=Wed Nov 28, 2012=
Touched back with [[Rob Kirk]] on December 18 visit. Touched with [[Donna]], [[Catarina]], [[Kavitha]], [[Claire]], [[Karien]] regarding 'profit-sharing pickle'. Donna, Kavitha, Catarina suggest mediation. Claire suggest adaptation of [[Wyolum Sweat Equity]]. All agree that there is no profit. All agree that the discussion is about specific needs of specific individuals, not blanket agreement. It is not about the money, it is about governance or pay for volunteers. Conclusion: develop governance and all parties take responsibility for expectation management. [[Time Best Inventions of the Year 2012]]. [[Huffington Post TED Weekends]] blog post. Finalist in [[Focus Forward Film Competition]]. Submitting [[Shuttleworth Application]] with 4 references. [[CEB Press on Crowdfunder]] ? Continued [[Governance]]. [[Shuttleworth Fellowship 2013 Submission]].
=Tue Nov 27, 2012=
Fatigued from last night but excited. Suggested that GE opensource nickel iron batteries to [[Mike Arauz]] and [[Catarina]]. Gave [[Lenny Wayne]] of [[Backhoe Log]] go ahead on triangular backhoe design, planning build on Dec. 7-8, with consistency beginning for 2 prototype builds per month. Shooting [[Shuttleworth Application]] video. Finishing 4 questions. Requested letters of reference from [[Lesa]], [[Lawrence]], [[David Garrett]], [[Manuel]], [[Pawel]], [[Nikolay]], [[Zach]], [[Dan]], and [[James]]. Continuing [[Pilot Projects]].
=Mon Nov 26, 2012=
Got up at crack of dawn. Finishing [[2013 Shuttleworth Application]] script. Updated [[Team_Sequencing_Rationale]] with [[Claire]]. Submitting Shuttleworth for reveiw to Karien, Catarina, Dave, Emily. Did insulation from noon till 9 PM. Some people cut out early in view of frost danger (got down to 10F) - major vision alignment issue - needs to be resolved. [[Kavitha]] helped till 9. Finished further script ideas, shooting tomorrow.
=Sun Nov 25, 2012=
Recovering from production run, loaded Barry Alexander up last night by midnight. Starting [[Free Marcin Campaign]]. Finishing [[2013_Shuttleworth_Application]] script. Talked to [[Catarina]] about documentation, development, community manager recruitment, and strategic communications.

Submitted Huffington Post TED Fridays blog post with editorial team. Major revision of [[2013 Shuttleworth Application]]. Working [[November_23,_2012_Collaborative_Production_Run]].
=Wed Nov 21 2012=
Continuing [[Open_Source_Hardware_Modularity_Pattern_Language]] with [[Catarina]]. Starting [[Documentation Standards Development]]. Wrote down strategy evolution with [[Undercurrent]] including [[Humanitarian Pilot Projects]]. Secure commitment by [[Catarina Mota]] for 50% time commitment on collaborative development of [[OSHWA]]/[[OSE]] open hardware documentation standards in January, and on potential collaboration on a build of the [[WikiSpeed Prototype I]] 100 mpg car - as part of [[Open Source Everything]] class at [[ITP]] at NYU - which requires extensive documentation. Goal is to produce a complete car in 1 day with 20 people as a hands-on exercise of Open Source Collaborative Production. moving forward on fabrication optimization of [[Tractor]] to 1 day with [[Milgo Bufkin]] - state of art digital fab. Beginning [[CEB Press IV Fabrication Diagrams]] for the [[November_23,_2012_Collaborative_Production_Run]].
=Tue Nov 20, 2012=
Slept in, out of sorts, chainsawed some fire lumber, working on script for Shuttleworth reapplication. Tristan won't be here until Thu night, will have to scuttlebutt on application video. Updating [[Open_Source_Hardware_Modularity_Pattern_Language]] and extended this from GVCS to Open Source Hardware in general.
