Integrated Development Strategy

The Plan

Discussion

Main points of the diagram are:

Mapping out resources:Leveraging existing support by mapping out existing poeples' work and integrating it to a working whole. If core teams of leaders can leverage their combined strategy towards implementation - primarily by uncovering means towards collaboration - then the project could move far ahead.

For example, Sam Rose, Paul Hartzog, and I will be conferencing on pushing the Open Source Fab Lab forward, and Lonny of Appropedia and Kevin of the Mutualist Blog are already promoting the fab on our behalf.

At best, I could foresee teams of interested leaders writing collaborative proposals that are then pushed to the rest of the community for crowd support.

We should remember that perhaps our strongest weapon that we can presently leverage is huge intellectual capital.

Factor e Dream Team - these are people on site at Factor e Farm who actually build the village and develop its technology base, from Open Source Agroecology to Personal Fabrication. This is the most important part for integrating the first post-industrial village of abundance, and requires Integrated Humans.

OS Fab Lab Convergence - the key anabling feature of a global village's appropriate technology base is the Open Source Fab Lab. We put up recruiting material for students and participants at ;Recruiting for OS Fab Lab
