==Introduction==
Collaborative design means that we create the new world together. This means that OSE's work, with ample [[Proofs of Concept]] achieved, is in a good position to create [[OSE Campuses]] worldwide. At the point of creating the [[Seed Home 2 Extreme Enterprise]], we are around the corner to releasing a very importan product of high interest - a home. This lends itself to widespread collaboration and significant interest, as the housing part provides a solid revenue model. This model can be used to fund additional entrepreneurs, who can be absorbed into the OSE program as [[OSE Fellows]] who start new [[OSE Campuses]]. One model can be that of a microfactory within a city, and a larger Campus within an hour of any metropolis. The metropolis then supports and seeds its satellite, which influences the metropolis by providing production based on natural resources (food, fuel, fiber, minerals), recreation, and natural preservation. The relationship is regenerative, healing land and people.


=Immersion Training - 5 Weeks - August 25 to September 30, 2018=
The current idea is summarized from the [[Seed Home 2 Business Plan]], and is based on [[Enterprise Scaling for Solving Pressing World Issues]]:
The OSE Fellows program is a one year, full time, merit-based Fellowship for doing something extraordinary while working with OSE.  OSE Fellow candidates start with a 5 week immmersion program, beginning with the 1 week boot camp as described below - and continuing on to a solid working knowledge of the open source desktop microfactory. The Microfactory consists of the 3D printer, filament maker for producing 3D printing filament from scrap plastic, the CNC Circuit Mill, 3D Scanner (camera + software), and 2.5W laser cutter. Fellows-in-Training will build and take home all of these tools, such that they gain a capacity to support prototyping, production, and education activities that are part of their work with OSE.


Candidates' completion of the 5 week immersion qualifies the candidates to continue working with OSE full time - as OSE Fellows. Fellows spend about 25% of their time running public immersion build workshops - and the rest in further research and development.

==Senior OSE Fellowship==

Near the one year mark - Fellows can apply for the Senior OSE Fellowship, which involves another 5 weeks of immersion training starting in September 2019. The schedule for immersion training in 2019 will include on the larger Open Source Microfactory, which continues the capacity of the Desktop Microfactory to the heavy metal work with the CNC torch table, heavy duty CNC machining, and other tools for heavy machine fabrication. Immersion training on the Open Building Instititute will follow the development of the full open source microfactory. We will also add the Open Source Agroecology immersion program, and then add the Integrated Humans program where we shift focus to augmenting humanity's capacity for learning, empathy, health, freedom, and self-determination. As such, the tentative schedule of immersion training will be:


#September 2018 - Desktop Microfactory
==Summary==
#April 2019 - Full Microfactory. CNC Torch Table and Heavy Duty Machines.
Collaborative design for regenerative solutions at scale is a big opportunity:
#September, 2019 - Open Source Construction. CEB Press, Aquaponic Greenhouse, and Seed Eco-Home construction techniques based on the results of the [[Open Building Institute]] collaboration
#April 2020 - Open Source Agroecology - developing perennial polyculture, plant breeding, and aquaponic operations for regenerative agriculture and food security
#September 2020 - Integrated Humans program, shifting gears from open source appropriate technology to opening up the human dimension


Senior Fellows will then have an opportunity to continue with OSE by continued training to run the existing OSE Campus - and then will work on establishing new OSE Campuses in other locations. The nature of the OSE Campus is an immersion learning facility as well as an experimental facility for regenerative development. The OSE Campus is intended to be a mixture of a university, research park, and eco-industrial facility that provides an environment for transcending artificial scarcity in human affairs. The OSE Campus intends to demonstrate the feasibility of a prosperous economy based on abundant on-site resources supported by global information, thereby making resource conflicts obsolete.
*Open Source Ecology Enterprise - needs branding such as Open Source Pioneers
*Gather 144 recruits, out of high school. Best candidate from each urban area.
*Gather funding


OSE Fellows will receive a stipend that allows them to work with OSE on a full-time basis.


OSE Fellows will be paired with a business mentor from their own community to help them collaborate with local education, organization, and business organizations. OSE would like to ensure that Fellows ground themselves in local economic development, and that they receive support on their mission from their local communities.

'''The first OSE Boot Camp will be run as the first week of the OSE Fellows immersion training - August 25-31.'''  A one week immersion, hands-on course where you learn about OSE's collaborative, open source development and extreme manufacturing process, with the open source desktop microfactory as the focus. You will be exposed to the full toolchain of crowd design from idea to build, where both the hardware and software are open source. We will do rapid prototyping using: FreeCAD and part libraries, 3D scanning, 3D printing, CNC circuit milling, laser cutting, and making 3D printing filament from scrap plastic - where all of the associate tools are completely open source. We will teach you how to operate a closed loop materials cycle as we recycle scrap plastic into virgin 3D printing filament. You will learn how to design a 3D printer according to our 3D Printer Design Guide and Construction Set approach using our Universal Axis motion system. We will also cover how the same Universal Axis system can be used to build the CNC Circuit Mill and small laser cutter as derivative machines. We will also cover how you can set up an online, on-demand 3D printing store using a Raspberry Pi-based server for your home microfactory. We will show you how you can get involved with OSE's open source product development effort for household consumer goods that can potentially put an open source dent in the existing $20T household consumer goods market. Finally, you will build your own 3D printer in one day to take home with you. The goal is to equip you with all the skills and open source equipment that enables you to design and build larger and smaller versions of the 3D printer and derivative machines, so you can bring open source production and culture back to your neighborhood.

OSE Unique Value Proposition

  • Collaborative Design for a transparent and inclusive economy of abundance - 2019
  • Historic transfer of wealth from the few to the many - 2019
  • Regenerative solutions at scale - 2020

Introduction

Collaborative design means that we create the new world together. This means that OSE's work, with ample Proofs of Concept achieved, is in a good position to create OSE Campuses worldwide. At the point of creating the Seed Home 2 Extreme Enterprise, we are around the corner to releasing a very importan product of high interest - a home. This lends itself to widespread collaboration and significant interest, as the housing part provides a solid revenue model. This model can be used to fund additional entrepreneurs, who can be absorbed into the OSE program as OSE Fellows who start new OSE Campuses.

The metropolis then supports and seeds its satellite, which influences the metropolis by providing production based on natural resources (food, fuel, fiber, minerals), recreation, and natural preservation. The relationship is regenerative, healing land and people.
