Recently, the project has been growing significantly, so standards definition is gaining in importance.

OSE Founder proposes the following strategy for replication/branding/identity for open hardware development under the OSE label:

  • Develop standards for the meaning of Open Source Ecology operations
  • Refactoring OSE Specifications to human readable form
  • Get advice from flossfoundations.org as the closest allied organization for identity/standards creation,
  • Integrate with GitHub as a hardware repository for commits, including developing web-3D viewing and 3D diffs for hardware designs
  • Evolve development standards to these required elements:
    • Technical development: SEBD, Conceptual Drawings, Design Rationale, Fabrication Procedure, Fabrication Drawings, BOM, Sourcing, CAD, Exploded Part Diagram, CAM files, Toolchain Specifications, Instructional Video, Test Results - to GitHub repository. Official commits approved by Project Leaders and Project Director. Project Curator approves all Project Leaders
    • Development Process Streamlining: Recruiting OSE Spec Review - scoring a particular approach, after clarifying score methodology (based on OSE Specifications, applied to a particular product; Testing; Iteration
  • Define the OSE License for physical products

Standards for OSE

What does an OSE Facility, Operation, Affiliate, Developer, User mean?

OSE Mission, Goals, and Brand Identity

OSE follows these goals:

  1. Development of the GVCS, a minimal yet robust infrastructure platform for a complete economy, according to OSE Specifications by year-end 2012
  2. Development of the first prototype community of 200 people to demonstrate the feasibility of a post-scarcity economy based on the GVCS, by year-end 2014
  3. Viral self-replication by year-end 2016

Definition of an 'OSE' Organization

Any group that uses the word 'OSE' should

Identity

To protect the identity of OSE from corruption, a trademark upon OSE has been suggested. While OSE is an open source project, a trademark would give legal protection to the OSE brand so that someone does not use the name in vain.


OSE License Strategy

1. No restrictions on use 2. OSE Label - only to those who follow OSE Specifications and share 3. OSE trademarked - for OSE Label 4. OSE License - not legal but effectively legal 5. Free to produce commercially under own label, with attribution 6. 5% tithe to produce commercially under OSE Label 7. Fabricator certification required to produce under OSE Label 8. Developers contribute to
