WHO are you?

 * Name - Kenneth Vanderpoorten


 * Location (city, country) - Brussels, Belgium


 * Contact Information (email, phone, Skype) -


 * Introductory Video -


 * Resume/CV - see http://kvdp.blogspot.com

WHY are you motivated to support/develop this work?
yes, I support open design
 * Do you endorse open source culture?

your organisation is working on establishing one of the first settlement/towns which can serve as a guideline for an AT village (see Appropedia on the issue)
 * Why are you interested in collaborating with us?

On itself it can't. However, as mentioned before the settlement built by GVCS can serve as a basis for other ecologic cities; some ecologic technology can also be promoted using GVCS
 * How do you think that the GVCS can address pressing world issues?

More active response is needed via email; also emailadresses of several members (active on different areas) should become available
 * What should happen so that you become more involved with the project?

CAD models via Google earth/warehouse are welcome additions
 * What are you missing in the project?

I can supply several CAD models of intrest (environmental engines, ...) and cross-pollination of my designs/models and GVCS can occur; GVCS handling moreof the workout in practice, the planning being done from my end (to some degree)
 * What are your suggestions for improvement of the project?

WHAT
engineering, agriculture, energy, architecture
 * List all of your skills in these areas: Communications - Organizational - Computer Support - Finances - Design - Natural Building - Electronics - Automation - Metallurgy - Engineering - Fabrication - Agriculture - Energy - Architecture - Video/Graphics/Art - PR/Marketing - Education - Construction - Industry - CNC - Chemistry - Product Design - Other

I made a (improved) 3D model of the Tesla turbine of OSE, traction engine is a work in progress
 * How have you already contributed to the project?

HOW can you help?''
As mentioned above, by sharing my designs at Google warehouse
 * How are you interested in contributing to the work of GVCS development?

I work on my own designs, and not necessairly specifically for OSE
 * Can you volunteer to work with us, and if so, how many hours per week?

Financial support for my models is welcome; however you can support only those you actually like/are of intrest to you
 * 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?

not at this time
 * Are you interested in Dedicated Project Visit?

no
 * Are you interested in purchasing equipment from us to help bootstrap development?

no
 * Are you interested in bidding for consulting/design/prototyping work?

no
 * Are you a True Fan? If not, why not?

I cooperate, and do not work for. Question is thus redundant.
 * Would you like to see yourself working with us on a full-time basis?

Sure, cross-pollination of ideas is always a good thing.
 * Are you interested in using the technologies that we are developing directly?

It should be noted that similar settlements/towns have allready been built in the past; some still exist, so it's not the first one. I indeed support the project however, albeith from a distance, atleast for the time being.
 * ''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.
