<span style="color:red">Page under active editing 3/17

=What is It?=
OSE Linux is a freely downloadable operating system that contains all software that is used regularly at OSE. It is run as a [[Live USB]] without the user having to modify or upset their usual operating system in any way whatsoever.

This addresses the tens of hours that it would potentially take to download and configure all the software and libraries in common use by OSE. Instead, a single install, taking under half hour of dedicated user time after download, is sufficient to download the entire operating system.

It is a good practice for [[OSE Developers]] to download and use the system to avoid software malfunction, improper settings, and in general the time it takes to download or install various software and its extensions, such as additional workbenches in FreeCAD, browser plugins, etc. OSE uses only open source software to produce all of its work product to facilitate interoperability with a large global team of developers.

OSE Linux can be used by downloading the ISO, and creating a bootable USB stick. Instead of using one's regular operating system, one can choose - upon startup - to run the OSE Linux operating system from a USB stick.

== TO USE the OSE LInux ISO yourself, please skip down the page to the TESTING Section, HOWTO Documents: ==
This How To Create the ISO section is for developers that are working on creating and improving the ISO itself.<br />
'''End users should either follow the Linux Users or Windows Users HOWTO''' as seen in the Testing section of this page.

Step 1: Download the Ubuntu iso to customize. Remember the directory where it is saved, because we would need to move it later.

Where do I go to download ubuntu.iso? I originally use a USB drive to install Ubuntu 14 onto my computer (recently ran the upgrade to get version 16). The ISO image is on that USB drive?

=Testing=

We are documenting which systems work successfully for Live boot and/or install of the OSE Linux ISO.

Please document 3 things:
#Version of the OSE Linux you are trying to boot and/or install - date or link to the download from above. Note that new versions will be published quarterly. It is impotant to keep notes on the specific version that you are using so there is no confusion on which OSE Linux versions are successful
#Hardware you are using, such as Dell Precision M6500 Laptop
#Operating system that you are using on your hardware - such as Ubuntu 16.04.

To document this for your system, please go to See [[ISO to USB Install Notes]].

=HowTo Document for Linux Users=

Objective: A bootable USB stick that provides the OSE Live desktop, and will run all the OSE programs without touching any existing locally installed OS on the computer.
It's a way to test, and use, the OSE programs (3D design, 2D design, video capture and edit, resource management) and not disturb the current computer setup.

1. Download the ISO (See above for current ISO URL) <br />
2. Burn ISO to USB<br />
3. Boot your computer with the USB <br />
a. have you set the BIOS to boot USB ?<br />
b. do you know the keystroke for Boot Menu on your computer ? (ESC) or (F8) or (F12), etc<br />

=OSE Linux Assists in Providing Technical Support=
Technical support is a service of huge importance to the OSE community. As a [[Distributive Enterprise]], OSE is interested in self-maintaining technical support base that can scale to millions of users.

To achieve this, part of our strategy is to utilize OSE Linux as an essential aspect of OSE's technical support. This is a managed distribution that works out all software-related issues for the OSE community - by providing a Linux distribution that just works.

Software-related issues stand in the way of seamless, distributed, open source collaboration. Overall, OSE Linux saves the OSE developer/user community thousands to millions of hours of total time that would otherwise be spent with people downloading software and making it work. To address this issue, OSE is proposing that any OSE user or developer obtains a copy of OSE Linux. This allows for a completely uniform way to eliminate all software related issues: improper installs, drivers, libraries, package conflicts, bad settings, security issues, software crashes, updates, and any other software issues. This is done by installing and using an entire OSE operating system, with all software prepared. The goal is to produce a stable and widely accessible system that can be run from a USB or that can be installed as a [[Multi-Boot System]]. The release schedule for updates will be quarterly.

=Requirements=
*Follows Best Practices for creating a Linux distribution
*Download statistics are tracked - number vs. Time, and are displayed via a wiki script
*Single configuration with all of OSE-critical software
*Contains libraries - such as tractor design in FreeCAD, etc.
*Has a Team Charter for long term support
*Clear hosting strategy and admin
*Donation option with hosting transparency page of cost and uptime, and user statistics
*Download requires an email for future communications
*Clear OSE Social Contract - contract with the OSS/H community to keep this distribution open source for ever
*Clear contributor agreement
*Clear repositories for design - distributed and pulled into the OSE distribution as current working design libraries.

