OUTLINE

via original post (anonymous author) on Diaspora:

    /"It seems like the whole nomadic inventor movement is taking off. For a long time now, creative people without profit motives haven't had the easiest time getting their ideas out there. That's all changing though. Here are a few places where a person could go, camp, meet like minds, and develop their ideas, all in open source, extremely low cost to money free environments. The camps have specific projects that they hope will benefit humanity and are also open to new open source projects and ideas. If any of you are or know someone creative that wants to learn to thrive off grid and make the world a better place by doing so, please share this post with them. :)"/

        hackbases are live-in hackerspaces, like residencies for hackers and people interested in technology (but also other things!)
    * http://sharewiki.org/en/Nomadbase:
        "A nomad base is a shared living space where all inhabitants can feel like hosts or in other words: 'at home'."
    * http://nomadwiki.org/en/Nomad_Bases :
        "A nomadbase is a communal living space, whose main purpose is to give long-term travellers the opportunity to have a place they can call home for free and without long-term obligations, where they come to (and leave) whenever and as often as they want. It is a place where they are not guests, but flatmates, no matter how long they stay."

http://totalism.org/ (hosting this overview)
Focus:
    * "a tactical, post-capitalism platform researching and building Hackbases (coliving hackerspaces), since 2011"
    * "This hackbase is an infrastructure project designing and deploying a free living habitat."
    * "Hackbases are live-in hackerspaces, the critically missing infrastructure to enable full-time vanguard technologist lifestyles. [...] hackers are subsumed by the life logic of current advanced capitalist societies [...] hackers with normal day jobs are powering a bullshit neoliberal political reality, which is destroying the pillars of dignified public life [...] These problems are as insufficiently addressed, and structurally cannot be solved by big corporate, startup, non-governmental or academic organisations, as well as by current hackerspaces."
    * importance of infrastructure over community, research in off-grid infrastructure, management cybernetics & knowledge technologies, ...
    * building a studio residence for recording bands

    PAF ("Performing Arts Forum") [St Erme, France]
http://www.pa-f.net/
PAF is based in St Erme, 150km north-east of Paris, France, between Reims and Laon. PAF (=PerformingArtsForum) is a place for the professional and not-yet professional practitioners and activists in the field of performing arts, visual art, literature, music, new media and internet, theory and cultural production, and scientists who seek to research and determine their own conditions of work. PAF is for people who can motorize their own artistic production and knowledge production not only responding to the opportunities given by the institutional market. Initiated and run by artists, theoreticians and practitioners themselves, PAF is a user-created, user-innovative informal institution. Neither a production-house and venue, nor a research-center, it is a platform for everyone who wants to expand possibilities and interests in his/her own working practice.

    Factor e Farm / Open Source Ecology [Missouri, USA]
A hackbase by OSE people, for working on that project.
http://opensourceecology.org/wiki/Factor_e_Farm
"Factor e Farm is a 30 acre parcel of land 1 hour away from the Kansas City International Airport in Missouri. In 2004, Open Source Ecology purchased this land - a blank slate that was a soybean field. Since then, we have been busy building infrastructure, using as much open source, libre processes and hardware as possible. [...] Factor e Farm is an experiment on many levels: natural ecology, industrial production, experimental research and development, immersion education, and a transformative lifestyle. Factor e Farm combines a lifestyle immersion in the world of open source hardware, and a goal of creating the open source economy. We are experimenting with what it would look like if a small group of people were able to achieve a full resilient lifestyle, by tapping solar power (direct and indirect) and appropriate industrial technology - to master infrastructure maintenance at no more than a few hours per year - to attain raw industrial productivity with appropriate, heirloom and modern technology - to ascertain production of food, housing, energy, and technology from local feedstocks. This implies significant technology, productivity and efficiency levels - essentially removing waste from the unstable model of centralized industrial production, and converting to a more congruent and ethical open source economy."

At the moment we are not open for visitors yet. It takes us a lot of time to show people around but we still have a lot of work to do first. Maybe next season. If you want to come and help you can always have a look on the support page to see if there are open tasks. [...] We don't have a list or anything to join and live in Project Kamp. We see this happening as an organic process. You come to help our first, see the land, see if you like the place. And if all good from both sides you gradually get involved more.

