Open Source Ecology (OSE) International
(last updated 9/2008)
OSE is a global movement and collaboratory. Our goal and current engagement is building the world's first replicable, open source, post-industrial village. To build such a village, we are developing and testing the set of tools required to build such a village - the Global Village Construction Set. Land stewardship and local production via open source design and digital fabrication are the key features of this adventure. Right livelihood and resolution of pressing world issues is the intended byproduct.
- Our main open source collaboratory and land-based development facility, since 2007, is Factor e Farm, in the Kansas City area, central USA. See our weblog for ongoing updates.
- Ongoing events and workshops are posted at the Factor e Farm mailing list
- Our static website is here
- First year of Factor e Farm
- Wiki development site for the Global Village Construction Set
- The first university chapter of OSE started in 2008 at the U. Missouri, Columbia
- See our legacy webpage here.
- Archives of some of our theory and history are here.
