Open Source Ecology (OSE) Germany is a movement of entrepreneurs, engineers and supporters
creating an Open Source Economy, an economy that optimizes both production and distribution
while providing environmental regeneration and social justice.

We take the best technology practices needed to build a local economy,
improve them continually according to long-term sustainability values and share them to everyone.

Collaborative Open Hardware Development	Open Business Models	People
We are focused on economically significant technologies in the sectors housing, construction, farming, renewable energy, transportation, fabrication and more, according to long-term sustainability Core Values like replicability, modularity, scalability, simplicity, low-cost, high performance, use of local and natural resources. The distribution of the technologies is optimized through open sourcing the designs and production processes, creating rapid learning materials and gaining experience through hands-on workshops.	The transparency and open sharing of the business models and their improvement on-the-go enables adaptive and sustainable business structures for everyone. Our current business model consist of: donations and financial support by companies. See our open book accounting.	See Marcin's TED Talk.

Implications Once the technologies and business models are open sourced, people with access to flexible fabrication workshops can download the designs, adapt them to their local environment if needed and build the technologies. Then they share back their improvements and innovations and create additional value locally and globally. This open innovation cycle repeats itself and boosts rapidly economical improvements worldwide. The implications are enormous: we are able to create world-wide best practices open source technologies. the production and the economy is re-localized. work becomes meaningful through more conscious choices and maximized value distribution. we cover our basic needs and have more free time for higher pursuits. we transcend material scarcity. we create open education for everyone. we create a culture of openness, collaboration, solidarity, common welfare, meaning and peace human potential is unleashed. future generations inherit all physical technologies and open source documentation and build upon it.
