The Open Source Ecology <http://opensourceecology.org.nyud.net/> project is
developing plans for a set of hardware tools that provide everything you
need to build a sustainable community from scratch:
Open Source Ecology is a network of farmers, engineers, and supporters that
for the last two years has been creating the Global Village Construction
Set, an open source, low-cost, high performance technological platform that
allows for the easy, DIY fabrication of the 50 different Industrial Machines
that it takes to build a sustainable civilization with modern comforts. The
GVCS lowers the barriers to entry into farming, building, and manufacturing
and can be seen as a life-size lego-like set of modular tools that can
create entire economies, whether in rural Missouri, where the project was
founded, in urban redevelopment, or in the developing world.
