Global Collaboration

  1. Manuael Antonio Aguilar - Guatemala. TED Fellow and builder of a sustainable community in Guatemala. OSE USA developers are planning to help him set up a workshop and produce the tractor/CEB/Sawmill package for natural construction.
  2. Dan Schellenberg, Texas - currently collaborating on a Master Site Plan for Factor e Farm.
  3. CoHabitat Group - produced v0.5 of OSE Microhouse, 1/15/12

Infrastructure

  1. HabLab - Roof complete. Needs: base blocks so walls can start; need to move pallets to site. 1/18/12
  2. Open Source FabLab - Windows being finished so structure is airtight. Needs: CEB columns to be finished inside CE1/18/12
  3. OSE Microhouse - v0.5 plans from CoHabitat Group available in Civilization Starter Kit DVD online. Discussing construction details with Floyd Hagerman and Factor e Crew this week. Needs: details finished; integration with biogas generation and aquaponics, and closed loop flush toilet blackwater system. Last updated 1/18/12.
  4. Tooling Up - acquiring 2 mills, one lathe, surface grinder, 4400 lb battery, 12.5kW of Stackable Inverters. Ironworker Machine and CNC Torch Table prototype II forthcoming. Will procure hydraulic hose crimper. 1/18/12

Organizational
