What it really takes to accomplish our Mission Statement is the creation of a parallel infrastructure for meeting human needs in a sustainable and regenerative way. To this end, the present system may be utilized as a working infrastructure onto which social enterprise can be superimposed as a critical component of meeting human needs in a sustainable economy. We believe that the route to such infrastructure includes: (1) open access to practical knowledge, (2), the collaborative development of working economic models via the nonprofit sector, and (3) education, demonstration, and training aimed at integrated, ecological, regenerative social enterprise. The process by which we attain the above is called Open Source Development, a collaborative, open process which builds on past knowledge and leverages public collaboration to create an Open Society."
