In this presentation, I will tell:
#Introduce that we are building a replicable Global Village
#GVCS
#So, You want to build a village?
#You'll need to start with an economy. Food.
#Building.
#Energy.
#Fab
#Is it an economy? Yes, all tools are productive
##Show productivity - ag, fab
#How do we know? We've done a bunch of experiments already. Ag, fab - tractor + CEB
#Closed Energy cycle - from Mathew
#In fact, this constitutes an economy/money system
#Wait a minute? It would take too long to make this happen.
##We will offer immersion training,
#Cost analysis:
##LifeTrac infrastructure- $25k and about 6 months labor, vs $250k plus $25k yearly costs of depreciation
##Food infrastructure- $3k stock, plus $50k in ousourced labor ($50/hour at 40 hr weeks for 28 weeks with heavy equipment)
##One man year for eternal freedom? Case for BOAB
#Impossible? How about 1-year immersion training?
#Transformative economics - CSP, at cost production
#Transformative economics - Closing the industrial divide
#Transformative economics - local fuel
#Transformative economics - NGO, private contract, your own economy, your own money, transparency by documenting production
#Challenges - 90% slavery per individual; slavery is voluntary
#Transitional movement - check out, and invest in a real future
#Where are we now? CEB press, towards product release - to close off accountability cycle?
#Collaboration - much more challenging
#Crowd funding - quite successful; workshop is paid for
#Conclusions - There is a small and robust set, that is replicable if it's open source.
#Subscribe, or tell us what we're missing.
*Who we are? Farm, os product developer, fab lab developer
*What have we done theoretically? GVCS
*What have we done practically? Tractor and CEB
*Part of a bigger package:
**Fab
**Tractor
**OS Agroecology - we know permaculture, but now we have a key to its replicability
***Gene stock
***Equipment
*Why is it important?
**Innovative biz model for econ transformation via at cost production - CSM
**New option - Buy out at the Bottom, skip on life of wage slavery
*Challenges - very low acceptance, of True Fans concept, very few people really want to be free
**Either can't comprehend/believe it because they don't have skill to comprehend/believe, or they want to be slaves?
*Huge liberatory and transformative potential.
*What are we doing currently? CEB press
*What are predicted practical implications?
**Closed energy cycle - Food, energy, fabrication, show diagram
**Closing of industrial divide, show diagram
**Solar Power System Ecology - sun/biofuel to liquid fuel/electricity
*Self-Replicability Potential
**Clear with open source agroecology, if you have nursery and gene bank
**Self-replicating machinery with Furnace, machining, and HydraRaptor
*Learnings that there is very little ''actual'' support, that it is slow
**There are many people super excited, but they don't have the skill, are in debt, suffer from the 90% tax on their life, or all of the above
*On the other hand, we have 9 people lined up by May, others are constantly knocking at our door, to the point that we have a $50 dollar first-time visitor fee

Slide1

  • Slide Oekonux4 1 - Building the World's First, Replicable, Open Source, Off-Grid Global Village

Slide 1'

  • Slide Oekonux4 1' - We propose the Global Village Construction Set and Lifestyle Engineering

Slide 1

Slide 2

  • Slide Oekonux4 2 - Infrastructure Set Sufficient for Creating Advanced Civilization
    • End of Resource Conflicts by local sustainable production
    • Abundance - a rigorous condition of skill and wisdom
    • Promise: unprecedented quality of life and emergent small-scale republics

Slide 3

Slide Oekonux 4 3

  • So, you want to build a village?
    • If you could, why not?
    • Here are the tools
    • Here are the skills to use them

Slide 4

  • Slide Oekonux4 4 - You might want to start with a full economy. Agriculture, housing, energy, transportation, fuel, technology.
    • It's all in there.

Slide 5

Slide 6

Slide 7

Slide 8

Slide 8 prime

Slide 9

  • Slide Oekonux4 9 - We are Engaged Actively in Building the Construction Set
    • Tractor proto
    • CEB proto, bricks, building
    • Orchard-goat-chicken-garden-facility
    • Designs - lathe, torch table, microtrac, sawmill

OSE Product Cycle - scalable

Slide 10

Slide 11

Slide 12

Slide13

Slide14


Slide16

  • Slide Oekonux4 16 - Economic Analysis Without GVCS
    • About $1M for infrastructure for a 30 person community (cheap)

Slide17

  • Slide Oekonux4 17 - Economic Analysis with GVCS Available
    • Sweat equity can be utilized for village replication (cheaper)

Slide18


Slide 19

  • Slide Oekonux4 19 - GVCS is About Social Technology, not Hardware Technology
    • Present strategy: Review/bid -> fund -> deploy&document
      • Testing, production replication by on-site team
    • Noone has cracked the collaborative hardware development nut
    • Bids are a good strategy (such as OpenMusic), but careful analysis is required prior to bidding

Slide 20

  • Slide Oekonux4 20 Open Source Design Rationale (OSDR) is Defined for a Particular Implementation
    • Careful, point-by-point description to novice with high school education
    • WikiPedia model is not easy to apply in our case, becuase of attention span requirements
    • Break it down to 0-attention span chunks

Slide21

  • Slide Oekonux4 21 - OSDR Standards
    • Diagram of all design points
    • OSE Specifications for guiding design principles
    • Red Pages for development support
    • Full explanation of points
    • Diagram can be connected to 3D design
    • 3D design annotated with BOM
    • BOM spreadsheet
    • Fab procedure
    • Review/bid process based on Resource Map, involves experts
    • Funding via open proposal writing, via OSDR content
    • Status should be transparent by viewing OSDR content
