Resource Based Economy Foundation
Welcome
Package
Welcome
to the Foundation. We were established to improve the lives of the
People all over the world. As our communications spread, we as a
People start to share our goals and beliefs. We are here to support
and help you and/or your organization. If
you want to help end poverty, scarcity, or simply help the People in
your neighborhood RBEF chapter, we will make sure every dollar is
accounted for and the resources are not wasted. The Foundation is
also developing strong communities in every city around the world to
increase the level of influence you have on your government. A strong
informed community will pick leaders who want the best for the
people. If they turn out to be two-faced, the community will oust the
old leader and put a more truthful one in place. We will assist you
in the developing process of making a local community from the
national and/or international level.
This
document, a.k.a package, will guide you through everything you'll
need to know to get nice and cozy in this dynamic foundation. I
highly recommend, before you find out the details of RBEF, by reading
this rather simplistic Introduction
to RBEF..
Now, getting back to the
package. First, I find it important to get you used to the site, as
we have many features that you will be able to use.
In
the Resource Based Economy Foundation, we divided it up into multiple
groups. These groups range from information gathering to developing
the Venux
Operating System.
Groups
Engine
Unit:
The
EnU is the global strategic decision and coordination center. The
Engine Unit can also be perceived as a strategic decision and
direction (coordination) center for project's coordinators - making
sure that all projects work together efficiently. The Engine Unit is
logically divided into four general sections: Administrative, AuxBiz,
AuxDev and Research. Each section is under a direct control of
assigned EnU member(s). You may contact this group at
engineunit@rbefoundation.com
.
Global
Cooperation Group:
This
group coordinates and accords with any organization that has interest
in RBEF, its goals, actions, et cetera. This group works with the
Information Gathering & Promotional Group (IGPG) to get resources
out to organizations, and helps distribute useful information from
all groups. You may contact Steve Sojo, the coordinator of this
group, at steve.sojo@rbefoundation.com
.
Global
NPOs Network Group:
The
primary goal of the group is to cover the area of everyday
cooperation and communication within the RBEF's NPO legal network in
the various countries. The Group is responsible for the smooth
communication , creation and coordination of NPO's in the countries
for the legal operations of the RBEF. later on it is going to manage
the RMP - Resource Management Platform. You may seem more information
on this group by clicking here.
Within the Global NPOs
Network Group, there is multiple sub-groups:
Global
RBEF:
The Global RBEF deals
with matters such as the U.S.A NPO and the setting up of multiple
non-profit organization branches around the world.
Resource
Management Platform:
This group is a group of
software developers that are developing the central platform for all
RBE project requests, project presentation, subscription and for
the transparent resources and donations management system.
Information
Gathering & Promotional Group (IGPG):
This group deals with all
the information that gets threaded into and out of the organization,
promoting RBEF and answering any questions that may arise regarding
the organization.
If
you feel, after you get comfortable and have a good understanding of
what a RBE is and what the organization stands for, you can contact
Joshua Strobl, the coordinator of this group, at
joshstrobl@rbefoundation.com
or
admin@globalcommunityportal.com
.
Within
the Information Gathering & Promotional Group, there are many
subgroups called Teams or Foundations. Here is the current list of
teams/foundations under IGPG:
I
& P Technology (Hardware) Team (Within IGPG):
You
are probably curious, why is there two groups, both the Software
Development Group and the I & P Technology Team. The huge
difference is the I & P Tech. Team deals with hardware related
issues, along discussing the development of the
financial distribution system, help foundation ticket system and
development of the RBEF Site. This group will also discuss HTML5 and
XML technologies, hardware compatiblility, etc. The main purpose is
to assist and cooperate with the Software Development team by
providing suggestions and requests.
Help
Foundation (Within IGPG)
The
Help Foundation (FAQ Team) is a team of experts working to solve
questions regarding the Resource Based Economy system, RBEF and
multiple organization that it has ties to. It will also have a handy
and smart search engine in which it you may ask questions and it will
give you the most accurate answers within our database. This team is
currently in it's "ideas" phase, so a coordinator is yet to
be assigned, we are also waiting for the Help Foundation software to
reach query and be built.
Promotional
Team (Within IGPG)
The
Promotional Team is a team of experts in the field of advertising,
marketing, sales and SEO marketing. This group's sole responsibility
is the promotion and advertising of the Resource Based Economy
Foundation and later, it's sponsors. The main contact point for this
group is DharmaOKC@rbefoundation.com
Software
Development Group:
This
group programs and designs the Venux Operating System and the RBEF
Site. They allow all the users to have the ability to do particular
things such as writing documents, viewing documentaries, and so much
more from the back-end. If you are a web designer or programmer,
please read the recommendations below before contacting
venux@rbefoundation.com
We are also getting the
Business Section that deals with the financial sector of RBEF, and
the Research Section, up and running, and possibly will be completely
functional by the time you are done reading and getting cozy in RBEF.
Recommendations
If
you are a good talker and a very calm person, I recommend you talk to
steve.sojo@rbefoundation.com
and
be involved in the Global Cooperation Group.
