5.1.09 - LifeTrac in MAKE Magazine - We were recently featured in MAKE Magazine. Thank you to Abe Connally of Vela Creations, who wrote the article. "In rural Missouri, Marcin Jakubowski and the team at Open Source Ecology (OSE) are designing a sustainable village for the future." - Abe Connally

3.12.09 - Seeds Sprouting in the Rubble, by Kevin Carson

3.6.09 - United Diversity - "Factor E Farm is quite possibly the most important project in the world."

3.5.09 - Victor Keegan in The Guardian UK - "Other interesting initiatives include openfarmtech.org where they are developing open source ecology including building eco-villages"

2.15.09 - Mutualist Blog, by Kevin Carson - "In "The Unplugged," Vinay Gupta wrote of a movement of people "buying out at the bottom" by using "Buckminster Fuller's means to promote Gandhi's ends." This is the largest and most advanced single project I'm aware of for putting that philosophy into practice."

11.27.08 - Greg Landua, Global Village Institute at The Farm - "This is the bright iridescent future of a global sustainable village, un-tethered by the soul sucking vacuum of neoliberal globalization. Combining ecology and open source ideas, the folks at Open Source Ecology seem to have hit the nail on the head...a well articulated vision for enabling communities all over the planet to partake in global trade of information goods and services, but not be forced into the prisoner's delima of globalized corporate capitalism."

1.13.09 - Imagina Canarias

12.14.08 - Pamela McLean’s informative article on Learn By Doing UK - "If people see that (Open Source Ecology) is relevant to Africa as well as USA it could make (this) work even more attractive to givers. Most people recognise that "something needs to be done" in rural Africa to address issues of poverty."

11.12.08 - Wired Magazine blog by Bruce Sterling

10.06.08 - Help Open Source Ecology, by Jeff Vail - "Marcin Jakubowski, a person I met through the excellent P2P Foundation, is blazing ahead with a very real, implementable "Global Construction Set" of open-source tools, platforms, and knowledge sets to empower a future of sustainable, vernacular, and decentralized food production, energy generation, architecture, and social structures."

7.29.08 - And I Believe it Could Be, Something Good Has Begun, by Kevin Carson on The Art of the Possible - "Its (quite amazing) centerpiece is an open-source library of sustainable, intermediate-scale technology designs for village-centered Third World development (the Global Village Construction Set), much like what Gupta has proposed."

6.30.08 - Rhizome Platform Design By Jeff Vail - "I think this is a fascinating project, and one that John Robb has highlighted as an example of the potential for community fabrication."

6.13.08 - Greg Landua, Global Village Institute at The Farm

6.12.08 - Global Guerrillas blog by John Robb - "(Open Source Ecology) is yet another example of the many efforts underway to accelerate DIY technology development for Resilient Communities (The RC). As personal fabrication improves, these tinkering efforts will become MUCH more sophisticated at an ever decreasing cost. We (collectively, those of us engaged in decentralized thinking/action) are in the process of reinventing how the global economy is structured at a root level -- good thing we didn't ask permission."
