Optimal Enterprise Priorities Foundation - a Development Pipeline for Transformative Technologies
- Premise: development of a transformative, Open Source economy
- Utililize Vinay's white paper as model theory, extend to mainstream products, and focus on small enterprise incubation
- Keys: open source, flex fab, open license products
- Start with meeting needs (food-energy-housing-tranportation-wireless networks)
- Funding utilized to develop this pipeline process
- Prioritize product selection by a metric (I can detail this metric): most significant products for timely economic decentralization
- Select 5-20 key products as Phase 1
- Explicit process for liberating people from the bottom rungs of Maslow's pyramid
- Explicit process for addressing pressing world issues of resource conflict and resource deprivation (war, hunger, poverty, etc)
- Focus on high value items (cars, CEB, solar turbine, etc.) to make flex fab model work
- Ex: $1k material costs for CEB, sell device for $5k - makes for a viable enterprise model when labor is considered
- Utlize funding to market the message and organize a core development team (say 1-4 directors, 12-100 experts)
- Development process is R&D due dilligence until a solid proposal is produced
- Said proposal is for larger funding to actually deploy the technologies of interest
- Technology development focuses on optimization of proven technologies (ex, solar turbine) and their subsequent integration into a family-scale or village scale infrastructures
- Aim at Factor 10 reduction in price = factor 10 increase of one's freedom
- Leverage Vinay's Hexayurt as existence proof for the possibility of optimization
- Include a physical facility in the development pipeline process
- Overhead reduction via a self-sustaining, land-based facility
- Leverage existing $127k capitalization of present facility
- Utilize technology development wiki and a facility progress blog
- Partner with Fab Lab, RMI, ZERI (Gaviotas), and P2P Foundation