If
you are skilled in web design (PHP, CSS) with skills in MySQL and/or
programming code in Pascal, I recommend you talk to Venux at
venux@rbefoundation.com
If
you are a highly skilled at data distribution and organization, along
with being good at constantly updating documents (hardware knowledge
is a plus) please contact Joshua Strobl @
joshstrobl@rbefoundation.com
Member & Visitor
Density Map
To
allow users to be able to see where others are, how dense member
population in regions and nations is, a Member Density Map has been
developed and will be in a “developmentâ€ン
phase
for a while. You may view this cool map by going to
http://rbefoundation.com/memberlist.php?mode=group&g=5
The Grid
The Grid
is a tool for the Global Cooperation Group to organize, filter and
search through a module displaying a list of organizations ranging
from environmental to political. You can find this module at the top
of the Global
Cooperation Group forum area.
City Chapter Guide
City Chapter Guide is
a guide regarding the establishment process and the system used in a
local RBE chapter can be found by going to
http://www.rbefoundation.com/grouptopic.php?f=11&t=476&p=2680#p2680
Open Source Guide
Open Source Guide is
a guide to finding free, open source software for Windows, Mac and
Linux operating systems. RBEF, and its affiliate Global Community
Portal, finds this important, to spread the love of software freedom.
So an open source guide has been developed. This guide offers the
following:
A thorough understanding
of what open source means
A quick explanation of
open source licenses such as GNU v3.0, BSD and other licenses
List of open source
software for Windows, Linux, Mac and will, in the future, offer
software downloads for FreeBSD and Sun Solaris. Way down the line,
this guide will function as an XML software for the Venux operating
system in which it will offer many handy modules, editing clients,
etc all from the web.
List of Free
Distributions Downloads, all for free and quick downloads. The
downloads are .iso images, which you can burn onto a DVD and install
on your computer.
To
view this open source guide, visit Global Community Portal at
http://globalcommunityportal.com/gcp/opensource ,
free software downloads at
http://globalcommunityportal.com/gcp/software
and to download free distributions such as FreeBSD, Open Solaris and
a countless amount of Linux distros, go to
http://globalcommunityportal.com/gcp/distros
.
Documentaries
Here
at the Resource Based Economy Foundation, we have a huge belief in
the constant flow of knowledge and information. We created the
documentaries section so you can have some of the best documentaries
for you to watch for free, at the click of a button. With a
constantly expanding collection of documentaries, RBEF's
Documentaries page is something you should check out, which you can
by going to http://rbefoundation.com/documentaries.php
As the knowledge of what a
RBE is and as the RBEF grows, many groups feel that it would be a
good idea to work, merge or be affiliated with the Resource Based
Economy Foundation. The premise behind this is not for advertising
purposes, but because those groups have some goal in mind that RBEF
and the group shares and/or the group feels that being a branch of
the RBEF would allow more members to join and help spread whatever
the groups goals are.
The
following groups are affiliated with the Resource Based Economy
Foundation:
Atlas
Initiative Group:
The
mission of the Atlas Initiative Group (Atlas City Project) is to
design, plan and build Atlas City in America, providing a peaceful
transition model from a monetary based system economy to a resource
based system economy demonstrated through an advanced city which
will maximize automation and provide the highest standard of living
for its participants.
Global
Community Portal:
Global
Community Portal hosts the open source page, download center, and is
even planning on the release of a completely Venux-based Internet
Service with a Venux laptop prototype to be released early summer of
2010.
Registration
of Resources
To
help you spread knowledge that should be known by everyone, this
guide will give you a pathway to establishing your information,
ideas, and so much more. Diversity in information is key, we do not
focus on information just regarding a RBE, however that is good. When
you want to register your resources and thoroughly explain your
ideas, you should be able to.
There
are two ways to register your resources, through multiple resources:
1.
Resource Based Economy Foundation
Currently,
RBEF is limited to the resources you are able to “establishâ€ン.
For instance, if you made a video, posted it on Youtube, you are
able to copy and paste the youtube URL into a documentaries post,
using the format presented here .
Also, you have the ability to upload documents ranging from word and
powerpoints to excel and pictures. However, unless you want to have
a multi-page forum post regarding your idea, I do not recommend it,
but as far as video, document posting, and short ideas goes, its
great!
2.
Global Community Portal
When
using Global Community Portal, you have the capability of making a
whole, miniature website for your idea, written in HTML, and/or basic
text. Using the wikipage structure that GCP offers, its easy to write
a wikipage and simply post the link inside the categories area, by
editing the category you want with your link in it! Or, you can
contact the site manager, and he will post it in a category for you,
so your idea can get out fast and simple.
You
have the capabilities of posting videos via a registered FTP account,
share them with your friends and even watch them on RBEF. You can do
this by clicking here
and also reading the README.txt
file.
Both
sites are amazing for registering your resources, if you have any
further questions regarding this subject however, you can gladly
contact Joshua Strobl at joshstrobl@rbefoundation.com
3.
Atlas Initiative
The Atlas Initiative is
creating a manual that all
topics from the actual creation of the city (Atlas City), to the
behavior of it's inhabitants, to the advanced technology that is
contained within it. This manual is editable only by people who
already have a grasp of the mindset required to work on this project.
