• Jitsi Video Bridge - thousands of streams are possible from a single server. https://jitsi.org/jitsi-videobridge/
• Notes to Tyler Vega by email - Some requirements are standard product development protocol (we have it), scalable platform (we use Mediawiki), design repo (mediawiki + Gitlab/Hub), communications, distillation (upvoting, we don't have it), and a modular architecture (we are strong on this). Discussion such as FB or Slack help. Mass conferencing is also required (Zoom won't do, probably Jitsi Video Bridge looks like a solution). We're working on inttegrating that into a cohesive whole. Are you interested in working on this in the open source OSHWA/OSI compliant? Tell me more about yourself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03WrhD3zem4 - town hall later.
• Note to Mitch Altman - Will do, thanks! We are thinking about remote participation now as our next move, with the filament maker. We're getting our torch table out to cut blades for shredders etc, and are likely to offer this as our next Remote STEAM Camp.

We have also taken this time as a great opportunity to break the curriculum down into about 16 1 hour lessons. Can I ask you to prepare one of these lessons? The idea is to run the next STEAM Camp where we have 16 instructors doing one lesson each. All lessons should be high quality, and accompanied by full online lesson plans that can be followed by teachers and anyone else that liikes to do so. This is all free, but also paid with some value added options. As always, all of our design is open source, including how to build or prepare the kits if others want to do so. Accompanying each lesson would be the ability to buy a kit.

Can you prepare this lesson for the minimalist Arduino that I asked you regarding the capacitors being too far away? I think if we refine that experiment, and perhaps do a 3D printed circuit board/enclosure, that still remains in my view an excellent lesson and product. What do you think? Can you do this lesson? So the plan would be - we have 16 or so instructors in the next camp, and each of us does one lesson. For the first day (build of 3D printer) - that is a longer lesson - I will prepare that.

Continuing on Large-Scale Development and identifying requirements for transitioning to an open source economy.

1. Wiki - scalable digital platform
2. 1000 Universities - large collaboration across universities. They work with 10,000 high schools as recruiting for the University. OSE provides value proposition of Collaborative Development. Key: OSE provides 4 hour development training
3. 1000 True Fans - large base of supporters. Campaign would have to be started, with a self-funding manager for this. Requirements: adherence to OSE Vision, OSE Specifications, and Critical Path.
4. Open Source Everything Store - based on embedded wiki templates with a Buy button. Simplest implementation: PayPal.
5. 1000 Schools - Mapping them out - and committing to synchronous and asynchronous sessions. Key: OSE provides 4-hr collaborative development training.
6. 1000 high schools - link to different universities
7. Spring Breaks
8. Summer X - then scaling to different locations
9. Incentive Challenges - for every product
10. Get people around small product development - Open Source Microfactory / Library / Hackerspace
11. Funding resources for Open Source Microfactory / Library / Hackerspace
12. Icons - supporting icons for every machine. GVCS Modules. Icons across FreeCAD, Blender, Inkscape, Wiki Templates
13. Useful 3D Prints for the Open Source Everything Store
14. Eco-Enterprise Clubs at schools, high schools, and universities - featuring a shredder, filament maker, and more.
15. Gearing up printer production - for revenue and dissemination of production capacity
16. 1000 microfacories - Libraries / Hackerspaces / Dedicated Facilities that produce real goods, include small showroom, and have online 3D printing service.
17. And at the same time - don't forget about the Real Village for Buying Out at the Bottom, starting out as a University Campus.

Info Architecture

• Proper Collaboration architecture needs infobox for quick update on status of a thing in development
• A development page needs to be set up in one second, and improved in a few seconds.
  • Development Template, Infobox, Social Contract (Dev Guidelines), Videos, Communication Channels (embed Discourse), Upvote for contributions
• Iconography - while we have the machine icons, we need to begin using Open Source Technology Pattern Language primitives to begin communicating

Community + Economics

• Open Source Microfactory is started in every community. Donation of a space via partnership with a local organization.
  • Basic implementation is $5k for a facility with 3D Printers, camera scanner.
• Collaborative Enterprise Development and Marketing - for replicable results.
• Incentive challenge protocol
• Extreme Builds to support a product
• Hackathon to support a product
• STEAM Camps to train people in product development - 9 days no less to get the full commitment