    Marinaleda [Andalusia, Spain]
Status:
    * "Today, Marinaleda is a place where the farms and the processing plants are collectively owned and provide work for everyone who wants it. A mortgage is €15 per month, sport is played in a stadium emblazoned with a huge mural of Che Guevara, and there are monthly 'Red Sundays' when everyone works together to clean up the neighbourhood. Leading this revolution is the village mayor, Juan Manuel Sánchez Gordillo, who in 2012 became a household name in Spain after heading raids on local supermarkets to feed the Andalusian unemployed."
    * "Marinaleda is a small and remote village of Andalusia, one of the poorest regions in Spain. The town, with a population of 2,700 citizens, has a unique political and economic system of a strong socialist nature. As a result Marinaleda has virtually full employment in Andalusia, a region where the unemployment rate is more than 36%.  The wage is equal for all workers, they earn 47 euro a day for six and a half hours of work. Moreover, the land is communal property."

It is a creative act of disobedience to the world of money, smoke, noise and speed. A proposal for collective cooperation and coexistence between generations, at the foot of Collserola and with roots in Nou Barris.
The valley comprises 35 hectares of land classified as ‘equipamientos’, part of the Collserola Natural Park and is owned by the Hospital de Sant Pau. However, from the point of view of use, the active custodianship of this suburban territory is exercised by the collectives that have reclaimed this as an agricultural and social space since 2001. This network mobilizes hundreds of people, all linked to one of the five projects of the valley, and remains viscerally convinced that the land belongs to the those that work it."

"[...] The project house and housing project Kanthaus, located at Kantstraße 20 and 22 in Wurzen, exists since Summer 2017. Conscious and effective use of resources is the topic we chose for ourselves and foodsharing is what brought us all together. The faces you encounter at Kanthaus can vary because we are part of a big network of ecological and social people from Germany and beyond. Normally there are around 10 people present at Kanthaus; when we hold events it can be way more but it's seldomly less. [...]"

    "CityDAO" [Wyoming, USA]

https://www.vice.com/en/article/93b5ve/crypto-investors-buy-40-acres-of-land-in-wyoming-to-build-blockchain-city
"""
CityDAO is an experiment that pitches itself as "building a city on the Ethereum blockchain." CityDAO is offering a basic form of citizenship through the purchase of one of 10,000 NFTs for .25 ETH (~$1000) that also confers access to a Discord, voting rights, and the ability to settle land after the "First & Founding Citizens." 
[...]
In September, for example, DAO members were selecting a parcel of land to buy in Wyoming that was under $150,000, between 5 and 100 acres, and "minimal regulations to maximize freedom." They settled on two parcels that had easy road access, were relatively large at 35 acres, and would allow for a variety of "use cases" such as "mobile homes, RV parking, camping, hunting." They did not, however, have any water on site nor did either parcel allow for more than three permanent housing properties.
One post brings out an annual precipitation map, highlighting that without water on site things will be hard as it rains 6 to 10 inches a year on site. "Ever hear of a city without water?" the commenter asks. It was only at this point that it seems access to water was more seriously considered.

Arcology Builders is named after Paolo Soleri's concept of arcology, an integration of architecture and ecology that reimagines future urban environments to be dense, walkable, low-energy, and co-existing with nature.
In contrast and complementing this original approach, we seek to regenerate and renovate big urban buildings where they exist, especially in cities that go through cyclical economic declines and where there is a need for permanently affordable housing.

