	'''Work Impact. Describe what outcomes - both measurable and qualitative - the Fellow will have achieved at the end of the fellowship. Please describe the plan for your organization to sustain and support the project outcomes after the fellowship. (Word Limit: 250)''' The intended outcome is for Open Source Ecology to stabilize as an organization - by structuring to the point that we qualify for multi-million dollar nonprofit budgets within 12 months. To support the project outcomes, we would have to recruit a full time Operations Manager, assuming that the rest of the core team (Product Lead, Technical Community Manager, and Documentation Manager) are in place. The outcomes include establishing clear and effective roles, clear communicationk, and effective operational protocols. This would manifest as our ability to scale to 4 prototypes being built per month with full quality control of resulting documentation - while engaging in some field testing of machines on site, and deploying pilot projects worldwide. Regarding the site - improvements would include stabilizing remaining infrastructures (water, electricity), and establishing sound erosion control and fertility building pracices, while building up waterworks for water retention.

	'''Work Environment. Briefly describe the work setting, including factors such as physical environment, organization size, level of interaction with others inside and outside the organization, team vs. individual work, and organizational culture. (Word Limit: 250) *''' The site is Factor e Farm, a 30 acre research and development campus of Open Source Ecology, located in a rural area 1 hour away from Kansas City, and 15 minutes away from the nearest big box store. The site will include our operations manager, executive director, community manager, and documentation manager. There may be other interns on site. The candidate may either live on campus, where we have a 4000 sf workshop and 3000 sf house. We are currently building separate staff housing, or the person may live in the local town 1 mile away. The nature of the role would be highly collaborative, where in one scenario - the candidate is responsible for large development teams - and inviting them either to an on-site, multi-day development event- or to a development session in a major urban center. The organizational culture is open, collaborative development, and it is a learning environment. This may be combined with contracting of other professionals required in the development process on an as-needed basis. This will really depend on the skill set and interests of the candidate.
