |
| | |
| Using this method, we have produced a prototype for the world’s first, open source, high-performance (3-5 blocks/minute) compressed earth block press ( http://openfarmtech.org/weblog/?p=91). P2P foundation claims that this may be the most important social experiment in the world - http://blog.p2pfoundation.net/marcin-jakubowskis-open-farm-the-most-important-social-experiment-in-the-world/2008/01/22. Steve Bosserman, organizational consultant – explains the economics of this method here- http://www.newmediaexplorer.org/steve_bosserman/2008/02/09/giving_it_away_making_money.htm

| | |
| Our work has recently grabbed the attention of BoingBoing and Wired Magazine blogs: http://www.boingboing.net/2008/02/25/open-source-compress.html and http://blog.wired.com/sterling/2008/02/the-liberator-a.html
| |
| | |
| Following inspired discussions with a number of p2p collaborators, we are calling this method Production Commons development. It is essentially an organized effort for open engineering and product R&D for the public interest, and it is applicable to any product within the current industrial system. The basic business model is:
| |
| | |
| 1. People volunteer time and resources to develop products
| |
| 2. Production facilities are built with voluntary contributions
| |
| 3. A product is made available at the cost of production – materials and labor
| |
| | |
| We are simply eliminating the development, intellectual property, capitalization, overhead, competitive waste, and other costs- to create a novel way to produce physical goods. This is identical to the open source software model in terms of sharing development costs, except we added physical production into the mix.
| |
| | |
| With this said, we want to ask you how we can work together. Is there a way that you can use what we are presently doing to help with your work? Is there a way that you can help us apply the model to other products (see Overview link below)? Are you interested in Zero Hour, a new project dedicated to take open source/replicable endeavors into immediate action:
