Introduction
The Open Source Ecology Wiki is dedicated to the collaborative development of a basic and robust open source high appropriate tech infrastructure of technology and permaculture for a local economy based 'Global Village', as embodied in the list of the products and services of the Global Village Construction Set. This 'village' is inherently:
- one which promotes the highest autonomy and freedom
- grounded in self-sufficiency
- dedicated to voluntary pursuits, right livelihood, and quality of life
The basic assumption for a 'Global Village' is that humans are capable of transcending the struggle for survival and resource conflicts, where this preoccupation is replaced by higher pursuits of personal and societal evolution. Read more.
The Factor E Distillations videos help explain the concept of Open Source Ecology, the Global Village Construction Set, and the development at Factor e Farm. See the Factor E Distillations page to watch the videos and check the blog for the latest updates.
You can also see the entire overview of OSE in the OSE Proposal.
