Concrete Vision for the Open Source Economy in Europe

[Nikolay Georgiev]

Hi everyone,

what I am missing in my work in Germany is the European version of the GVCS:

A concrete technological vision for the development of the Open Source Economy in Europe.

That's why I think it is high time to create it.

I wrote my initial ideas here:
http://wiki.opensourceecology.de/wiki/Open_Source_Economy

A Vision:

• co-created by everyone who wants to participate in the Open Source Economy
• that is easily transmitted and explained with a picture and words
• flows easily from the abstract to the concrete choice of technology.
• continuously updated and improved by community

I image that we co-define the technological criteria, economic sectors and technologies.

We should involve everyone who is interested in creating this vision. This a vision not just for OSE Europe, but for everyone in Europe.

What do you think and who wants to participate?

Nikolay

Hello,

I have started to work in the Open Source Economy concept by applying the Common Welfare Economic Model started by this organisation http://www.gemeinwohl-oekonomie.org/en/

I started with this work in my area and it's what i'd like for Open E Land. Basically it's a model that promotes widely the open source ideas but with rules.

• Local Economies
• Social Enterprise- Social responsability
  
• Direct trade
• No patents
  
• etc

I will help in this as long as i put into practice all the CWE.

Best

Hi Ezequiel,

we will put also numbers for the Open Source Economy similar to the Common Welfare Matrix.

Before that I want to invite the people in identifying first the technologies needed for the Economy + The technological values we need in Europe (In Germany we already added Safety and Quality).

I would make this decision making open and participative rather than do it with few people in Germany, because what we are doing is affecting Europe. It is a Vision to be owned and shared by everyone interested.

Yeah, fine!

I like that, put numbers and protocol for the technologies and for the social impact of open sourcing industrial manufacturing, and enterprises.

Hi Kamala,

the bicycle lawn mower would fit into the low-tech:

I will send you email when we start the technology identification process. Meanwhile you can gather more ideas.

Thanks,
Nikolay
