OSE Developer's Crash Course

In order to create a new world, we need to create a new paradigm of collaborative Extreme Development for accelerated, open source, swarm-based innovation.

A crash course outlining all the open tools used, and functionality learning goals for

• Collaboration - community dev, technical review, crowd-sourcing all aspects
• Design - for fabrication, lifetime, modularity, product ecology, autonomy
• Fabrication - swarming, simple, easy
• Communication - community outeach, marketing, information architecture
• Documentation - Module-Based Design Development Boards
• Enterprise - how to fund and replicate virally

The manual will start with a check list of learning objectives, such as: tools required for CAD of machines, with specific functionality that OSE uses. The Learning Objectives will focus on OSE's integrated approach of how collaboration, design, fabricaion, media, and documentation, and enterprise work together.

In essence, this will be OSE's Collaboration, Interoperability, Design, Fabrication, Media, Documentation, and Enterprise Crash Course

This crash course will be developed in May of 2014, and will serve as a handbook for all Developers.
