OSE Expansion Model

To date, the challenges of the project revolve around designing for a product ecology (solution: providing admissible modules up front), cultural alignment, gaps in collaborative literacy, generalist skill sets required, and challenges to accessing free and open source tools.

Our plan in going forward is to focus on training to provide diversified skill sets, and to establish a firm Entrepreneur in Residence Program whereby an Entrepreneur in residence develops a distributive enterprise on the time scale of 6 months. The support model for this involves documentation to train new people in replicating, along the lines of distributive enterprise.

One challenge of ose is that it is a low overhead operation ($12k/year), therefore a low need to establish high revenue streams. It's goal is to make less money as time goes on, which means its operating model is quite counterintuitive. Given its goal of creating the next trillion dollar economy - the open source economy - there must be a novel approach to achieve this.
