PS. Reward for student is guest appearance of Marcin as Guest Production Director, for a 1-2 day build of the machine they design in a hypermodular fashion. I am willing to commit to this - this is core work. So we can frame this visit as a working session to begin planning - boy, that would REALLY be worth my time. We need a good reward structure: we can motivate this by state-of-art efficiency of build, which we are pioneering. This is our One Day promise, and if they really don't bite, we continue to look. We have a major value proposition: extreme production, practical experience, humanitarian service. For professor, it will be fame, as we will probably have a camera crew trailing us (H2 channel, or Emily Hunter). I'm getting excited about this as a possible campaign. | PS.

OSE has achieved a major milestone with the production of its automated Compressed Earth Brick Press in the One Day Production Run of December 18, 2012. This has set a new standard of efficiency for OSE. The implications are that when the other Global Village Construction Set machines are designed according to similar principles of hypermodularity and simplicity - they can also be produced on the time scale of a single day.
PS. Reward for student is guest appearance of Marcin as Guest Production Director, for a 1-2 day build of the machine they design in a hypermodular fashion. I am willing to commit to this - this is core work. So we can frame this visit as a working session to begin planning - boy, that would REALLY be worth my time. We need a good reward structure: we can motivate this by state-of-art efficiency of build, which we are pioneering. This is our One Day promise, and if they really don't bite, we continue to look. We have a major value proposition: extreme production, practical experience, humanitarian service. For professor, it will be fame, as we will probably have a camera crew trailing us (H2 channel, or Emily Hunter). I'm getting excited about this as a possible campaign.
Organizational Model
There is huge potential in leveraging partnerships with various education institutions worlddied
Further, can he give us a specific name of a 'strong stakeholder' in the TAD program? Meaning - a professor or chair who can guarantee a Student Project for their class (say 10 students for 1 month = 400 hours of design time at 25% time commitment)? Ie, not necessarily this semester (which probably started), but for next semester, so we actually put this into our planning for 2013 Milestones on a specific machine? Short of this, I don't really have the time to mess with this unless they pay more.
Can you request a Skype conversation with such a stakeholder? Show them the TED Talk - and see if they bite. If they bite, I can talk to them on Skype - but with clear expectations that we're discussing a serious commitment to involve a class.
We should publish an RFC - an open Request for Collaboration - where we make a global call to University professors in engineering who are willing to have their class take on a project. If pitched properly, wo could get major interest. So I think we should prepare an RFC package this year, I'll consider having our new Technical Community Manager organize this opportunity.
If they get super excited and commit beyond the current 'noncommitted speculation', I'd be glad to go. Otherwise, I am just doing unfocused use of my time. We need to score several of these opportunities, and if not here, somewhere worldwide where a professor commits to guiding a class on a GVCS project. Individual students are not a strategic investment.
University and Educational Institution Partnerships
- http://cpressoir.org - a top technical high school in Haiti, is a potential partner. The principal, Guy Etienne has expressed direct interest in taking on the build of our open source tractor as a pilot project for Haiti. The talent is there for a pilot build at the high school.
- If you are a professor, administrator, or executive of a college, high school, university, technical school, institute, or other interested party, contact us at opensourceecology at gmail.
