Strategic Plan 2 Ambitious

Mission

The mission of Open Source Ecology is to create the Open Source Economy - an economy that optimizes not only production, but distribution - while promoting environmental regeneration and social justice.

Vision

Open Source Ecology will not rest until the barriers to human evolution are toppled. Our platform is

• Eliminating Material Scarcity - 50 machines of the Global Village Construction Set - a Village in a Box
• Freedom for All - The elimination of war, and conflicts over resources
• Enabling the Human Spirit - community of 12 people, 2 hrs. per day to reach a modern standard of living from local resources - an ultimate standard of human potential
• Open Invitation - The benefits of Open Source are bigger than software.

Introduction

Our goal is to create a parallel Open Source Economy that captures 0.1% of the global market share of all physical production by 2018. This production includes food, energy, housing, fuel, transportation, electromechanical technology, and microelectronics. An Open Source Economy is defined as an efficient economy - where Efficiency is defined as access to open source design and openly-published business models/enterprise templates (Distributive Enterprise).

All wealth comes from sunlight, rocks, soil, plants, and water - the abundant feedstocks of modern civilization. We are creating an open source toolkit that allows people to convert these resources directly to a modern standard of living - at a cost of no more than 2 hours of work per day. This is an ultimate standard of human potential.

An open source economy involves unleashing access to enabling know-how anywhere in the world - implying relocalization of economic production.

The OSE plan for achieving the above involves:

• Distributive Enterprise Platform - Developing a scalable, open source product development methodology by year-end 2013.
• Civilization Starter Kit - Developing the Global Village Construction Set (GVCS) in 2014 and 2015 to demonstrate the development of 6 parallel projects via the Distributive Enterprise Platform.
• Distributive Enterprise Fellows - Creating a curriculum for distributive entrepreneurs to build OSE economic hubs worldwide. The first training campus - called OSE Incubator - will be built in 2016, with the first class of 12 Fellows graduated by 2018 after a 2 year immersion program. New OSE Incubators will be developed on 3 year cycles from start of immersion training, to reach 144 OSE Incubators in 2022.

The GVCS consists of these tools:

Funding for GVCS development is obtained via bootstrapping production - meaning that the products developed as a result of the Distributive Enterprise platform are sold on the open market. Because of our significant social capital, marked by the popularity of the GVCS TED Talk - we are also leveraging nonprofit sector support to deliver the GVCS and the replication of the GVCS by means of Distributive Enterprise training - see Distributive Enterprise. et.
