ABSTRACT

This is a deployment plan for a world-class research center for Open Source Economic Development (OSED). Product line, infrastructure, working questions and decision forking, personnel, budget, timeline, resource development, strategic planning, education, commercialization, and self-replication are covered.

Operational abstract:

1. Clarify vision for research center
2. Define metric for product selection
3. Rate Global Village Construction Set product line
4. Define right livelihood enterprise set
5. Specify all working questions on the product line and enterprise set
6. Specify infrastructure needs
7. List all resource development items
8. Specify education program
9. Create Powerpoint presentation
10. Start resource development
