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.

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.

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 WiFi to about half 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.
