2 Year Strategic Plan
Abstract
This is a 2 year strategic plan for OSE for the completion of the GVCS not only to Beta Release, but to XM_Distributive Enterprise Development.
We are building a scalable, collaborative, open source product development pipeline for increasing the rate of innovation. Our method is developing the Global Village Construction Set as a test bed for an Extreme Manufacturing methodology - an application of Scrum to hardware development. Our sprcific product is an open source, Distributive Enterprise - the Extreme Microfactory capable of clearing $80k/4 people/month/4000 square feet of production space - producing the 50 GVCS machines - as proof of concept that open economic collaboration not only works - but makes proprietary development models obsolete.
Defining the Game
- The name of the game is developing a scalable, self-funding, organically-growing open product development platform based on XM and the GVCS as a route to the Open Source Economy of Affection.
PURPOSE OF GAME (mission)
STRATEGY FOR GAME (approach / road map for achieving purpose/mission)
ENTITIES OF GAME (Whatever will be used or needs to be considered to play the game including people, elements, environments, etc.)

Milestones
- Beginning of Q4 2012, we are aiming to demonstrate a $20k/month revenue stream to bootstrap fund ongoing development - via production of CEB Presses at a rate of 1 per week - with a Production Manager and apprentices who receive crash course training in flexible fabrication.
- Recruit the first OSE Fellow
