• 3.6.09 - United Diversity - "Factor E Farm is quite possibly the most important project in the world."

• 3.5.09 - Victor Keegan in The Guardian UK - "Other interesting initiatives include openfarmtech.org where they are developing open source ecology including building eco-villages"

• 2.15.09 - Mutualist Blog, by Kevin Carson - "In "The Unplugged," Vinay Gupta wrote of a movement of people "buying out at the bottom" by using "Buckminster Fuller's means to promote Gandhi's ends." This is the largest and most advanced single project I'm aware of for putting that philosophy into practice."

• 11.27.08 - Greg Landua, Global Village Institute at The Farm - "This is the bright iridescent future of a global sustainable village, un-tethered by the soul sucking vacuum of neoliberal globalization. Combining ecology and open source ideas, the folks at Open Source Ecology seem to have hit the nail on the head...a well articulated vision for enabling communities all over the planet to partake in global trade of information goods and services, but not be forced into the prisoner's delima of globalized corporate capitalism."

• 7.29.08 - And I Believe it Could Be, Something Good Has Begun, by Kevin Carson on The Art of the Possible - "Its (quite amazing) centerpiece is an open-source library of sustainable, intermediate-scale technology designs for village-centered Third World development (the Global Village Construction Set), much like what Gupta has proposed."

• 6.30.08 - Rhizome Platform Design By Jeff Vail - "I think this is a fascinating project, and one that John Robb has highlighted as an example of the potential for community fabrication."

• 6.13.08 - Greg Landua, Global Village Institute at The Farm

• 6.12.08 - Global Guerrillas blog by John Robb - "(Open Source Ecology) is yet another example of the many efforts underway to accelerate DIY technology development for Resilient Communities (The RC). As personal fabrication improves, these tinkering efforts will become MUCH more sophisticated at an ever decreasing cost. We (collectively, those of us engaged in decentralized thinking/action) are in the process of reinventing how the global economy is structured at a root level -- good thing we didn't ask permission."
