For the OSCEdays 2017 we want to connect the community around the nutrient cycle which includes
FOOD: growing, harvesting, storing, transporting, preserving, preparing, biochar production, distributing
WATER: harvesting, purifying, hygienization, storing, distributing
RECYCLING: sanitation, hygienization, composting, methanization, storing, transporting, fertilizing
During the 2nd DocuDays on 8./9. April and the following weeks we invite as many existing projects as possible to contribute their manuals and other documentation to the community by the middle of May. This way each participating city will have a chance to choose from the pool of projects. During the actual OSCEdays this year these can then be built, adapted and iterated during the hackathon to start creating a pool of instructions that are ready to become a circular economy around some of the most basic needs: good soils, food, water, energy and sanitation.
These challenges, actions, projects and ideas have appeared in the forum so far. Please let us know if you have been part of one of them and would be interested in joining the shared effort this year. If you find any more or know of Open Source projetcs and instructions that are not documented here, please add them.
