WHY are you motivated to support/develop this work?
Yes. Ever since I first started using linux in 1999 I have loved the idea of open source. It's great to see open source electronics and now with the OSE, open source as a foundation of society. I love it!
 * Do you endorse open source culture?

What OSE is doing, I feel, is the fundamental foundation of the next societal evolution away from the current corrupt and dying profit model.
 * Why are you interested in collaborating with us?

By freeing people from the constraints of the corporate profit model and enabling those with low monetary income to prosper; opening the way for a world of sustainable abundance.
 * How do you think that the GVCS can address pressing world issues?

I would like to visit for a weekend in the next few months while I finish tying up some things here at home and if there is work I can do on-site, I will gladly stay for a prolonged period of time.

 * 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.
