Open Source Ecology. True Fans. True Fans [Edit] We are able to work on the GVCS full-time thanks to the generosity of your donations. Kevin Kelly's influential essay 1000 True Fans suggested a funding structure in which 1000 supporters each donate a small amount to sustain a project they really believe in. We are looking for 1000 True Fans to each pledge $10 per month as part of the 1000 Squared Campaign. We use 100% of the True Fans funding for prototyping materials. (See the original blog post about the 1000 True Fans Campaign) And then fast forward to OSE's first ever Annual Report published at the beginning of 2013 to see the progress until the end of 2012.
On this page, you can read why people like you have joined the campaign. We have also had requests for larger donation options.

The Artificial Womb- From the time a person leaves its mother's womb, its every effort is directed towards building, maintaining, and withdrawing into artificial wombs, various sorts of substitute protective devices or shells.
The objective of these artificial wombs is to provide a stable environment for both stable and unstable activity; to provide a shelter for the evolutionary processes of growth and maturity - i.e., survival; to provide security for freedom and to provide defensive protection for offensive activity. This is equally true of both the general public and the elite. The Political Structure of a Nation - Dependency. Main Page. Strategic Plan 2 Ambitious. Abstract: This is a plan for creating the Open Source Economy (see Definition).
The program begins with developing the open source Global Village Construction Set. The GVCS is defined as a minimum set of technologies necessary to create advanced civilization from locally-availabe 'dirt and twigs' with 12 people and 1 year of time starting with a container-load of GVCS tools. In the process of developing the GVCS, we will be developing a scalable, open source product development platform - the Distributive Enterprise Platform. We intend to grow the organization to 3000 facilities worldwide by 2028 by training Distributive Entrepreneurs who then take integrated production capacity back to their communities. The mission of Open Source Ecology is to create the Open Source Economy - an economy that optimizes not only production, but distribution - while promoting environmental regeneration and social justice.
The OSE plan for achieving the above involves: The GVCS consists of these tools: edit. Power Cube. PowerCube II [edit] Overview The Power Cube is a modular, universal, self-contained power unit consisting of an engine coupled to a hydraulic pump, providing power from hydraulic fluid at high pressure through quick connect hoses. It is designed to function as a modular and interchangeable power supply for GVCS technologies.
[edit] Details The Power Cube was designed in accordance with OSE Specifications for maximum utility. The Power Cube features... Modularity - String multiple power cubes together for increased hydraulic power.
