Overview

Meetings

15 Oct 13 Meeting Notes

Telecon with Audrey/TCM and Alex Dale, President of Engineers for a Sustainable World

  1. ID 2-3 chapters that would like to take on a project from the GVCS (possible chapter Stephens Institute of Technology
  2. OSE needs to establish development process protocols and development boards; meet with chapters regularly
  3. OSE will then fabricate the designs at FeF. Steps: Set up a video conference with interested parties, NOTE: OSE needs to streamline and implement the Product Development Process, once chapters are partnered with projects we will send a press release/blog/etc.

Next Steps:

  1. Meet to discuss project(s) with interested chapters
  2. Outline responsibilities to better define the relationship: 1) ID initial steps (collaborate on projects, expand into networks), 2) Regular partnership may then extend to cross-branded chapters
  3. Produce a webinair that focuses on sustainability initiatives, open source, rapid prototyping, etc
  4. Discuss possible OSE attendance/presentation(s) at regional/national conferences

Barriers

  1. OSE needs to fully implement PDP and PDBs
  2. OSE needs to determine how to integrate these projects, communication protocols, etc into daily operations
  3. OSE needs to develop a brief training/instructional/video on how to take on a new project in our organization
  4. OSE needs to make available projects that are ready to be "picked up" -- i.e. have product concepts and requirements defined to facilitate collaboration and expectations
