Sustainable development in absolute form

Forward Creating is a platform for publishing and promoting contemporary tools, products, services, concept or ideas that contribute towards sustainable future

What Do You Want To Sustain?

To answer this question, we need to answer another one, "How feasible is the sustainability of the system embedded into one that itself in its foundation is not?" If we are to assume that that is likely unattainable then the sustainability of any system turns towards evolving the parent one into a more efficient version. This principle is to be applied to the entire hierarchy. By evolving parent one we achieve the possibility for the child one, the one that lies atop of the aforementioned one, to evolve further too. This goes against the traditional approach that we tackle the problem of one as in existing in isolation of the influences of others.

What dose Sustainable development in absolute form/domain means?

MAIN FOCUS - Design of concepts or ideas, base on underlining principles of absolute sustainability as its core objective. Flexibility, reusability, modularity, recyclability. Open source and public domain. Voluntary cooperative participation. Stride towards a zero new resources extraction

What Does Sustainability Mean?

Sustainability is simply the ability to sustain something. To sustain something, we must prolong it indefinitely, which begs the obvious question: what is it that we want to sustain? Do we want to sustain our consumer lifestyle, our growth-based economic system, or our control over other nations’ resources? Sustainability, therefore, is the discussion around our ability to sustain something given the resources we have available.

Open Source

Open source is a term that originally referred to open source software (OSS). Open source software is code that is designed to be publicly accessible—anyone can see, modify, and distribute the code as they see fit. Open source software is developed in a decentralized and collaborative way, relying on peer review and community production. Open source software is often cheaper, more flexible, and has more longevity than its proprietary peers because it is developed by communities rather than a single author or company. Open source has become a movement and a way of working that reaches beyond software production. The open source movement uses the values and decentralized production model of open source software to find new ways to solve problems in their communities and industries. - redhat.com

Benefits of OPEN SOURCE (FOSS)?

IS CROWD-SOURCED Cost, flexibility, freedom, security, and accountability – that are unsurpassed by proprietary solutions. OS also has long-term viability and is always on the cutting-edge of technology. It’s created and supported by a worldwide community of organizations and individuals, many of whom also live by open source values like collaboration and volunteerism. Flexibility and freedom. Unlike closed proprietary solutions, OSS can be altered and extended by any developer familiar with the source code. This grants organizations freedom from -vendor lock-in- and assures long-term viability. A widely adopted OS project is often supported by hundreds or thousands of capable contributors. Paradigm Shift Technologies and architectures sometimes grow stagnant, and open source projects with fresh thinking can drive sea change. Because when technologies are released as open source, the entire ecosystem is able to move forward together, rather than just a ‘nearby’ domain and its users.

How much the open soure aproch ussualy costs?

CostThe vast majority of OS is freely distributed. But OSS is said to be -free as in kittens- and not -free as in beer- – it requires maintenance, configuration, and ongoing support. The trade-off is flexibility and freedom. Unlike closed proprietary solutions,

What valus are compatible with open source?

STRONG VALUES And more often than not, OSS shops and developers hold similar values. In all aspects of life, they are advocates for more community participation, collaboration, and volunteerism. They believe in working together to build free, high-quality products that are accessible to for-profit and nonprofit organizations alike. This belief underlines the mission of the best OSS shops and developers. It pushes them to build new features and contribute these features back to the community. As a direct result, popular OS projects are always on the cutting-edge of technology. SUPPORTED BY A COMMUNITYThese same development shops are constantly reviewing the OSS code they support, as are thousands of independent developers working on the project worldwide. The result is a vast peer-review process that ensures security and accountability. Security holes are found and fixed quickly. While anyone can research shops and developers based on the quality of code they write.

Donatioware

Donationware is a product that is offered to the public for free, along with requests for optional donations. Donationware is commonly considered a type of freeware because users can obtain the full product without paying for a license. One way to think about donationware is that a developer can operate on a lean business model. Donationware can also be a way to promote a particular design philosophy that could be called collaborative.

Donationware as a way to promote a particular design philosophy

Donationware can also be a way to promote a particular design philosophy in IT that could be called collaborative. One example is the Ubuntu Linux product offered by Canonical. The idea is that while users often get involved in the development of software through testing, providing input, or otherwise interacting with software products, they can also assist by effectively crowdfunding a new software product or version. ref./source techopedia.com So it goes with the positive quality of giving credit to others when it is certainly due. Whether it is by the laws of the land, the owner’s right, or because you appreciate it dignifies the person/organization. It makes us all better humans when we are willing and able to recognize the work of others. Yes, continue giving credit where it is certainly due. ref./source minds.com

Bigger picture of the Donationware concept?

The idea behind the Donationware system, other than the wish to allow the software accessible to all, is also to create a new economic system that gives the responsibility to the user. Therefore, he can choose to set his own estimated license price according to his means, for the service gained, and to his wish to support our Research and Development team. He can do this as many times as he wishes. Some users even make a fixed monthly donation, as though it was a SAAS license. ref./source donationcoder.com

Self Sufficient

Self-sufficiency is the state of not requiring any aid, support, or interaction for survival; it is a type of personal or collective autonomy. On a personal scale, a totally self-sufficient individual that does not heavily relay on contemporary systems for common life activities. Without a self sufficient individual, there is not a much chance for a sustainable world in a long run.

Interested in Open Source tools?

Open source (FOSS) DIGITAL TOOLS AND SOLUTIONS. Why is this important one might ask... Well, the proliferation of future ideas requires better tools, tools developed around: open source, or published in the public domain, accessible to as many as possible and ethical.
