Design Levels

OSE's goal is collaborative design for a transparent and inclusive economy of abundance. We believe that the general public can - and indeed should - be involved in designing and building the things that it uses. This task is too important to be left completely to third parties. We believe that public, collaborative design is one of the prerequisites for a democratic society, because solving issues of design should naturally be a public process. One of the advantages of public, as opposed to proprietary, design - is that people take control of technology - as opposed to technology controlling people.
