Marcin Jakubowski: Open-sourced blueprints for civilization | Video on TED.com
http://www.ted.com/talks/marcin_jakubowski.html
Using wikis and #digital fabrication #tools, Marcin Jakubowski is open-sourcing the blueprints for 50 #farm_machines, allowing anyone to build their own tractor or harvester from scratch. And that’s only the first step in a project to write an instruction set for an entire self-sustaining village (starting cost: $10,000).
