	How do we apply the analogue of Grameen to OSE? I'm impressed with the stated mission of providing 'financial independence' via entrepreneurship. I think we can do even better than 'loans' if we provide 'loans' with enterprise training. Here is where [[Open Source Product Development]] comes in: imagine a repository of high value things that can be produced in an [[Open Source Microfactory]]: car, cordless drill, tractor, 3d printer, house. Or, common appliances and electronics made with [[3D Printer]], [[CNC Circuit Mill]], [[Open Source Multimachine]], [[Open Source Pick and Place Machine]], [[Open Source Welder]], [[Open Source Water Jet Cutter]]. Etc. A critical core of open source machines that can make anything. Or, as simple as with 3D Printer, and [[Metal-Plastic Composites]], and [[CNC Circuit Mill]] to make many electronics including small appliances, small hand tools. These enterprises can be replicated widely as [[Home-Scale Enterprise]] a la Grameen Bank of Bangladesh, or the enterprise can take the form of an open source microfactory - like the open source version of [[Tech Shop]]. Or the vision of the [[Fab City]]. The concept of industrial productivity on a small scale with open source toolchains and designs can be the translation of the Grameen model to a 'financial independence' model via a productive enterprise ecosystem that collaborates globally. And Amazon and Walmart will be replaced in the future by corresponding facilities of local production in a post-scarcity economy. It ~~would~~ be worthwhile to organize a future [[X-Prize]] to deliver on the full version of the Open Source Microfactory.		How do we apply the analogue of Grameen to OSE?

			From Guidelines -

			Today, Grameen Bank is the largest bank in Bangladesh. It serves more than 8.3 million members, 98%
			of them women. All entered the Bank practically landless and asset-less, and with income well below
			the poverty line. One of the Bank’s most noteworthy aspects is its ownership structure: Borrowers
			own 95% of the bank, with the government holding the remaining 5%. Each member of Grameen is
			required to buy at least 1 share. The Bank’s 24,000 employees provide services across more than 95% of
			the national territory, in about 81,000 villages, through more than 2,500 branch offices.
