The [[Distillations]] videos give an overview and you can also read the entire theory of Open Source Ecology in the [[Proposal_2008|OSE Proposal document]]. | |||
Open Source Ecology's goal and current engagement is building the world's first replicable, open source, modern off-grid [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Village_(term) global village] using open source permaculture and technology to work together for providing basic needs and self replicating the entire operation at the cost of scrap metal. This is a stepping stone to transcending survival and [[OSE_Brochure|evolving to freedom]]. [[Factor e Farm]] is the land-based facility where we put this theory into practice. The means of achieving that is an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecology ecology], or ecosystem, of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source open source] hardware that works as an ecological whole - the [[Global Village Construction Set]]. However, the name implies much more than technology - for technology is merely a basis upon which social organization can happen, in harmony with its natural life support systems. The real issue then emerges - ''the possibility of unprecedented quality of life for all''. | Open Source Ecology's goal and current engagement is building the world's first replicable, open source, modern off-grid [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Village_(term) global village] using open source permaculture and technology to work together for providing basic needs and self replicating the entire operation at the cost of scrap metal.

To build a post-industrial village, we are developing and testing the set of tools required to build such a village - the [[Global Village Construction Set]]. [[Land stewardship]] and local production via open source design and digital fabrication - founded on open sharing of information - are the key features of this adventure. [[Right livelihood]] and resolution of pressing world issues is the intended byproduct.
