Message
In today's digital age, Linux open source software runs the internet. Linux as a project gathers $1B of voluntary software development contributions to build a computer operating system that everyone has access to. Similarly, wikipedia gathers $1B of encyclopedia edit value per yer. We are asking - how do we get to a trillion dollar per year - for open source hardware?
Distributed manufacturing is the name of the game. For that, we need open source design. For that, we are building teams.
So far, we have built over 100 open source industrial machine prototypes, and our next step is turning each of them into full products. So far we have seen over 2 dozen replications by people who downloaded our plans in 13 countries around the world. Cool, but far from viral or significant economic impact. We can built heavy machines in a single day, and last year we built a seed eco-home in 5 days.
We are taking it to the next level. We are organizing development teams for a well-organized development effort. This is a call out to you. If you are a professional, and you would like to contribute to a project with purpose, and you have 10 hours per week for a volunteer project - then this is for you. We promise effective teams and a learning environment - immersed in open source culture. Apply today.
