Building tools for replicable, open source, post-scarcity resilient communities

This is the future, open source, decentralized, off grid communities. It may sound like a commune, but is far far from it. It is more in the vein of hardcore libertarianism (either left or right). The Future. Highly recommended!!!!

Open Source Ecology: Open Source Ecology is developing and testing the Global Village Construction Set, a set of tools to build replicable, open source, modern, off-grid resilient communities. By weaving open source permacultural and technological cycles together, we intend to provide basic human needs while being good stewards of the land, using resources sustainably, and pursuing right livelihood. With the gift of openly shared information, we can produce industrial products locally using open source design and digital fabrication. This frees us from the need to participate in the wasteful resource flows of the larger economy by letting us produce our own materials and components for the technologies we use. We see small, independent, land-based economies as means to transform societies, address pressing world issues, and evolve to freedom.