Technical support is a service of huge importance to the OSE community. As a [[Distributive Enterprise]], OSE is interested in self-maintaining technical support base that can scale to millions of users.

To achieve this, part of our strategy is to utilize OSE Linux as an essential aspect of OSE's technical support. This is a managed distribution that works out all software-related issues for the OSE community - by providing a Linux distribution that just works.

Software-related issues stand in the way of seamless, distributed, open source collaboration. Overall, OSE Linux saves the OSE developer/user community thousands to millions of hours of total time that would otherwise be spent with people downloading software and making it work. To address this issue, OSE is proposing that any OSE user or developer obtains a copy of OSE Linux. This allows for a completely uniform way to eliminate all software related issues: improper installs, drivers, libraries, package conflicts, bad settings, security issues, software crashes, updates, and any other software issues. This is done by installing and using an entire OSE operating system, with all software prepared. The goal is to produce a stable and widely accessible system that can be run from a USB or that can be installed as a [[Multi-Boot System]]. The release schedule for updates will be quarterly.

OSE Linux - 2.0 version from 2020

2017-06-15T16:39:01Z

Donney Clark: /* What is It? */

<span style="color:red">Page under active editing 3/17

=What is It?=
OSE Linux is a freely downloadable operating system that contains all software that is used regularly at OSE. It is run as a [[Live USB]] without the user having to modify or upset their usual operating system in any way whatsoever.

This addresses the tens of hours that it would potentially take to download and configure all the software and libraries in common use by OSE. Instead, a single install, taking under half hour of dedicated user time after download, is sufficient to download the entire operating system.

It is a good practice for [[OSE Developers]] to download and use the system to avoid software malfunction, improper settings, and in general the time it takes to download or install various software and its extensions, such as additional workbenches in FreeCAD, browser plugins, etc. OSE uses only open source software to produce all of its work product to facilitate interoperability with a large global team of developers.

OSE Linux can be used by downloading the ISO, and creating a bootable USB stick. Instead of using one's regular operating system, one can choose - upon startup - to run the OSE Linux operating system from a USB stick.

== TO USE the OSE LInux ISO yourself, please skip down the page to the TESTING Section, HOWTO Documents: ==

We are documenting which systems work successfully for Live boot and/or install of the OSE Linux ISO.

Please document 3 things:
#Version of the OSE Linux you are trying to boot and/or install - date or link to the download from above. Note that new versions will be published quarterly. It is impotant to keep notes on the specific version that you are using so there is no confusion on which OSE Linux versions are successful
#Hardware you are using, such as Dell Precision M6500 Laptop
#Operating system that you are using on your hardware - such as Ubuntu 16.04.

To document this for your system, please go to See [[ISO to USB Install Notes]].

=HowTo Document for Linux Users=

Objective: A bootable USB stick that provides the OSE Live desktop, and will run all the OSE programs without touching any existing locally installed OS on the computer.
It's a way to test, and use, the OSE programs (3D design, 2D design, video capture and edit, resource management) and not disturb the current computer setup.

1. Download the ISO (See above for current ISO URL) <br />
2. Burn ISO to USB<br />
3. Boot your computer with the USB <br />
a. have you set the BIOS to boot USB ?<br />
b. do you know the keystroke for Boot Menu on your computer ? (ESC) or (F8) or (F12), etc<br />

To achieve this, part of our strategy is to utilize OSE Linux as an essential aspect of OSE's technical support. This is a managed distribution that works out all software-related issues for the OSE community - by providing a Linux distribution that just works.

Software-related issues stand in the way of seamless, distributed, open source collaboration. Overall, OSE Linux saves the OSE developer/user community thousands to millions of hours of total time that would otherwise be spent with people downloading software and making it work. To address this issue, OSE is proposing that any OSE user or developer obtains a copy of OSE Linux. This allows for a completely uniform way to eliminate all software related issues: improper installs, drivers, libraries, package conflicts, bad settings, security issues, software crashes, updates, and any other software issues. This is done by installing and using an entire OSE operating system, with all software prepared. The goal is to produce a stable and widely accessible system that can be run from a USB or that can be installed as a [[Multi-Boot System]]. The release schedule for updates will be quarterly.

OSE Linux - 2.0 version from 2020

2017-06-15T16:37:25Z

Donney Clark: /* How to Create the ISO on an Existing Ubuntu System (For developers - This is not the end-user HowTo) */

<span style="color:red">Page under active editing 3/17

=What is It?=
OSE Linux is a freely downloadable operating system that contains all software that is used regularly at OSE. It is run as a [[Live USB]] without the user having to modify or upset their usual operating system in any way whatsoever.

