OSE Developer Former Team Members
Add Cedric.
csmurill@mtu.edu
I'm contributing to OSE because I see the value in everyone having access to resources to provide a living for one's self and community. I also intend to utilize the information gathered to build my own affordable seed-eco home and create my own home workshop and distributed enterprise.
I'm an Electrical Engineer by training from Michigan Tech. I'd like to help rebuild America's infrastructure with the help of open source principles and am interested in making America Energy Independent as one of my career goals. I firmly believe in the possibilities of open source hardware for bettering my life and the lives of others. My skills include basic I.T., power electronics, power systems, and motor drives as well as some basic business skills.

As a civil engineering student in beautiful Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Kassie explores the way communities interact with their built environment. She is drawn to the cooperative energy of Open Source Ecology. While working on the technical side of OSE's projects, she is learning about the ways open source hardware could help eliminate our current barriers to a sustainable, adaptable, economically feasible structure of civilization. She hopes that her CAD, explanation, organization, and documentation abilities add as much value to the team as possible. With a great deal of gratitude, she is happy to be able to collaborate with such a unique team.

Collaborating with OSE members has helped me realize the enormous potential Open Source principles have for dismantling and replacing the current mainstream economic paradigm by providing people with similar quality tools for the production of their material environment that require fewer resources and rely more on cooperative community participation and knowledge building.

Open Source hardware gives us the potential to innovate exponentially. It is a way to move to an economy of abundance from one of artificial scarcity.

I have a background in Mathematics. I love the subject and its applications which I believe is just about anything. I have gotten very interested in electronics and machines over the last year and a half and I have made couple of things myself. I am also working as a business process analyst which I feel will help me in documentation for the project. What drew me in about Open Source Ecology was the what the project stands for and the whole notion of it being open source. I have found that is the coolest part of the programming community and I have always been somewhat bothered by the notion that any work should be compensated financially. I love the idea of being able to contribute to this project is a great privilege and I hope to be able to contribute in meaningful ways. I believe that this is the future of the world. As we continue to drive automation the job market will get smaller and smaller. I think having the skills and information that this movement provides will be completely necessary in the future. I hope to be able to share this work with others and look forward to collaborating with the team. My end goals are to learn quite a bit, add as much value to the project and world with my work, and to help this project progress as much as I can.
