Principles and Procedures
OSE is a project that follows certain standard procedures to enhance collaboration and Economic Time Binding:
- Publish early and often.
- If it is worth doing at all, it is worth doing badly.
- Publish on the wiki. The wiki is publicly viewable and editable, therefore anyone can have access to what you publish. If you send that information to a single person, then you have reached only a small fraction of your potential audience. Because we value open access to information, and because we have open boundaries to participation - publishing on the wiki is preferable to sending emails.
- Are near and long term goal is virally replicable, open source enterprise following the principles of Economic Time Binding. The social contract on Campus focuses around this.
- We are building a Construction Set, not a single product. If you like to think of a 'single product', that product is the entire Set.
- Subject matter expert, open source contributors lead the way. The project focuses on identifying and recruiting such contributors towards a greater goal than they could achieve themselves.
- Our methodology is open source, agile development.
- Our governance is based on meritocracy.
- We favor division of labor performed by multi-skilled generalists.
- Our human goal is to promote Integrated Humans who are aware of Self-Determination Theory.
- We believe that the most effective road towards peacekeeping is effective production. Progressive military people also believe this.
- We like to create tools. A tool can be used for good or evil. We are interested in tools that lead to regenerative development.
- We believe in 8 Forms of Capital plus the ninth one, Open Source Capital - defined as the wealth that comes from pursuing Distributive Enterprise
- We do not invent anything new. We study industry standards and build upon them to innovate on integrated, open source variants.
- We believe in a low-risk approach of building upon known solutions, rather than chasing for exotic new ones, because known solutions are sufficient to produce regenerative development at a modern standard of living.
- The proof of concept of the Global Village Construction Set is to demonstrate that a community of a dozen open source individuals can attain a modern standard of living using appropriate open source technology, up metal smelting and semiconductor production, from any parcel of land that has rocks, sunlight, plants, soil, and water.
