Oekonux 4 OSE Presentation

In this presentation, I will tell:

1. Introduce that we are building a replicable Global Village
2. GVCS
3. So, You want to build a village?
4. You'll need to start with an economy. Food.
5. Building.
6. Energy.
7. Fab
8. Is it an economy? Yes, all tools are productive
   1. Show productivity - ag, fab
9. How do we know? We've done a bunch of experiments already. Ag, fab - tractor + CEB
10. Closed Energy cycle - from Mathew
11. In fact, this constitutes an economy/money system
12. Wait a minute? It would take too long to make this happen.
    1. We will offer immersion training,
13. Cost analysis:
    1. LifeTrac infrastructure- $25k and about 6 months labor, vs $250k plus $25k yearly costs of depreciation
    2. Food infrastructure- $3k stock, plus $50k in ousourced labor ($50/hour at 40 hr weeks for 28 weeks with heavy equipment)
    3. One man year for eternal freedom? Case for BOAB
14. Impossible? How about 1-year immersion training?
15. Transformative economics - CSP, at cost production
16. Transformative economics - Closing the industrial divide
17. Transformative economics - local fuel
18. Transformative economics - NGO, private contract, your own economy, your own money, transparency by documenting production
19. Challenges - 90% slavery per individual; slavery is voluntary
20. Transitional movement - check out, and invest in a real future
21. Where are we now? CEB press, towards product release - to close off accountability cycle?
22. Collaboration - much more challenging
23. Crowd funding - quite successful; workshop is paid for
24. Conclusions - There is a small and robust set, that is replicable if it's open source.
25. Subscribe, or tell us what we're missing.

• Who we are? Farm, os product developer, fab lab developer
• What have we done theoretically? GVCS
• What have we done practically? Tractor and CEB
• Part of a bigger package:
  • Fab
  • Tractor
  • OS Agroecology - we know permaculture, but now we have a key to its replicability
    • Gene stock
    • Equipment
• Why is it important?
  • Innovative biz model for econ transformation via at cost production - CSM
  • New option - Buy out at the Bottom, skip on life of wage slavery
• Challenges - very low acceptance, of True Fans concept, very few people really want to be free
  • Either can't comprehend/believe it because they don't have skill to comprehend/believe, or they want to be slaves?
• Huge liberatory and transformative potential.
• What are we doing currently? CEB press
• What are predicted practical implications?
  • Closed energy cycle - Food, energy, fabrication, show diagram
  • Closing of industrial divide, show diagram
  • Solar Power System Ecology - sun/biofuel to liquid fuel/electricity
• Self-Replicability Potential
  • Clear with open source agroecology, if you have nursery and gene bank
  • Self-replicating machinery with Furnace, machining, and HydraRaptor
• Learnings that there is very little actual support, that it is slow
  • There are many people super excited, but they don't have the skill, are in debt, suffer from the 90% tax on their life, or all of the above
• On the other hand, we have 9 people lined up by May, others are constantly knocking at our door, to the point that we have a $50 dollar first-time visitor fee

Slide1

• Slide Oekonux4 1 - Building the World's First, Replicable, Open Source, Off-Grid Global Village

Slide 1'

• Slide Oekonux4 1' - We propose the Global Village Construction Set and Lifestyle Engineering

Slide 1

• Slide Oekonux4 1 doubleprime - Some Examples

Slide 2

• Slide Oekonux4 2 - Infrastructure Set Sufficient for Creating Advanced Civilization

• • End of Resource Conflicts by local sustainable production
  • Abundance - a rigorous condition of skill and wisdom
  • Promise: unprecedented quality of life and emergent small-scale republics

Slide 3

Slide Oekonux 4 3

• So, you want to build a village?
  • If you could, why not?
  • Here are the tools
  • Here are the skills to use them

Slide 4

• Slide Oekonux4 4 - You might want to start with a full economy. Agriculture, housing, energy, transportation, fuel, technology.
  • It's all in there.

Slide 5

• Slide Oekonux4 5 - Start with Agriculture

Slide 6

• Slide Oekonux4 6 - Move on to Housing

Slide 7

• Slide Oekonux4 7 - Move to Energy Infrastructure

Slide 8

• Slide Oekonux4 8 - Move on to Fabrication

Slide 8 prime

• Slide Oekonux 4 8 prime - Several Unique Features of the GVCS

Slide 9

• Slide Oekonux4 9 - We are Engaged Actively in Building the Construction Set
  • Tractor proto
  • CEB proto, bricks, building
  • Orchard-goat-chicken-garden-facility
  • Designs - lathe, torch table, microtrac, sawmill

OSE Product Cycle - scalable

Slide 10

• Slide Oekonux4 10 - Building pictures

Slide 11

• Slide Oekonux4 11 - Agriculture

Slide 12

• Slide Oekonux4 12 - Next challenge is production

Slide13

• Slide Oekonux4 13 - At Cost Production

Slide14

• Slide Oekonux4 14 - Entire GVCS Constitutes an Economy

Slide16

• Slide Oekonux4 16 - Economic Analysis Without GVCS
  • About $1M for infrastructure for a 30 person community (cheap)

Slide17

• Slide Oekonux4 17 - Economic Analysis with GVCS Available
  • Sweat equity can be utilized for village replication (cheaper)

Slide18

• Slide Oekonux4 18 - Land Access is the Most Important Issue

Slide 19

• Slide Oekonux4 19 - GVCS is About Social Technology, not Hardware Technology
  • Present strategy: Review/bid -> fund -> deploy&document
    • Testing, production replication by on-site team
  • Noone has cracked the collaborative hardware development nut
  • Bids are a good strategy (such as OpenMusic), but careful analysis is required prior to bidding

Slide 20

• Slide Oekonux4 20 Open Source Design Rationale (OSDR) is Defined for a Particular Implementation
  • Careful, point-by-point description to novice with high school education
  • WikiPedia model is not easy to apply in our case, becuase of attention span requirements
  • Break it down to 0-attention span chunks

Slide21

• Slide Oekonux4 21 - OSDR Standards
  • Diagram of all design points
  • OSE Specifications for guiding design principles
  • Red Pages for development support
  • Full explanation of points
  • Diagram can be connected to 3D design
  • 3D design annotated with BOM
  • BOM spreadsheet
  • Fab procedure
  • Review/bid process based on Resource Map, involves experts
  • Funding via open proposal writing, via OSDR content
  • Status should be transparent by viewing OSDR content

Slide 22

• Slide Oekonux4 22 - GVCS Program is Transformative on Many Fronts

Slide 23

• Slide Oekonux4 23 - Transparency and NGO Status are Key

Slide 24
