Abstract: We aim to produce an innovative self-funding operation by incorporating core physical production - a basis of the Open Source Ecology paradigm - into our organizational infrastructure. We are requiring management to

The basic organizational ecology revolves around the Founding Director, Director of Development, and Product Director. These people provide strategic development to keep the organization on track, under the oversight of the OSE Board of Directors.

The basic productive ecology on site at FeF revolves around the leadership of the Production Director, Farm Director, and Construction Director. Each of these have several interns in training, where the Directors are responsible for training the apprentices. Bootstrap-funding production occurs primarily through the Director-Apprentice pairings. Apprentices may be unskilled or may be professionals (such as welders, machinists, farmers, builders, etc.). In all cases, all apprentices are required to expand their skill sets via cross-training to become Integrated Humans. Products include GVCS tools, Immersion Learning Workshops, and products of these tools such as houses, agriculture operations, Microfactories, energy farms, OSE Campuses, and even small scale republics (as in Small Scale Decentralized Republic Development Corporations).

These directors also collaborate with OSE Fellows (new product prototypers/developers), Distributive Enterprise Incubator entrepreneurs (production replicators), and Fabricators.
