WHY are you motivated to support/develop this work?

• Do you endorse open source culture?

I am a socialist to the core.

Because I am a socialist to the core.

• How do you think that the GVCS can address pressing world issues?

By thinking small, local and sustainable. The most important human occupation is acquiring food. The elite know this and have all but taken over (global) food production (if you control a population's food you control that population).Food security must be the responsibility of each individual and the way to help this happen is to facilitate food production on a human scale.

• What should happen so that you become more involved with the project?

A small amount of discussion quickly followed by building stuff.

• 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.
