We are looking for people who are interested in building the world's first replicable open source self-sufficient decentralized high appropriate tech permaculture ecovillage - to transcend survival and evolve to freedom.
Please see our weblog for an online journal of theory in practice at our land-based facility: Factor e Farm.
Feel free to sign up and add research and content to the Wiki to help Open Source Ecology develop the Global Village Construction Set! Read the wiki instructions for help.

Introduction
The Open Source Ecology Wiki is dedicated to the collaborative development of a basic and robust open source high appropriate tech infrastructure of technology and permaculture for a local economy based 'Global Village', as embodied in the list of the products and services of the Global Village Construction Set. This 'village' is inherently:
- one which promotes the highest autonomy and freedom
- grounded in self-sufficiency
- dedicated to voluntary pursuits, right livelihood, and quality of life
Our basic assumption for a 'Global Village' is that humans are capable of transcending the struggle for survival and resource conflicts, where this preoccupation is replaced by higher pursuits of personal and societal evolution. Read more.
The Factor E Distillations videos help explain the concept of Open Source Ecology, the Global Village Construction Set, and the development at Factor e Farm. See the Factor E Distillations page to watch the videos and check the blog for the latest updates.
You can also see the entire overview of OSE in the OSE Proposal.
