	OSE does collaborative design - for a transparent and inclusive economy of abundance. We talked about creating a scalable platform for open source product development since 2008 - when we first formulated the [[Global Village Construction Set]] (GVCS) concept. We've been prototyping hundreds of GVCS machines over the last decade, but did little on productization and financial feedback loops. We watched as the project began to grow on its own (that is a line from my [[TED Talk]], but we plateaued before widespread replication. At the same time, we developed our [[Extreme Manufacturing Workshop]] model for crowd builds. As such, we learned how to build machines - in One Day - or houses in a few days. This has become our main revenue ~~stream~~ since our [[Shuttleworth Foundation]] funding dried up by 2014. We never developed kits or products for ~~a continuous revenue stream~~ - it has been more ad hoc as we kept on learning. We are continuing the [[Extreme Builds]], such as with the [[CEB Microhouse Build in Belize]]. We are now developing kits as a revenue stream. Along the lines of smaller desktop microfactory tools, we began to run STEAM Camps - with our first one [https://www.opensourceecology.org/open-source-microfactory-stem-camp/ 2 months ago]. The STEAM Camps teach collaborative literacy applied to open source product development, where each Camp builds upon the former to develop real products.

	The invitation is open, but it's not free lunch. The requirement is that you must show a track record of existing open development with some product published public venue, under an [[OSI]] or [[OSHWA]]-compliant license. You will have to produce curriculum and prototypes, and you will have to learn with the other instructors to teach the 9 day Camp. A certain skill level is required, but the biggest requirement is your open culture, willingness to learn rapidly from others, and ability to work together.

But we would need to produce 10x fewer drills, as the open source version would last 10x longer. That gets us down to 10M drills per year. 10,000 producers would need to produce 1000 drills each per year to meet this quota.
