Crowdmap Problem Statement

A number of technical developers and a nimble organizational support structure is required to deliver 50/2/2. See the 32 step process, in development, outlined at Scalable_Open_Source_Product_Development_Process. The goal is to fund and deploy a large parallel development effort of GVCS development as a global collaboration far beyond the boundaries of Factor e Farm.

To facilitate this, we are exploring the use of Crowdmap to identify potential developers - all the subject matter experts, prototypers, managers, fabricators, CAD designers, reviewers, funders, and other potential supporters. This Crowdmap is meant to provide a key resource for identifying collaborators - and it leverages the contribution of people worldwide for participating in helping to bring the GVCS to completion.

An initial instance has been put up at Appropedia - [1] - as a template, but unless Appropedia is involved intimately in the process, the brand identity should be attached to OSE and GVCS.

Nikolay Georgiev has volunteered to leverage Crowdmap. Please send all correspondence on this topic to nikolay.h.georgiev at gmail dot com

Proposal

• Write a blog post on this
• Publicize and fill in crowd map
• Utilize crowd map resources in GVCS deployment according to Scalable_Open_Source_Product_Development_Process
