Introducción
Ecología de Fuente Abierta está dearrollando y probando el Kit de Construcción de la Aldea Global, un conjunto de herramientas para construir comunidades reproducibles, de fuente abierta, modernas, autosuficientes y robustas. Combinando ciclos permaculturales y tecnológicos de fuente abierta, buscamos cubrir las necesidades humanas básicas mientras cuidamos y respetamos la tierra, usando los recursos sustentablemente, y buscando el buen vivir. Gracias al don de la información abiertamente compartida podemos fabricar productos industriales localmente utilizando diseños de fuente abierda y fabricación digital. Esto nos libera de la necesidad de participar en los derrochadores flujos de recursos de la economía general, al permitirnos producir nuestros propios materiales y componentes para las tecnologías que usamos. Consideramos que las economías pequeñas, independientes y basadas en la tierra son medios para transformar las sociedades, resolviendo los graves asuntos mundiales y evolucionando hacia la libertad (en inglés).
Factor e Farm es el espacio físico donde estamos poniendo en práctica esta teoría. Aquí estamos probando los prototipos del Kit de Construcción de la Aldea Global by using them to support a community of developers, working piece by piece towards self sufficiency. Ultimately, our goal is to make this self sufficiency available to all. To this end, the GVCS is designed to be self-replicable. After the first set is complete, it will be used to fabricate copies of itself from raw materials (or the cost of scrap metal). At that point we will shift to begin developing networks of interconnected self-sufficient villages and homes.
Taken literally, open source means that the goods and knowledge for reproducing the complete product (the "source") is freely accessible (open), and ecology is the study of living interactions between organisms and their natural environment. From a human perspective, we seek to push our vision of ecology beyond ecological crisis and into ecological harmony and human productivity.
You can read the entire theory of Open Source Ecology in the OSE Proposal document.
OSE Websites
- The OSE Wiki which you are reading right now is our main information and development center.
- The Weblog is the main news center.
- FactorEFarm.org is our main communications center.
We apologize for the confusing layout of the sites while we are going through growing pains. Eventually we will move to OpenSourceEcology.org with a more organized site design.
Inventing a New Civilization on a Shoestring Budget
Say you want to build a village, enterprise, or for that matter - an entire civilization – because civilization is just a compilation of productive enterprises. Say you have only $10k in your pocket. You can begin to build your habitat with a CEB press of 3000 bricks per day production, and a sawmill with 3000 board feet per day of production – easily. You will need a tractor for earth moving and power. These 3 tools total $6500 for materials to build these tools from open source plans. You can then build the entire technological infrastructure with a personal fabrication open source Fab Lab – with metal melting furnace, 3D printer, CNC machines, and circuit fabrication, for another $3500 in materials, for a total of $10k. You’ll have to learn the skill to build and operate the production machinery. We can teach you, and you can even propagate a 5-kingdom gene bank for an entire agricultural infrastructure – it’s on the house. You’ll just have to find yourself some land, sun, water, and scrap steel. What if this package could be self-replicating? Fab Lab and gene bank make it so. Now we’re talking.
An imaginary situation? Everyone’s entitled to their opinion, but we’re taking the development of the above very seriously at Factor e Farm. See the Distillations videos. And if you are compelled to help - we started a request for proposals for the First World Conference on Open Source Ecology. Please consider applying.
If you can’t make it to the Conference, but would like to support this as a True Fan of this work, then subscribe to our campaign by going to our blog.
Factor e Farm
- Our main open source collaboratory and land-based development facility, since 2007, is Factor e Farm, in the Kansas City area, central USA. See our weblog for ongoing updates.
- Ongoing events and workshops are posted at the Factor e Farm mailing list
- Our Drupal website is here
- First year of Factor e Farm
- Wiki development site for the Global Village Construction Set
- See our legacy webpage here.
- Archives of some of our theory and history are here.
