	We have shown several proofs of concept. These indicate that this model can scale to trillions of dollars of economic activity worldwide - as the value of the goods and services that can be produced by this model span much of the global manufacturing effort (all of industry is $23 trillion according to Wikipedia). The question is, are people willing to build things themselves , instead of having those products built by large remote factories? Our unambiguous answer is YES - and according to economic trends - this is consistent with the emergence of the Experience Economy as the sequel to today's Information Economy. To date, we have seen these data points: (1) 3D printer - $3600 revenue from a 1-day event - from tuition (the cost above the bill of materials) as 12 people build their own 3D printers. (2) CEB press - $10k from a 3 day build, $5k from product sale, and $5k from tuition (17 people at $300 each). (3) House + Aquaponic Greenhouse - $25k per 5 day build event, from tuition. If done for a client who pays all costs, this is revenue that OSE receives.		We have shown several proofs of concept.

	The main challenge is introducing financial feedback loops that fund future development.

The ability to bootstrap a project - and make it grow - is proof that something is truly beneficial and can survive on its own merit. But bootsrapped growth has been a challenge. While OSE headquarters is continuing to push bold ideas and prototypes, and while hundreds of OSE machines have been built around the world (see [[Prototypes Built and Cost]] - we are not aware of anyone outside of the OSE headquarters who is making a full time living based on OSE technology.

For this reason, 2017 has marked a transition to enterprise training as the way to grow OSE - lowering the barriers to entry to enterprises based on the OSE tools. In 2018, we are offering the first ever immersion program geared specifically at those people who would like to do open source development for a living - full time and consistent with their ideals.

	==Do you intend to continue OSE as a volunteer effort?==		==Do you intend to continue OSE as a volunteer effort?==
	Yes, any world-changing work must be voluntary, as you can not 'buy the revolution.' However, that does not imply that people shouldn't get paid ~~for their work~~. The question is how people are paid. OSE's paradigm is that we keep our staff to a minimum - but develop tremendous world impact by training entrepreneurs who produce real goods and services - for pay. Without financial feedback loops, an effort remains at the hobby level. Linux was not started by hobbyists - it was started by people who quickly converted open source software to large revenue streams, to the point of about $600B in the current economy. So remember: voluntary work and paid work are not opposites of each other: voluntary should refer to the fact that people are pursuing something based on their desire for [[Self-Determination]] - not because they need to make a living. Being paid for such voluntary work is a mark of the open source economy.		Yes, any world-changing work must be voluntary, as you can not 'buy the revolution.'
