OSE Christmas Gift to the World 2012

Introduction
Every year OSE provides a Christmas gift - to the entire world. This year, we have optimized production of the brick press signigicantly. We went from months in our first production run 4 years ago - to 4 days in September 2012, to 2 days in November - and we look forward to December 18, 2012 - as we build The Liberator - the automated, open source, Compressed Earth Brick Press - in a single day.
A Single Day Production Run of the Brick Press is OSE's Christmas Gift to the World for 2012. This will be accompanied by full documentation - and readiness to see hundreds of these machines be used in 2013 around the world to build high quality housing at about half the cost of conventional building in the USA, and at 1/5th or less the cost for owner-builder construction.
A single day of production means that the builder can generate significant revenue from building and selling these brick presses. We intend production of The Liberator - and other Global Village Construction Set tools - to become a self-funding model for other open source projects. If you are an open source project according to the Open Source Hardware Association Definition, we invite you to contact us for strategic partnerships.
