WHAT
- What have you already contributed to the OSE project? (technical contributions, blogging about us, financial support, organizing events, translations, interviews, video editing, publications, publicity work, behind-the-scenes work, CAD work, wiki contributions, computer support, etc)
One blog post, and many discussions with people in my network.
Communications

Organizational
- Yes, have started multiple businesses from scratch, and can advise/strategize here.
Computer Support
- I build computers from parts, but am not a super-hacker.
Finances
- I've run budgets for early-stage startups through venture-stage. I know enough to know when I can handle something, and when a tax lawyer really needs to dig in.
Sociology
- Yes -- I was a Sociology/Political Science major. Would love to help with this.
Home Economics
- Yes, can cook, but no, have not been a farmer. Would like to.
Design
- No.

HOW can you help?
- How are you interested in contributing to the work of GVCS development?
Communications and movement-building.
- Can you volunteer to work with us, and if so, how many hours per week?
Depends on how you think I can help.
- 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?
Maybe, but this isn't my focus.
- Are you interested in purchasing equipment from us to help bootstrap development?
Very possibly. I have friends interested in doing a documentary about "spreading the movement" on 52 acres in Maine, who might be interested in purchasing a brick press for initial project goals.
- Are you interested in bidding for consulting/design/prototyping work?
No.
- Are you a True Fan? If not, why not?
Not yet, will become one.
- Would you like to see yourself working with us on a full-time basis?
Eventually, maybe.
- Are you interested in using the technologies that we are developing directly?
Eventually.
- 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.
Ask me again in a year. :)
