things worth paying attention to
www.stephensgospel.com “Gospel: from the Old English gōdspel, from gōd ‘good’ + spel ‘news, a story’. 1) a thing that is absolutely true 2) a set of principles or beliefs.

“Transition means change — a shift from one way of living to another. The Transition Movement, which began in Britain and Ireland in 2006, has since grown into an international network of communities spanning 67 countries. It envisions a world where every individual can become part of a supportive community, feeling safe, welcomed, and empowered to thrive.”
“The vision of Open Source Ecology is a world of collaborative design – for a transparent and inclusive economy of abundance…. OSE is currently developing a set of open source blueprints for the Global Village Construction Set (GVCS) – a set of the 50 most important machines that it takes for modern life to exist – everything from a tractor, to an oven, to a circuit maker. In the process of creating the GVCS, OSE intends to develop a modular, scalable platform for documenting and developing open source, libre hardware – including blueprints for both physical artifacts and for related open enterprises.” Innovative Seed Eco Homes project.
