Hi Albert,
I'm the founder of Open Source Ecology - please see my TED Talk on the Global Village Construction Set -https://www.ted.com/talks/marcin_jakubowski_open_sourced_blueprints_for_civilization
We work in open hardware. Are you open to collaborating with us on a version of MakerPhone that can be built using our open source CNC circuit mill? We would love to create a deeper DIY product which doesn't rely on custom circuit boards outside of ones that can be created with open source tooling and off-the-shelf components. I think this will drive sales for your existing Ringo Phone, which is professionally kitted as opposed to being made from scratch. So we could both benefit from this collaboration. We could make simpler kits that require more work, but would be a good use case of our open source CNC circuit mill.
If you're open to this - please email me at marcin@opensourceecology.org
Thanks, Marcin
Assessment
- OSE's design would enable both fabricated boards, and milled boards for deeper learning and flexible production in a robustified microfactory
- OSE's design is thus Distributive Enterprise
- MJ sez - if I'm reading this correctly, Ringo Phone appears to be a Non-Distributive Open Hardware Enterprise
