Building and Simulating Open Ecological Ideas with OpenSource Technology

POC and Kickstarter to come soon. Until then, imagine with me, a piece of software:

Accessible via your favorite modern web browser. Find your BioRegion, then choose to explore a sample library of Homesteads, OffGrid Retreats, and EcoVillages that can show you possible EcoLogical Lifestyles for your BioRegion — or input your own Latitude and Longitude coordinates to import a chunk of earth, and get to building one yourself. Imagine a searchable drag-and-drop library of DIY Tutorials, BioRegional Educators and Workshops, and EcoProducts.

Instead of Roller Coasters and the Boxed-In-Life, let’s build the world WE want to see.

Who is it for?

Anyone who wants to build their own OffGrid Ecological Lifestyle, or contribute to helping others do the same.

  • Homesteaders
  • EcoResorts
  • OffGrid Retreats
  • EcoVillages
  • Intentional Communities
  • Educators and Workshop Leaders
  • Regenerative Real-Estate Agents
  • EcoProduct Creators

Goals

OpenSource Everything

From the technology used to create the simulator to the information referenced within the simulator, everything must be Open Source, free to download, and free and easy to contribute to. No subscription fees, no pay-to-play content. A robust core platform that allows "non-coders" to easily contribute new ideas.

Distributed Architecture

  • To keep the simulator small and easy to download, content will be distributed into "DLCs" by BioRegion and general Category.
  • The git repositories will be mirrored on multiple platforms, as well as by any contributors.
  • The platform stays "light" by linking out to other existing resources instead of trying to encapsulate the details itself.

Technology

OpenSource tools to work with and build on top of.

OpenSource Partnerships

We would love to partner with and link to existing OpenSource projects with similar values.

BioRegional Workshops and Educators

Once the platform is up, add yourself to the BioRegional directory for people to find you and learn from you.

Regenerative Real-Estate Agents

If you're trying to move deals that get land in the hands of regenerative projects, we can list you as a partner. If someone comes into the software without any land yet, we can send them your way.

EcoProduct Sponsors

Do you have a product that people may want to buy, to help them on their journey to Ecological abundance? Join our sponsors to have your products listed as an option alongside the OpenSource DIY plans, for those who have more money than time. A minimal referral fee will help us fund the project to keep it well maintained and thriving.