This addresses the tens of hours that it would potentially take to download and configure all the software and libraries in common use by OSE. Instead, a single install, taking under half hour of dedicated user time after download, is sufficient to download the entire operating system.

It is a good practice for [[OSE Developers]] to download and use the system to avoid software malfunction, improper settings, and in general the time it takes to download or install various software and its extensions, such as additional workbenches in FreeCAD, browser plugins, etc. OSE uses only open source software to produce all of its work product to facilitate interoperability with a large global team of developers.

OSE Linux can be used by downloading the ISO, and creating a bootable USB stick. Instead of using one's regular operating system, one can choose - upon startup - to run the OSE Linux operating system from a USB stick.

OSE Linux - 2.0 version from 2020

2017-06-15T16:35:13Z

Donney Clark: /* How to Create the ISO on an Existing Ubuntu System (For developers - This is not the end-user HowTo) */

<span style="color:red">Page under active editing 3/17

=What is It?=
OSE Linux is a freely downloadable operating system that contains all software that is used regularly at OSE. It is run as a [[Live USB]] without the user having to modify or upset their usual operating system in any way whatsoever.

This addresses the tens of hours that it would potentially take to download and configure all the software and libraries in common use by OSE. Instead, a single install, taking under half hour of dedicated user time after download, is sufficient to download the entire operating system.

It is a good practice for [[OSE Developers]] to download and use the system to avoid software malfunction, improper settings, and in general the time it takes to download or install various software and its extensions, such as additional workbenches in FreeCAD, browser plugins, etc. OSE uses only open source software to produce all of its work product to facilitate interoperability with a large global team of developers.

OSE Linux can be used by downloading the ISO, and creating a bootable USB stick. Instead of using one's regular operating system, one can choose - upon startup - to run the OSE Linux operating system from a USB stick.

== TO USE the OSE LInux ISO yourself, please skip down the page to the TESTING Section, HOWTO Documents: ==
This How To Create the ISO section is for developers that are working on creating and improving the ISO itself.<br />
'''End users should either follow the Linux Users or Windows Users HOWTO''' as seen in the Testing section of this page.

==Download Tracking==
Need to track the number of downloads just like Arduino does - see this nice example:

[[File:downloadtracking.jpg|800px]]

Once created, this data should be posted at the [[OSE Stats]] Page.

=Testing=

We are documenting which systems work successfully for Live boot and/or install of the OSE Linux ISO.

Please document 3 things:
#Version of the OSE Linux you are trying to boot and/or install - date or link to the download from above. Note that new versions will be published quarterly. It is impotant to keep notes on the specific version that you are using so there is no confusion on which OSE Linux versions are successful
#Hardware you are using, such as Dell Precision M6500 Laptop
#Operating system that you are using on your hardware - such as Ubuntu 16.04.

To document this for your system, please go to See [[ISO to USB Install Notes]].

=HowTo Document for Linux Users=

Objective: A bootable USB stick that provides the OSE Live desktop, and will run all the OSE programs without touching any existing locally installed OS on the computer.
It's a way to test, and use, the OSE programs (3D design, 2D design, video capture and edit, resource management) and not disturb the current computer setup.

1. Download the ISO (See above for current ISO URL) <br />
2. Burn ISO to USB<br />
3. Boot your computer with the USB <br />
a. have you set the BIOS to boot USB ?<br />
b. do you know the keystroke for Boot Menu on your computer ? (ESC) or (F8) or (F12), etc<br />
<br />

=OSE Linux Assists in Providing Technical Support=
Technical support is a service of huge importance to the OSE community. As a [[Distributive Enterprise]], OSE is interested in self-maintaining technical support base that can scale to millions of users.

To achieve this, part of our strategy is to utilize OSE Linux as an essential aspect of OSE's technical support. This is a managed distribution that works out all software-related issues for the OSE community - by providing a Linux distribution that just works.

