Building a New Open Source Circular Local Economy (OSCLE)

Stop Reset Go ([login to view URL]) is a global collective of citizen change agents from all walks of life who are building a novel new economic model based on the convergence of Open Source, Circular Design and Local Economy. This model is based on finding a practical way to leverage the strengths of the 99% (our numbers) instead of our weakness (access to capital) to build an alternate parallel economy that can scale. The basic strategy is to employ a cosmo-localized (Jose Ramos, 2016) global collaboration platform that promotes design sharing and distributed peer production amongst a growing network of innovation communities. We are looking for innovators who are open to starting an innovation community in their part of the world: designers, engineers, programmers, economists, scientists, eco-psychologists, anthropologists, urban planners, architects, skill artisans, community activists who would like to contribute. If you are looking for immediate capital compensation, this is not the project for you. However, if you want to explore participating in a practical system for the local production of circularly and biomimetically designed goods and services, and to create your own job opportunities in the near future, then this project is for you. We especially welcome the participation of retired, unemployed and underemployed visionaries. A book and research paper will be released shortly to officially kick off the project. Please contact us for more information.
