WHO are you?

• Name - Adam Haynes

• Location (city, country) - Akron, Ohio

• Contact Information - ARGHaynes (at) gmail (dot) com

• Résumé

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 believe that OSE represents a piece of the emerging puzzle of the next level of evolution of human society.

• How do you think that the GVCS can address pressing world issues?

GVCS will provide an amazing platform for independent communities.

• What should happen so that you become more involved with the project?

I need clear goals to fulfill. (Or if I were to get promoted at work, I could become financially involved.)

• What are your suggestions for improvement of the project?

The project needs a clear and formal expression of its capacity that addresses the needs/interests of different groups of people (i.e. College Administrators, Teachers, Philanthropists, etc.). I am hope to help with this.

WHAT

• List all of your skills in these areas: Communications - Organizational - Computer Support - Finances - Design - Natural Building - Electronics - Automation - Metallurgy - Engineering - Fabrication - Agriculture - Energy - Architecture - Video/Graphics/Art - PR/Marketing - Education - Construction - Industry - CNC - Chemistry - Product Design - Other

I believe myself to be a clear and precise communicator of the written word. Furthermore, I have found myself to be rather skilled at research and obtaining a clear vision of the "bigger picture." My degree is in education and most of my experience revolves around environmental education. However, my true passion is in community development. From a practical standpoint, the moshavim and kibbutzim of Israel have more to offer on a practical level than the communes of the 60s or religious communities of modern-times.

• How have you already contributed to the project?

I have just discovered this project.

HOW can you help?

• How are you interested in contributing to the work of GVCS development?

If there are needs that can be well met by my skills, then I will contribute there.

• Can you volunteer to work with us, and if so, how many hours per week?

Yes. My available time varies by week, some weeks I may be unable to do anything, others I may have a fair share of time to dispose.

• Are you interested in working with us for pay? If so, what services can you offer, and what is your hourly or per-project rate?

Yes. Perhaps the most useful skills I could offer revolve around communicating information, developing an informational schema and curriculum development.

• Are you interested in Dedicated Project Visit?

I am, but do not think it would be possible at present.

• Are you interested in purchasing equipment from us to help bootstrap development?

I am but am unable.

• Are you interested in bidding for consulting/design/prototyping work?

I believe I lack the necessary skills.

• Are you a True Fan? If not, why not?

I am not. First, I just became aware of the existence of "True Fans." Second, I have little money to spend.

• Would you like to see yourself working with us on a full-time basis?

Yes, very much so.

• Are you interested in using the technologies that we are developing directly?

I am.

• 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.

I am quite interested and would enjoy exploring this idea further.
