In 2008, we introduced the concept of the Global Village Construction Set for 
the very first time in a public lecture at the University of Missouri, Columbia.
That was exactly 10 years ago on April 23, 2008 which can thus officially be 
called the the birth-date of the Global Village Construction Set (GVCS).  [image

lecture on our work on the wiki [2]. The presentation is still quite relevant it 
introduced the Open Source Technology Pattern Language [3]. We will evolve and 
revisit the Pattern Language in my new book, to be published this or next year. 
I am aiming to write book every decade on OSE progress. In the 2008 description,
we started with 40 technologies, and increased to 50 at the end of 2010. So for 
my TED Talk of 2011 [4] (there will be another), which at present stands at 1.53M
hits, the official count stood at 50 machines. By the way, the GVCS TED Talk is 
still in the top 10 all time TED Fellows Talks [5]. The other major change in the
Set was the injection of the House as one of the 50 machines as a house is a 
living machine. The house is crucial as it is the single largest line item in 
ones Cost of Living [6] for which reason we started the Open Building 
Institute [7] in 2016. At this point in 2018, we are more or less 33% done with 
the Global Village Construction Set:  [image 8] I think progress will accelerate 
as we start the Immersion Training Program [9] in 2018 to grow our team, begin 
running incentive challenges for crowd development, and as we regroup and 
reorganize with increased clarity after my book is published. We really learned 
a lot about the transition from project to product, or vision and execution so 
its time to get serious.