=Mon Nov 19, 2012=
[[3rd Ward]] visit with Jason and Stephanie - offer to settle on Governor's Island for pilot projects. Milgo Bufkin]] visis was insane. CNC hole punchers, water jet cutters, largest industrial CNC laser in the world, and metal bending of steel up to 4" thick including making closed tubing profiles, CNC rollers. New ideas on small scale production of tractors in one day for $500 in parts. Will ask Bruce Gitlin, CEO, to advise on tractor fabrication optimization to one day. Then [[Katehrine Handin]], but we were late for lunch, straight to [[Undercurrent]] strategy session. Discussion on cunning plan for standards/documentation/os hardware pilot/ with Catarina - helping us allocate Kauffman $35k documentation budget.
=Sun Nov 18, 2012=
Met Catarina, [[Adrian Hong]]. Great to reconnect to Adrian. Met [[Gaby]] of [[Protei]]/[[OpenH20]]. Talked about open hardware development and documentation and hybrid orgs - OpenH20 and OSE are hybrids.
=Sat Nov 17, 2012=
3 hour session with [[Emily]] on Character Stand and Promise. Rest is insulation from noon. Everyone quit at 4:30 after doing East side, I finished north side myself by 9:30PM, as it was a window of opportunity - don't know if weather will allow more insulation work in future. North side is critical as it's a full wall. Went to bed to wake up at 5 AM, left by 5:50 for NYC.
=Fri Nov 16, 2012=
Talking to [[Rahul Log]]. Finishing [[Shuttleworth_Project_Pitch_-_Staff]] - did good work on job description last night, but overall it's elusive as roles are shifting constantly based on new developments. [[Recruiting Sequencing]] is coming together. Posted [[Build Yourself]] on wiki. '''Published [[Open Recruiting Guidelines]]'''. Received [[24VDC_Hydraulic_Power_Unit]] from [[Josj]]. Rahul - [[Universal Rotor]], [[Quick_Attach_Wheels]], [[Universal Rotor Log]] is basis. Working on [[LifeTrac Gear Module]]. Estimated time - 1 week full time, 3 weeks part time. Conditions of satisfaction: full design + BOM as Phase 1. Encouraging conversation, looking for a long term commitment.
=Thu Nov 15, 2012=
Didn't get to [[Shuttleworth_Project_Pitch_-_Staff]] yesterday or day before yesterday, so starting now. Long discussion with Tristan regarding [[Nov-Dec Video Production Plan]], waiting for acceptance/amendment. Chainsawed firewood lumber today, and yesterday. Plenty of dead trees at north end from bulldozing by neighbor. Didn't order steel or bolts for CEB Press until late today - there was a number of mistakes in the cut list and bolt list so I had to comb through both. Sweiger Metal Order - [[File:sweigernovceb.ods]]. Mokan fastener order - [[File:mokannovcdb.ods]].
=Wed Nov 14, 2012=
Goals for Today: complete [[CEB IV Steel BOM for 2nd CEB Collaborative Production Run]], and [[CEB IV Bolts order from Mokan Fastener]]. Write [[Shuttleworth Project Pitch for Staff]]. Start [[Work Log Guidelines]] as distilled version of [[Work Log]]. Update [[DPV]] page for Work Log guidelines. Rewrite [[Shuttleworth Application]]. Test [[CEB Press]] - 4-6 PM. Document [[Power Cube VII Wiring]] and install.
Started [[Remote_Collaboration_Guidelines]].  2 hr meeting with Tristan on video work. Didn't get to Project Pitch, Reapplication, or CEB Press testing, or Wiring. Waiting for Tom to verify wiring diagrams.
=Tue Nov 13, 2012=
Interviewed [[Jacob Dalton]] for [[DPV]] on [[True Fans Platform]] - now in contract writing phase. Started [[Documentation Guidelines]]. Ordered [[November_23,_2012_Collaborative_Production_Run]] hydraulics.
=Mon Nov 12, 2012=
Frozen soil and heavy rain yesterday, after a couple days in the 60s. Stove thermal mass is working great - today morning latent heat of masonry was clearly present, as it was 20F at night. Yoonseo's [[Open Source Stepper Motor Controller]] is beginning to look very impressive. Preparing [[November 23, 2012 Collaborative Production Run]].
