The work of OSE for 2017 involves 4 major milestones, for which we are recruiting collaborators:
- Developing the 3D printer as a full release
- Extending the scalable CNC platform of the 3D printer to produce a CNC Oxyfuel Torch Table, which can be used to cut steel for building OSE's heavy machines
- Applying the CNC torch table to build the next iteration of the tractor, backhoe, sawmill, and other construction-related machines.
- Applying the OSE construction machines in the second iteration of the Seed Eco-Home.
We are looking for individuals with a basic requirement of (1) downloading and using the OSE Linux distribution for all OSE-related work; keeping a work log on the OSE wiki (see example such as Marcin Log to promote open collaboration with a large distributed team; (2) learning FreeCAD to produce 3D CAD, which is one of the central activities involved in OSE work. We allow a 2 week learning period for candidates to study OSE FreeCAD 101, and to pass a basic FreeCAD competency test on that page.
The product roadmap rationale is that the 3D printer is recommended for replication as a Build Workshop Enterprise (see [[OSE Workshops for sample workshop offerings) - where people pay for an immersion experience. For the 3D printer, the goal is producing 12-50 3D printers in a single workshop, where people have the option to take a finished 3D printer with them. OSE is currently developing this as a stable funding model for its operations, while making this replicable by others by keeping all of the supporting assets (designs, organizational assets, marketing assets) free and accessible to the public.
