WHY are you motivated to support/develop this work?
Working in the past 15 years as Corporate Social Investment Consultant there has been many opportunities to meet demands arising from real needs. However, connecting the solution with business interests, was rather complicated. The main goal of a CSI Consultant is to discover resources and hidden potential in the society, adding the "organisation" and infrastructure provided by the company or government opened many times the gates to success. Therefore, at the first place, this is a service for governmental bodies, NGOs and multinational companies with strong influence worldwide. The consultancy improves project development and the actual production by focusing on "out-of-the-box" solutions which can be achieved by individuals, but with the ability of system thinking. The change factors in East Europe for achieving community related goals is clearly visible, and I'd like to support this in Hungary too.
- Do you support open source culture?
Open source is one of the only acceptable solution for community developments. It's our responsibility to grow it beyond "movements", so it becomes the natural basic solution for community based challanges.
- Why are you interested in collaborating with us?
First of all, because I'm a community investment consultant for more then a decade and it's my life. Secondly, because I feel passionate about the idea, that we can open a platform for Hungarian people, and so they can add their part to the global changes. Third, because we work with a technical solution for e-learning, which can help to teach, how to produce actually the machines.
- How do you think that the GVCS and Open Source Hardware can address pressing world issues?
Understanding, that the individuals are not necesseraly dependent on big financial and corporate solutions IF they collaborate within the closer community, AND share their knowledge, expertise and resources is the key factor. Not everywhere e.g. will be a machine for ever needed, it can be shared between close villages, while the other community can provide a different type of resource. This will naturally drive the human collaboration potential and helps to change the current situation.
- What do you like in OSE Europe?
It's better to say, what would I like to be part of it in the Future, because right now only the country platform seems to be working, where they are set at all. I'd like to be part of a vivid, collaborating community, which has an active dicsussion platform, with lots of offline opportunties.
- What should happen so that you become more involved with OSE Europe?
Creating an informative communication portal, digital content, and local access points.
- What is missing in OSE Europe?
Fire. Spirit. Power. Information. Events and conferences. Phisical places for "walk in and be part of it" opportunities.
- What are your suggestions for improvement in OSE Europe?
Mapping the current "living villages", alternative solutions, communities with real local government where no jobs are available. Create sufficient digital information about the machines and show examples for working "crowd-sourcing" methods. Create the easy accessible IT platform to set profile, join group and show the current projects working on. Link all this with an award/recognition day, and communicate to the public.
