There are three primary ways to volunteer with OSE:
#'''Remote Collaboration''': We are in need of '''technical remote collaborators''' to perform product research, concept development, 3D design, graphics/video graphics. We are looking for subject matter experts, fabricators, technical writers, videographers, video editors, and voice over specialists. Many remote collaborators participate in [[Design Sprints]], which are typically held on Saturdays.
#'''Dedicated Project Visit''': Collaborators who are interested in coming to Factor e Farm in Maysville, Missouri to assist with designing, building and testing the [[Global Village Construction Set|50 GVCS Machines]] can apply for a '''Dedicated Project Visit'''. Dedicated Project Visits are typically at least one month in duration, but shorter and longer time frames are acceptable. During the [[Dedicated Project Visits]]], Dedicated Project Visitors (DPVs) assist with the current development and testing initiatives, which are found in  [[Product Development Schedule]]. However, on occasion, a DPV may request a Specialized Dedicated Project Visit where the DPV works on a GVCS product or OSE initiative that is not part of the Product Development Schedule.
#'''Work Day Volunteer''': Work Days are an opportunity to volunteer with OSE at Factor e Farm. A Work Day volunteer may help for one day or multiple days of a project. Work Day activities include GVCS prototype buildouts and infrastructure development, maintenance, and improvement. See our [http://opensourceecology.org/wiki/Work_Day_Guidelines#Work_Days Work Day(s)] page for more information.


*Professionals can help us design specific projects or sub-assemblies of that project. We are requesting review and bids on our [[Specifications]].
Please contact info@opensourceecology.org for more information about Remote Collaboration, Dedicated Project Visits or Work Days.


*You may visit Factor e Farm to help design, build a prototype, and implement a project. This can mean visits of a week minimum at a time, or full onsite, year around living at Factor e Farm. If you wish to visit to work on your project, and if we have no additional housing (check with us on this), you will have to either bring your own housing (tent, camper, etc), or need to build your own [[Solar_Cubicle|shelter]], or donate $430 to have it built before you arrive (Once the CEB press has been modified, your shelter will be a CEB house, not a Solar Cubicle). If you are staying for an extended time (1 month or more), you will also need to build your own [[Organoponic_Raised_Bed_Gardening|Organoponic Raised Bed]] using materials provided, or contribute $225 to have it built before you arrive. In that case, you will then be fully responsible for your shelter and your raised bed while you are onsite. Please consider volunteering at least once before you decide that you wish to take this route - see [[Volunteer at Factor e Farm]]. Living onsite is a major lifestyle change which may not be for everyone.

Volunteering with Open Source Ecology

There are three primary ways to volunteer with OSE:

  1. Remote Collaboration: We are in need of technical remote collaborators to perform product research, concept development, 3D design, graphics/video graphics. We are looking for subject matter experts, fabricators, technical writers, videographers, video editors, and voice over specialists. Many remote collaborators participate in Design Sprints, which are typically held on Saturdays.
  2. Dedicated Project Visit: Collaborators who are interested in coming to Factor e Farm in Maysville, Missouri to assist with designing, building and testing the 50 GVCS Machines can apply for a Dedicated Project Visit. Dedicated Project Visits are typically at least one month in duration, but shorter and longer time frames are acceptable. During the Dedicated Project Visits], Dedicated Project Visitors (DPVs) assist with the current development and testing initiatives, which are found in Product Development Schedule. However, on occasion, a DPV may request a Specialized Dedicated Project Visit where the DPV works on a GVCS product or OSE initiative that is not part of the Product Development Schedule.
  3. Work Day Volunteer: Work Days are an opportunity to volunteer with OSE at Factor e Farm. A Work Day volunteer may help for one day or multiple days of a project. Work Day activities include GVCS prototype buildouts and infrastructure development, maintenance, and improvement. See our Work Day(s) page for more information.
