Our overall vision is deeper. We aim to develop a rigorous technique for [[Crowdsource Research]], and a funding method for supporting world-class open source product development - as a viable alternative to corporate R&D. We're trying to go directly to the people for funding - for benefiting people directly. Imagine a veritable product development pipeline - for a decentralized, post-industrial system of production. We are interested in [http://blog.p2pfoundation.net/proposed-ose-specifications-aim-to-guarantee-truly-open-physical-peer-production/2008/02/12 distributive economics] - where wealth is distibuted freely because the enabling information is free- and [http://openfarmtech.org/index.php?title=Slide_10 local feedstocks] provide the materials for economies of abundance. This is a scenario that blends ancient wisdoms with modern technology - for unprecedented prosperity on a small scale, in these times of great change.

Why Should You Support Open Source Ecology?

Because we are building the world's first replicable post-industrial village. The program is marked by community supported agroecology, community supported manufacturing, neocommercialization, digital fabrication, and high quality documentation of all the above. All funds go back to further open source development.

What OSE needs the most is people to work on projects to develop the Global Village Construction Set. Please consider volunteering to come to Factor e Farm.

  • You may have seen our documentation of progress at Factor e Farm - Factor e Live. We are making real things, not just ideas.


Projects

We are currently running 3 parallel projects of the Global Village Construction Set. Active projects are those projects that have a Project Manager. If you would like to be a project manager for one of our projects, please see the volunteers page.