Software-related issues stand in the way of seamless, distributed, open source collaboration. Overall, OSE Linux saves the OSE developer/user community thousands to millions of hours of total time that would otherwise be spent with people downloading software and making it work. To address this issue, OSE is proposing that any OSE user or developer obtains a copy of OSE Linux. This allows for a completely uniform way to eliminate all software related issues: improper installs, drivers, libraries, package conflicts, bad settings, security issues, software crashes, updates, and any other software issues. This is done by installing and using an entire OSE operating system, with all software prepared. The goal is to produce a stable and widely accessible system that can be run from a USB or that can be installed as a [[Multi-Boot System]]. The release schedule for updates will be quarterly.

Rainwater Catchment

2017-04-21T14:18:03Z

Donney Clark: /* Catchment Calculation */

*Goals - gutters, first flush filter, etc.

<html><iframe src="https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1Q9MLmMoViFO3QLQaqdS3nPc5wcm5X3fRIk84vS-CzNM/embed?start=false&loop=false&delayms=3000" frameborder="0" width="600" height="400" allowfullscreen="true" mozallowfullscreen="true" webkitallowfullscreen="true"></iframe></html>

[https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1Q9MLmMoViFO3QLQaqdS3nPc5wcm5X3fRIk84vS-CzNM/edit#slide=id.g1861bf60d5_0_0 edit]

==Catchment Calculation==

Harvested water (gallons) = catchment area (square feet) [roof footprint] x rainfall depth (inches) x 0.623 [conversion factor]

[one gallon equals 231 cubic inches; one square foot equals 144 square inches]

Harvested water (liters) = catchment area (square meters) [roof footprint] x rainfall depth (millimeters)

[one liter equals 1000 cubic centimeters; one square meter equals 10000 square centimeters; one centimeter equals 10 millimeters]

https://www.watercache.com/resources/rainwater-collection-calculator

The above formula can be used to calculate the volume size required to store water from a known size of roof, or to calculate the roof size required to supply a known demand of water usage. Required volume size of water storage maybe should be equal to harvested water during peak rainfall minus average water usage, per week or month.

==Water Usage==

In Missouri, the average family's indoor water usage is about 50 gallons per person per day. Flushing the toilet accounts for about 42 percent of the total, the highest percent of indoor water usage. (There are several solutions to mitigate or eliminate freshwater usage for the flushing of toilets.)

https://energy.mo.gov/energy/consumers/information-resources/water-usage

Nationally, outdoor water use accounts for 30 percent of household use, yet that can be much higher in drier parts of the country and in more water-intensive landscapes. (There are several solutions to mitigate or eliminate freshwater usage for residential landscape irrigation.)

==Comparison of Biofuels and Feedstocks==

Best and worst biofuels: Biogas and biodiesel are really good. Butanol is better than ethanol, but ethanol is much more common.

Best and worst feedstocks: In the US, soybeans are the most common feedstock for producing biodiesel and corn is the most common for producing ethanol. In Brazil, sugarcane is the common feedstock for ethanol. Seeking out alternative feedstocks, such as algae, will help us move away from Food-vs-Fuel and other controversies.

Biofuels from cellulose is a great idea, but it is doubtful that cellulosic ethanol is cost effective.

[[File:WoodPellets01.jpg|500px|thumb|right|Wood pellets are the most common type of pellet fuel and are generally made from compacted sawdust and related industrial wastes from the milling of lumber, manufacture of wood products and furniture, and construction.]]

=Overview=
List of various biofuel technologies. (I consolidated "List" with the "Biofuels" list, and have made a list of just feedstocks and a list of processes. Also, I added propanol and butanol to the Biofuels list, and I put specific fuels under their type.)

==Biofuels==

*[[Biogas]]
[[Methane]]
*[[Fuel Alcohol]]
[[Methanol]]
[[Ethanol]]
Propanol (uncommon)
Butanol (uncommon)
*[[Biodiesel]]
[[Mycodiesel]]
*[[Bio-Oil / Diesel Mixture Fuels]]
*[[Jatrophas oil as direct diesel fuel substitute|Jatrophas oil]]

==Feedstocks==

*[[Biomass to Fuel]]
*[[Methane to methanol]]
*[[Ethanol from Sorghum]]
*Algae/Cyanobacteria
*[[Kenaf]]
*[[Hemp|Hemp oil]]
*Jatropha Oil

==Processes==

*Anaerobic Digestion for [[Biogas]]
*[[Fischer Tropsch]]
*[[Microbial Fuel Production]]

==Comparison of Biofuel Types and Feedstocks==

Best and worst biofuels: Biogas and biodiesel are really good. Butanol is better than ethanol, but ethanol is much more common.

