Documentation is the heart of any open source project. Here is the first of a weekly video report to [[True Fans]] and Supporters.

Transcript:

Hello True Fans and supporters. First, I apologize for the documentation blackhole. over the last 4 months. We haven't been idle. And, I am promising to do a video update like this every Sunday.

We are just wrapping up our production run of 4 tractors, 4 CEB presses, 2 soil pulverizers, and 9 Power Cubes.

Right now we're now going the last mile towards the OSE Christmas Gift to the World – extensive field testing of our tractor, ceb press, power unit, soil pulverizer – in construction of a 5000 sq foot workshop and 10 living units - to address infrastructure needs at Factor e Farm. Plus, we are promising full documentation + full product release of these 4 machines.

Just for perspective – our growth is insane. We ran on $1.5k/month last year. Now we are $10k/month, with 400 True Fans providing a baseline budget, and rest is from production and donations.. We cleared $25k from our production run, which we burned immediately to buy more equipment like 3 welders, plus materials for 2 more tractors and 2 more CEB presses - which we will be using soon in construction.

How soon do we get to $20k/month? In 2 days if a $60k construction grant arrives, which we were told was already wired. How soon are we getting to $100k/month? In my mind, it's countdown to year-end 2012 and project completion – everyone thinks that is crazy – but we are just opensourcing existing machines – a process that lends itself to massive parallel development.

So what can you do? Show this video to your friends. Pick one of the 50 technologies – and help us with our core 3 deliverables: prototypes and their testing – documentation – and development of distributive enterprise. If you ever do money donations – we have the ability to receive tax-deductible contributions.

So True Fans and supporters – thanks for moving this work forward, and I will report back in one week.
