Description of me and of my life project

Hello. My name is Quiliro Ordonez. I am a freedom activist and a nature activist born in Quito and a citizen of the World. I defend the right of citizens of all nations equally (including those citizens that cannot speak) from the power of governments or corporations.

Mision, Vision and Values

Mision (Who I am):

Mi kaj mia hundo

I consider myself as an explorer of the environment and of my own existence (as was Alexander Von Humboldt). My quest is to evaluate the sustainability of my way of life. I put great effort to develop new procedures for making eco-social sustainability possible (where it is) and to eliminate procedures (where it is not possible). I use exclusively free software. I am selecting only software that is included in the FSF Free Software Directory for doing the FabAcademy assignments.

In 2009 I was invited as a member of the Board of the Free Software Foundation Latin America. I am still there now (2018 March). And I plan to stay as long as it is an organization built upon consensus.

I believe that the power should be by the people, for the people and from the people (and other living things). The only way I see this is possible is when the people stop supporting commerce, sale of their own labor and delegation of power. Randy-randy, sharing reciprocally in kichwa, is the method I have chosen. Perhaps it is Uthopia. But it is nice to work for the better instead of conforming to other peoples' World plan.

Vision (Who I want to be):

I am striving to be a responsible human being. I try to be responsible for the personal, local and global consequences of what I do. I proceed in such a way that I intend to live together in pacific coexistence with the environment (natural and social ecosystems) and I repair whatever harm I may cause.

Values (Foundational principles):

My story

Birdo verda

It all started as a dream for me; a dream of Freedom, Equility and Solidarity. I consider myself an Anarchist.

Only upon these three principles can a healthy society stand.

Achievements

Several kilometerstones (pun on milestone's non-internationalism) have marked the steps of a journey of the quest for autonomy.

Libre Software

I helped start the free software movement in cooperation of a handful of activists with the mentoring of the Free Software Foundation in Ecuador. With the guidance of several libre software activists, I learned what freedom means and I understood that Linux was not really libre software. Richard Stallman became a very close collaborator for that objective. We have had the opportunity to host him several times as a speaker. I have helped organize and accompanied him in his conferences throughout Ecuador. He even had an interview with President Correa on 2006. Because of that interview the National Government decided to make Libre Software a national policy.

Biking

I cooperated with the first bicycle route in Ecuador. I volunteered several years in the organization that promoted it and I am an active biker.

Ecology

I have implemented several measures in my own life to reduce, recycle, reuse and repotentiate in order to make the production and consumption cycle a sustainable one. I am a long way from not contaminating. But I:

Austerity

I consider money and power enslave and divide people. So I have made a personal journey into freeing myself of money. The quest for money makes people do what they loathe and the act of purchasing becomes a master's role. I wish not to be a master or a slave. So I manage to live with only $500 per month (and reducing). I can do this because I have found a home with a very cheap rent, do not have a cell phone or internet connection. I try to avoid expenditures by setting priorities for the money I have. Since I think that the money I have is the initial investment for my autonomy project, that is my main motivation to reduce expenditures. My aspiration is to be moneyless with all my physical needs covered by 2025.

Water elevation

I have constructed a water pump that elevates water at 10 meters (projected to 30 meters) with just a 0.7 meter dam. It works with no electricity or fuel.

Currently I am developing a water pump that uses no moving parts and has the same specifications of the previous model.

Autonomous Community Project

General Autonomous Community Project Plan

We will construct an autonomous community in production and consumtion of products and services of self-use in order to avoid dependence upon masters and to avoid exploitation.
