Zeitgeist / Venus Project / Vaporware
Posted May 28th, 2009 by DanMy reactions on viewing the Zeitgeist orientation video.
Scientific method: the video and web sites talk a lot about scientific method, but as far as I can tell, these people aren't actually doing any science. They aren't forming hypotheses, designing experiments, collecting data and forming conclusions. There's no list of open questions and proposed experiments. The video is just assertion piled on top of assertion.

I've noticed the efforts by Neil to introduce The Venus Project and your reactions. I would like to re-open the discussion and share some of my own views and perspectives on the issues raised.

Changing from Global Village Construction Set to Resilient Community Construction Set
Posted May 14th, 2009 by JeremyWe're changing the name of the GVCS to the RCCS. We think the term "resilient community" is more self-descriptive, better defines what we are trying to communicate and is somewhat better known than "Global Village." What do you think of the change?

??Progress
Posted May 8th, 2009 by scottI haven't seen anything on the progress of the Liberator and some questions are:
1) What the schedule for the design and manufacture?
2) Are you still pressing the block along the big side (i.e. 6X12)?
3) What are some of your challenges?
OSE Tri-fold Brochure
Posted May 1st, 2009 by JeremyFor the upcoming Austrian tour we need a brochure to hand out to people to tell them quickly what OSE is about and why they should support it. We're thinking of doing a tri-fold design. What are some of the things that it should have on it? Are there any trifold templates out there? We have the Solar Turbine Brochure to start with as a base: http://openfarmtech.org/index.php?title=Solar_Turbine_Working_Paper#Abst...
