Strategic Open Source World Creation – One Community Weekly Progress Update #227

Strategic open source world creation is simultaneously addressing the foundations of what is necessary to live sustainably and happily. Through global thinking and goals, open source and sustainable approaches to food, energy, housing, education, for-profit and non-profit economic design, social architecture, fulfilled living, and global stewardship practices can be combined to create a way of living that is better than most people are living now. If this way of living is also demonstrated as easy enough and affordable enough, it will predictably spread on its own and this is how One Community sees creating positive and permanent global change as possible.

• Here’s our project overview
• Here’s our world-change methodology
  
• Here’s how this becomes self-replicating
• Here’s how we are open source and free-sharing all the do-it-yourself designs
