Factor e Farm Documenter

=Introduction=

We are looking for a documenter to live at the Factor e Farm site to capture the story of a civilization being built from scratch.

Our goal is to document the creation of the Global Village Construction Set (GVCS) - as an organized effort for the creation of a model Global Village. We are basing this community on an Open Source Economy enabled by wise use of modern technology - which differentiates this effort from all previous civilization reboot efforts. This is a crucial social experiment that has the power to change the world by inserting Principles of Open Culture into all societal undertakings.

We are looking for an enterprising partner who is capable of creating significant value with their media materials. We are not looking for an employee – but a lifestyle investor and startup instigator - ambitious, self-motivated, full time, mature, physically able, funded via the work itself in the best case, and interested in at least a 1/2 year commitment as not only a reporter, but as a resource-generating developer and investor in the project at a deep level. At best, we'd like to find somebody who considers the work not as a job – but as meaning, inspiration, and ever-changing adventure.
