We are looking for people who are interested in building the world's first replicable open source self-sufficient decentralized permaculture village - to transcend survival and evolve to freedom.

Why not just buy a used John Deere or Cat? It would be better, cheaper and a helluva lot less work than building one out of scrap

Looks like Caterpillar needs to contribute to your open source, cause yours sucks ass. LOL

When will we see the open source for an iPhone.

[a10fjet]

so much leverage working against it there...

bad idea

[ChibiabosWolf]

The machines are being prototyped, folks. The GVCS are intended to be tools that, -when finished- people can build themselves with minimum capital ... but they have to be designed and prototyped first, and until there is a full and complete set of tools (such as their own induction furnace to forge their own parts), they must rely on off-the-shelf parts to develop the prototypes. There is a long road ahead.

Made with health and safety in mind.... great..

and the lessons learned from industry are used...

and ecology...why build a hybrid tractor when you can build a traditional one..

its great to see all the things you advocate actually do not apply to yourself..

[shoobedoorocketship]

i hope he has open source health insurance....

[Ls7colorado]

could be worse... i have no skill at all.. i have a shovel
