Development Spreadsheet Template

OSE uses Dozuki - see Dozuki - and the following template to document all of the deliverables of an engineering development process. We start with a breakdown of a machine by modules, and then we break each module into the following ~75 elements.

See also Setting_Up_Development_Spreadsheets for how to seed this documentation template in Dozuki for machines and modules.

Process Development

In 2013 we formulated the Development Board and have made small improvememnts in 2014. At the end of 2014, we are revisiting the Development Process:

Development Template Metrics

The Development Boards (Dev Boards) are OSE's documentation. This documentation involves a comprehensive template (Dev Template) of items necessary for the directed development of products and services.

OSE is currently using the Dev Boards on the development of OSE's technologies. OSE's focus is the 50 machines of the Global Village Construction Set (GVCS) . At the same time, OSE intends to develop a generalized platform applicable to the development of any goods, services, product systems, or Product Service Systems [ref].

Success of the Development Boards may be defined by their contribution to the open source economy:

1. How effectively the Dev Boards are getting completed. In other words, how effectively product are being developed
2. How effectively do the Dev Boards result in technology transfer. In other words, after the product development is complete, is the product being replicated and produced towards creating an ethical economy. (The term Ethical Economy must be defined). Is the know-how leading to economic activity?
3. How effectively are new tools and ecosystems being created for improving the effectiveness of product development using the Dev Boards
4. How much adoption is occurring by other people or projects adopting the OSE development techniques for developing their products? Are people using the Dev Board spreadsheets or the specific protocols in the Dev Board spreadsheets to develop their products in an open source context?
5. Speed of market saturation of a given field of productive endeavor

The last is the ultimate metric of success. It assumes a 'rational marketplace' where the greatest number of people benefit - a condition which may not be available in today's society. OSE's assumption is that there is potential of bypassing an irrational marketplace by inserting Meaning or Purpose (ethical principles) to attract ethical economic players who act to counterbalance centralized productive power. OSE's assumption is that if a particular economic route is beneficial to the largest number of people and environmentally sound, under the further ssumption of free enterprise – then it becomes the dominant form of enterprise.

Background R&D Process

Specification: swarmable

1. Propose backround Briefing, based on Wikipedia and basic internet search.
2. Search literature. Includes patents, scholarly articles, books. How to do a Literature Search.
3. Identify world leading experts, and contact them. Contact them strategically.
4. Submit OSE Requirement to the experts, soliciting feedback on a proposed pathway.
5. If SME is willing, contract them for development work.

Older Templates

• September, 2014
• January 2014 Development Template

Notes

• Note: this template should be updated to reflect Zachman framework of different collaboraborator views. For example - add Zachman framework for Legal- Standards/Codes/Legal/Regulatory/Compliance/ view.
• Add Email Signature / License to Legal.
• Add to Legal View - Open standards - collaborate with Respects Your Freedom, OSHWA certified, free cultural works, etc
• Add OSHW Shitlist to Communications View

Extended Template

• Need to refactor this into current version via Zachman Framework - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Av4ZjQn4DHJHdEZJT0dMTktQT3ljUnFrT0NENEZVUGc#gid=2
