Critical Issues
The critical milestone for effective leadership of the project is clarifying the requirements of a basic hardware development methodology, as well as producing the supporting documentation for this this method. Presently, we are considering a lean technique with the key point of using simple, widely-available development tools for hardware - wikis, Google Docs, and Sketchup. The next major milestone include:
- Refining the Flashy XM platform based on recent CAD, Remote Collaboration, Replication, and Collaborative Production Learnings - in the form of a seminal white paper on a distributed, scalable, open source product development platform.
- Detailing a budget required to execute on each product, with implications for budgets required for scalability
Operations Manager Requirements
Abstract: The Operations Manager is responsible for keeping track of, maintaining smooth flow of, unblocking development processes across prototyping, production, agriculture, and construction areas.
- Performance management and human relations experience
- Ability to make accurate assessments on strategic priorities and their execution
- Effective organizational skills to manage and follow a large number of moving parts
- Ability to Work Openly
Operations Manager Duties
- Process Management - Assures that prototyping, agriculture, production, construction, and organizational development staff and volunteers can carry out their duties effectively. This involves following the Flashy XM procedure and fulfilling its components. Documentation is a special subset of this, and is listed as a separate item below.
- Production Run Management - Assists ED in sourcing, assembling documentation, and preparing for Collaborative Production Runs.
- Process Development - Assists ED in developing and testing Open Source Product Development Process
- Publishing - assures that documentation requrements are met on the OSE Wiki and via Booktype
- Human Resources - Recruits and onboards new candidates, and prepares candidates for final approval by ED.
- Purchasing and Financial Controls - Carries out purchasing and executes financial control standards
- Organization - executes organizational structuring tasks
Critical Issues
For effective process management, the first step is defining and executing processes for fulfilling Flashy XM tasks.

Community Manager Duties
Abstract: The Community Manager harnesses the energy of a larger global community for GVCS project development by directing a distributed effort for both technical development and resource development.
- Actively develops networked collaboration on CAD contributions from technical schools for CAD generation and conversion
- Works with and guides remote project developers on developing the 50 GVCS machines.
- Organizes Dedicated Project Visits for approval by ED
- Organizes Flash Mobs for design, review, and documentation sessions.