Best and worst feedstocks: In the US, soybeans are the most common feedstock for producing biodiesel and corn is the most common for producing ethanol. In Brazil, sugarcane is the common feedstock for ethanol. Seeking out alternative feedstocks, such as algae, will help us move away from Food-vs-Fuel and other controversies.

==Product Ecology==
* [[Gasifier]]
* [[Pelletizer]]
* [[Steam Engine]]

Donney Clark: /* Concepts */

{{OrigLang}}

{{GVCS Header}}

=Intro=
{{RightTOC}}
A truck is a transportation machine that you can drive in order to move yourself, others, and stuff to wherever you can get with wheels. The difference between a truck and car is that trucks are stronger and have more dedicated space for stuff on the vehicle.

[[Image:Truck.png|400px]]

=Documentation=

If you're new to mechanical things, check out
[[Mechanical Intro]]

=Alternative Body Styles=

Depending on the function of the truck, it could have a smaller body style. (Unless, it is intended for hauling large amounts of agricultural goods.)
If a light duty vehicle is all that would be necessary in many situations, then a more efficient size might be better.

There are a couple examples of small body styles that are common to the rest of the world but not in North America. First is the coupé utility (basically the same as the Chevrolet El Camino), known as the Ute in Australia and New Zealand. Second the minitruck from Japan, as known as the Kei truck, which are being imported to the United States as light duty off-road vehicles in some rural areas. In both Australia and Japan, vehicles are right-hand-drive. Though, it might be legal to operate a RHD vehicle on US roadways, there is the issue of practicality.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ute_(vehicle)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kei_truck

A small modular design with standardized parts is probably more cost effective and still allows for vehicle type options.

Engines have a lot of moving parts that rub against each other and create friction. The friction generates a lot of heat. When plastics get hotter and hotter, they get softer and eventually melt. When metals get hot, they get softer, which accelerates wear, and if hot enough, metals melt too. So cooling the engine is important. The engine is essentially a complex hulk of metal, so pumping water through it will cool it down. But water boils and freezes too easily- if the water turns into a gas, then it loses a lot of cooling ability- in other cases, a lot of pressure (from gaseous expansion or ice formation) will crack and break the solid parts of the cooling system (and the engine). So adding substances (like antifreeze) keeps the coolant system working in hot and cold conditions.

Another way to solve the heat problem is to stop friction in the first place. Lubricants are substances that have very low coefficients of friction so they generate very little thermal energy when rubbed together. By applying lubricants to the moving parts of an engine, less heat will be generated.

Engines have a lot of moving parts that rub against each other and create friction. The friction generates a lot of heat. When plastics get hotter and hotter, they get softer and eventually melt. When metals get hot, they get softer, which accelerates wear, and if hot enough, metals melt too. So cooling the engine is important. The engine is essentially a complex hulk of metal, so pumping water through it will cool it down. But water boils and freezes too easily- if the water turns into a gas, then it loses a lot of cooling ability- in other cases, a lot of pressure (from gaseous expansion or ice formation) will crack and break the solid parts of the cooling system (and the engine). So adding substances (like antifreeze) keeps the coolant system working in hot and cold conditions.

Another way to solve the heat problem is to stop friction in the first place. Lubricants are substances that have very low coefficients of friction so they generate very little thermal energy when rubbed together. By applying lubricants to the moving parts of an engine, less heat will be generated.

September 27, 2016 - SME Search Design Sprint

2016-08-24T02:18:13Z

Donney Clark:

== August 27th? ==

'''To join this Design Sprint - see the [[Design Sprints]] page.'''

In this Design Sprint, we will identify as many Subject Matter Experts as possible starting on the list at the [[SMEs]] page. The most effective way to develop open source projects is via contributions from a vast array of experts who share their information freely - based on the public interest goals of Open Source Ecology.

Once we identify the experts, we contact them asking them to contibute. Typical constributions may be informative Webinars, or producing Design Guides, or producing other enabling information towards creating [[Distributive Enterprise]].

On the Design Sprint itself, we use a [https://www.youtube.com/embed/g1a1UEtINgg Google Doc]] as below, and the open to the public where many people contribute to produce results rapidly, collaboratively, in realtime - so that everyone participating sees clear, visible progress, and people can ask questions during the Design Sprint regarding what is useful and not. We will be using the Disqus at the [[SMEs]] wiki page to input our research results.

Does this make sense? Email me at marcin at opensourceecology dot org if you have questions.
