Dear Community,

Welcome to the next installment of OSEmail. The big picture of OSE for the last 4 years is: we have been focusing on technical developments towards the Open Source Blueprints for Civilization. We have shown 6 critical proofs of concept (see notes under Permaculuture Voices Slide 15, and pictures/comments in slides 17-54) - that make the notions of civilization startup realistic. Having gained much experience, while discovering how little we know - we are ready to regroup for the next phase. This is a focus on a strong community with evolved collaboration techniques. Our next milestone is achieving compression of design time 100-fold from 5 years to 2 weeks by using Extreme Swarming techniques. Critics say that only a small team can work efficiently, but we have inklings of evidence that extreme coordination of larger groups is feasible under specific conditions.

Development Method Refinement We are spending considerable effort revisiting how development takes place at OSE, to fill in several missing gaps. Facilitating documentation, enhancing our review process, enabling forking and merging, developing coherent working teams, and leadership training are some of our top priorities.

Community Development OSE has recruited our first Community Manager, Jonathan Kocurek. See the Development Team page to learn more about our team. We are developing cohesive Working Teams to facilitate development. We are working on continutity, effective role allocation and improved orientation materials. We are developing clear team governance - where Diana Leafe Christian (see Team page) has also joined the team as OSE's Project Consultant to help us with Dynamic Governance and other team-building issues.

Open Enterprise Development. See the Distributive Enterprise Blog Post for more thoughts on how to address the wealth distribution gap. This year, we would like to take the CEB Press, Aquaponics Greenhouse, and 3D Printer to full economic replicability. Our approach is documenting how one can go into production, and training entrepreneurs to run Extreme Manufacturing Workshops. We ran several workshops last year, and will continue with workshops this year.

Aquaponics Working Team - As a result of the Permaculture Voices Conference, where I gave a Keynote - we rounded up the Aquaponic Greenhouse Working team. Because this team has so much expertise, we believe we can design a 2000 square foot facility that can yield $100k per year via a Community Supported Agriculture model. Our new motto is 100k by 100k - can we disseminate 100,000 of these worldwide within 5 years of completing and documenting a working example? That would be $10B in the open source economy.
