We've started the Free/Libre/Open-source (FLO) Solutions Working Group at Occupy Wall St because we believe that everyone should have access to the information they need to create the world they want.
Our group develops, deploys and documents free, libre and open source solutions to common challenges. Many of these solutions are emerging out of the working groups at Liberty Square so a top priority is providing these groups with technical support.
Meeting Minutes
Channels of Communication
Weekly meeting: Tuesdays at 3pm at Charlotte's Place at 109 Greenwich St, NYC. See our meeting minutes.
We generally hang out 12:00 to 18:00 at the LibreCafe on the southwest corner of Liberty Square, NYC or at Charlotte's Place at 109 Greenwich St.
If you want to connect with us please email solutions[at]nycga[dot]cc.

Occupy* Mobile Tools Curation Effort
Development Environment
Can someone describe our development environment here and how devs can get involved from the technical side?
Projects
Free Network
Members of the Free Network Foundation have established as Freedom Tower at Liberty Square that provides free WiFi the square's inhabitants and a secure network for communicating with other occupations.
Description of the Freedom Tower...
Next Steps
- Assemble a Freedom Tower fabrication team
- Acquire funding and space to build towers
...
PermaBank
PermaBank is a FLO solution for resource exchange. The first feature is a gifting platform where individuals and groups can post their wishes (requests) and gifts (offers.) We think this solution will improve the effectiveness of the gifting culture that has emerged in Liberty Square.
We will document our experience and how the system is working with the intention of providing other people occupying spaces around the world with the information they need to create their own currency solutions.
Join the list serve here
For more information visit PermaBank.cc or visit the OWS Currency resources.
Next Steps
- Comment on wireframes
- First development sprint: Sunday at noon - Sarapis office @ 134 Spring St.
PlainSite
On PlainSite, the law is in plain sight. Even if you're not an expert, you can help change it. The platform allows users to post problems and solutions in layman's terms, which can then be linked to specific parts of federal or (eventually) state law. It would make an excellent platform for listing demands as users can vote on which particular problems or solutions they support (or don't).
We need help parsing state laws. The site is located at http://www.plainsite.org.
Occupy Everywhere
We're incubating OccupyEverywhere on this wiki page.
Lists
We need to organize list moderators and people who can upload resources from the conversation into a wiki and write regular summaries (weekly?) about activity and discussion.
We're moderating the following lists
- InterOcc is an inter-occupation communication list - Mailman
Projects
We're developing tools and techniques that help occupiers operate in a efficient, transparent and collaborative manner.
