WHO are you?
- Name - Adam Haynes
- Location (city, country) - Akron, Ohio
- Contact Information - ARGHaynes (at) gmail (dot) com
WHY are you motivated to support/develop this work?
- Do you endorse open source culture?
Yes.
- Why are you interested in collaborating with us?
I believe that OSE represents a piece of the emerging puzzle of the next level of evolution of human society.
- How do you think that the GVCS can address pressing world issues?
GVCS will provide an amazing platform for independent communities.
- What should happen so that you become more involved with the project?
I need clear goals to fulfill. (Or if I were to get promoted at work, I could become financially involved.)
- What are your suggestions for improvement of the project?
The project needs a clear and formal expression of its capacity that addresses the needs/interests of different groups of people (i.e. College Administrators, Teachers, Philanthropists, etc.). I am hope to help with this.
WHAT
- List all of your skills in these areas: Communications - Organizational - Computer Support - Finances - Design - Natural Building - Electronics - Automation - Metallurgy - Engineering - Fabrication - Agriculture - Energy - Architecture - Video/Graphics/Art - PR/Marketing - Education - Construction - Industry - CNC - Chemistry - Product Design - Other
I believe myself to be a clear and precise communicator of the written word. Furthermore, I have found myself to be rather skilled at research and obtaining a clear vision of the "bigger picture." My degree is in education and most of my experience revolves around environmental education. However, my true passion is in community development. From a practical standpoint, the moshavim and kibbutzim of Israel have more to offer on a practical level than the communes of the 60s or religious communities of modern-times.
- How have you already contributed to the project?
I have started participating in the forum, I hope to increase my involvement.
HOW can you help?
- How are you interested in contributing to the work of GVCS development?
If there are needs that can be well met by my skills, then I will contribute there.
- Can you volunteer to work with us, and if so, how many hours per week?
Yes. My available time varies by week, some weeks I may be unable to do anything, others I may have a fair share of time to dispose.
- Are you interested in working with us for pay? If so, what services can you offer, and what is your hourly or per-project rate?
Yes. Perhaps the most useful skills I could offer revolve around communicating information, developing an informational schema and curriculum development.
- Are you interested in Dedicated Project Visit?
I am, but do not think it would be possible at present.
- Are you interested in purchasing equipment from us to help bootstrap development?
I am but am unable.
- Are you interested in bidding for consulting/design/prototyping work?
I believe I lack the necessary skills.
- Are you a True Fan? If not, why not?
I am not. First, I just became aware of the existence of "True Fans." Second, I have little money to spend.
- Would you like to see yourself working with us on a full-time basis?
Yes, very much so.
- Are you interested in using the technologies that we are developing directly?
I am.
- Are you interested in being part of the world's first, open source, resilient community? The GVCS is the preparatory step for the OSE Village Experiment - a 2 year, immersion experiment (2013-2014) for testing whether a real, thriving, modern-day prototype community of 200 people can be built on 200 acres using local resources and open access to information? We are looking for approximately 200 people to fill a diverse array of roles, according to the Social Contract that is being developed. This may be the boldest social experiment on earth - a pioneering community whose goal is to extend the index of possibilities regarding harmonious existence of humans, ecology, and technology - as a beacon of light to benefit of all people on Earth.
I am quite interested and would enjoy exploring this idea further.