=Sun Nov 11, 2012=
Started [[Power Cube VII]] Collaborative Production Run
Week Milestones:
*Rewrite 2nd rough draft of Shuttleworth Application
*Test CEB Press IV brick pressing
*Prepare full fabrication procedure for CEB Press
*Order outstanding materials for CEB press
Last week mlestones evaluation:
*Shuttleworth Gathering all week
*prep for Power Cube production on Saturday
*Sunday begin Power Cube Production.
'''Overall Evaluation''' - Shuttleworth week done, application review session with Karien and Helen was useful. Experimental collaborative Fabrication Diagramming did not yield complete diagram, but did get us much of the procedure. Waking up early today (4 AM), I got to Procedure refinement an hour before the 9 am start time. Beginning Production Run on schedule. '''Other Evaluations''' - Tristan: As of 2 months and 2 weeks of work (one week vacation last week), Tristan produced a total of 7 videos of which 2 qualify as instructionals - of the 15 stated in contract (10 videos and 5 instructionals). Uploaded about 10 minutes of the 250 minutes of remote editing uploads. Parker: 3 of 5 days worked on last week (vacation), most tasks not done. This week: Milestones not set, looks like 1 hour average of administrative work on logged days, logged 4 of 5 days.
=Sat Nov 10, 2012=
[[Power Cube VII]] collaborative design session.
=Fri Nov 9, 2012=
[[Laws_of_Simplicity]] - simplicity makes a good brand. Posted [[Branding Discussion]]. Posted [[OSE_License#Towards the OSE License - Open Source Hardware License]] with Andrew Rens. Rough notes on [[December 18 Production Run]].
=Thu Nov 8, 2012=
[[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.
=Wed Nov 7, 2012=
[[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.
=Tue Nov 6, 2012=
Updated [[GVCS_Rollout_Sequencing]] with [[GVCS Modularity Pattern Language]]. Started description of [[December 18, 2012 Collaborative Production Run]]. Updated [[DPV]] page with [[Dedicated Project Visits#Application and Participation Steps]] to respond to [[Emily Dixon]] request for summer internship. Published [[GVCS Rollout Sequencing]]. Finished rough draft of [[Shuttleworth_Fellowship_Application_-_2013_-_Marcin_Jakubowski]].
=Mon Nov 5, 2012=
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.'''
=Sun Nov 4, 2012=
Traveling. Kavitha and I are negotiating [[Jacob Dalton]]'s [[Dedicated Project Visit]] on [[True Fans Platform]] - defining clear, measurable goals for his stay. Emailed [[Josh Bond]] on directions of Tractor, Power Cube, wheel units - integrated development awaiting [[LifeTrac Infrastructure Deployment]] - need good models to show how ecology fits together. Core - rapid deployment via next level of modularity
=Sat Nov 3, 2012=
Began documenting [[Contract Process]] to clarify performance management & sanctions, expectation management, measurability (assessment of followthrough) & transparency, scope of work (what you are to and not to do), distraction management, process documentation and [[Microinstructionals]] (re [[144 Incubators]]. Main outstaning question I need to nail is governance for Critical Path. Defined current [[Critical Path]]. Added [[Strategic_Plan_2_Ambitious#Foundation_for_the_Open_Source_Economy]] to Strategic Plan. Published [[Daily_Log_of_Tasks#Effective_Communication]].
=Fri Nov 2, 2012=
[[Emily]] conference call - Character Stand and Promise - next meet Sunday 3 PM London Time. Positive development with [[Rob Kirk]] on potential TV series where we control the message. Updated [[Executive Assistant]]. Working [[Shuttleworth Application 2013]]. Updating [[Log Standards]] (same as [[Work Log Standards]]. Started [[Remote Design Standards]]. Videod [[Trencher_Prototype_I]].
=Thu Nov 1, 2012=
Updated [[Wood_Stove_with_Heat_Exchanger#Overview]] for bidding. Started [[DPV Standards]] after reviewing [[Jacob Dalton]]'s DPV application. Redoing [[Shuttleworth_Fellowship_Application_-_2013_-_Marcin_Jakubowski]]
