Hello! 🖖🏼 💚

My name is Jacob Foster.

I spent a decade in the software industry, serving corporate interests as I gained skills, honed my talents, and burnt myself out. I "made it" to the "American Dream" that so many of us were sold. As it turns out, the constant consumption and need for more doesn't really make you happy after all. So I gave it up to figure out what actually makes me happy.

For me (and it seems many others), happiness is found living in community with loving people, and living in harmony with nature. So, that's what I'm building towards now.

I quit the corporate world a while ago, and have been doing private consulting to pay the bills while I build my family's Domestead. I'm getting a little closer to that dream every day.

Now I want to take my skills and talents as an engineer, and build something that resonates with that source of happiness. I want to build software that helps people build up their own self-sufficient chunk of earth. I want to build OpenEcoBuilder.

Your sponsorship will help me spend less time writing code that makes fat wallets fatter, and spend more time building a free and open source solution that will enable people to build their way out of the systems that drag them down.

Feel free to check out my website if you would like to get to know me a bit more.

Thank you!

This will cover all current living expenses and help fund the Domesteading project. Without having to do private consulting that lines the pocketbooks of the already-wealthy, I will be able to spend more time contributing to OpenSource projects that truly make the world a better place (starting with OpenEcoBuilder). Once the Domestead is built (and my living expenses are reduced), any overflow will go into my community, building a network of Regenerative EcoVillages.
