Claire Davis presentation on HR - outstanding. Andrew Rens discussion on OSE License. Something went viral in Poland, just got 5 media interview requests. Polish DIY Electronics Forum. I should contact Leah Buechley at MIT Media Lab. Should contact Michael Weinberg. I was blown away that the Shuttleworth Foundation team had major team dynamics issues at startup. They are a highly functional team today with help of Helene Smit - depth coach. I started a log of team dynamics for organizational learning.

Embedding Pybossa App for Citizen Cyberscience. Steve Song referred me to YouTube_Video_Optimization and If This Then That. Mark Shurman excited me about Popcorn Maker for remixing videos. OpenShot is another open video editor, comparable to Kdenlive - found about it from Jason, Shuttleworth video editor. We should set up a bunch of video templates in OpenShot as part of our media strategy. Scratch is another great reference from Rufus Pollock. Creabator creativity incubator crowd development platform appears worth watching. Initial view of Mailgun for volume email handling. Suggestion for OSE: do for-profit branch in June 2012, put $ into strengths, not weaknesses, do market research on machines for customers to help shape our program.

Arrived Monday at 9 AM in Stratford on Avon near London for the Shuttleworth Gathering. Jet lagged, did my Dogfood session - plan and discussion on strategic approach - refocus on revenue plan and organizational stabilization. $20k bootstrap funding milestone.

  • Week Milestones:
    • Shuttleworth Gathering all week; prep for Power Cube production on Saturday; Sunday begin Power Cube Production.
  • Last Week milestone evaluation:
    • Power Cube Collaborative Production - materials ordered, procedure written. Surpluscenter + engine + metal ordered. Organized experimental Collaborative Fabrication Diagramming Day
    • Finalization of Shuttleworth submission - 5 minute video - done
    • Get lathe up and running - needs belt + pulley. Buy belt on line? -got pulley and belt; need to install.
    • Find somebody to design and build heat exchanger system - Stove#Stove. Just call up a heating specialist locally? - Gabi called up heating specialists this week.
    • Buy 2 more Millermatic 200 welders - bought 1, others are hard to find. Shipping: {Kavitha} As of Nov 8th, still in progress. Chuck Harrison is working on bringing it back to his workplace to ship. Will update status by Nov 10.
    • Insulate bottom of house for winter - teeth on bucket broke, couldn't finish digging.
    • Identify solution for Bridgeport Mill #2 - call in repairman by Friday. Ask Sweiger for Bridgeport repair people? - Troubleshooting vid done, but no further action taken.
  • Last week summary: Critical path of prototyping: Power Cube production run prepared with followthrough on Fab Diagram forthcoming as a group effort; new welder (1 of 2) bought; lathe closer to running. Shuttleworth accomplished - quick vid from script, but will require more time next time to do full video. Gap analysis: recruiting heat exchanger designers not easy; equipment breakage prevents house completion; not enough time to look after mill nor to complete lathe.