    Kraftwerk1 [Zurich, Switzerland]
Kraftwerk1 is a cooperative and grassroots housing and workspace project with three settlements located in and around Zurich. It started as an experiment in the real estate crisis of the 1990s, departing from the vision of a worldwide movement of appropriation of former industrial areas, toward shaping “a new civilisation beyond work.” Kraftwerk1 became a collective, self-organized, environmentally and economically sustainable urban alternative, within a mix of residential, social and commercial spaces. [...] Through the process of development and (daily) living, Kraftwerk1 contributes to the renaissance of the traditional cooperative movement in Zurich. Its members developed environmental standards, operational concepts, and collaborative activities in dialogue among themselves and the elected cooperative bodies

THE DIGGERS
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diggers
"""
The Diggers were a group of Protestant radicals in England, sometimes seen as forerunners of modern anarchism,[1] and also associated with agrarian socialism[2][3] and Georgism. Gerrard Winstanley's followers were known as True Levellers in 1649 and later became known as Diggers, because of their attempts to farm on common land. 
Their original name came from their belief in economic equality based upon a specific passage in the Acts of the Apostles.[4][5] The Diggers tried (by "levelling" land) to reform the existing social order with an agrarian lifestyle based on their ideas for the creation of small, egalitarian rural communities. They were one of a number of nonconformist dissenting groups that emerged around this time. 
"""
----------
"""
In 1649 at St. George’s Hill, in England, a group of landless peasants who called themselves the Diggers told the landlords “Your claims to this land are based on robbery, and we declare them null and void.” They tore down the enclosures and began cultivating the land. It’s time for us to do the same with money.

Cooperation Jackson is an emerging vehicle for sustainable community development, economic democracy, and community ownership.
Our long term vision is to develop a cooperative network based in Jackson, Mississippi that will consist of four interconnected and interdependent institutions: a federation of local worker cooperatives, a cooperative incubator, a cooperative education and training center (the Kuwasi Balagoon Center for Economic Democracy and Development), and a cooperative bank or financial institution.
Cooperation Jackson’s basic theory of change is centered on the position that organizing and empowering the structurally under and unemployed sectors of the working class, particularly from Black and Latino communities, to build worker organized and owned cooperatives will be a catalyst for the democratization of our economy and society overall.
Cooperation Jackson believes that we can replace the current socio-economic system of exploitation, exclusion and the destruction of the environment with a proven democratic alternative. An alternative built on equity, cooperation, worker democracy, and environmental sustainability to provide meaningful living wage jobs, reduce racial inequities, and build community wealth. It is our position and experience, that when marginalized and excluded workers and communities are organized in democratic organizations and social movements they become a force capable of making transformative social advances.

Serendiep (ship / river barge)
"""
The name of the ship is derived from 'serendipity', the phenomenon of unexpected finds that is such an important driver for both art and science. On the one hand it alludes to the fact that in a search, an unexpected find can proof more important than the original goal of the search. You are looking for something, but you find something better. On the other hand it alludes to the capability of a prepared mind to recognize and notice the significance of such a find.
[...]
The ship was built in 1959 at shipyard De Jong en Smit in IJsselmonde, as one of the last ships with a riveted steel frame. Going by the name 'Fe' originally, and from 1971 by the name 'Anje', the ship served as a cargo barge on the inland waterways of mainly the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany. In 2018 the ship was acquired by De Spullenmannen, who are converting it to a space for science, absurdism, and commons. Serendiep is registered in the Dutch Registry of Sailing Heritage, the Register of Historic Ships kept by the LVBHB (nr 14950) and takes part in the Schepencarrousel.

is a global community of practice for creative experimenters across disciplines who care about social and ecological transformation. In increasingly precarious times, how can we build new ways forward that challenge the status quo? Our ways of addressing this and our backgrounds are diverse, but we are united by a shared interest in using creative practices (e.g. arts, design, culture, hacking, activism) to explore alternative futures that rethink, rebuild and heal.

One of our greatest challenges in the 21st Century will be to cultivate the capacities to intentionally guide social change using the best combinations of science, technology, organizational management, and artistic expression. In other words, humanity needs a design science for intentional social change that can be applied to increase community wellbeing for families, businesses, cities and towns, regions, and nations.
This is what I call Culture Design. It is an applied science of cultural evolution that seeks to merge design practices with community development efforts using the rigors of integrative social science methodologies. By supporting this work, you will be invited into the world of culture design hosted by the pioneer who has spent more than two decades laying the groundwork for this urgently needed framework that combines research and social change practice.
