Intro

This is an assessment to determine whether a certain project qualifies for collaboration with Open Source Ecology within the framework of a Distributive Enterprise. OSE products follow a Product Selection Metric

Assessment

For a positive assessement, these are the requirement:

  1. Does the device itself, or products that can be produced with this device - command at least a $1B global market? The market must be significant, meaning that the product can be considered for scalable, Distributed Market Substitution
  2. Is the license OSHWA and OSI compliant? Must comply with economic freedom. NC and P2P licenses do not qualify.
  3. Distributed Manufacturing -Does the product lend itself to distributed manufacturing, or can it be modified to be produced in a distributed way? (Easy sourcing, common materials, Distributed Qaulity Control)
  4. Closed Loop Material Cycles - does the product lend itself well to full lifecycle stewardship?
  5. Product Ecologies -Does the product fit with OSE Product Ecologies to create a Civilization Starter Kit or Global Village Construction Set?

Other Useful Points

  1. Community - Is there an open source community around the project?
  2. Collaborative Literacy - Is the community or its leaders interested in collaboration? This is a key point to ask. If the community is interested in collaboration, good synergy can result. If the developers go off in a corner and work in isolation, coordination and synergy may be limited.
