OSE Fellows
Introduction
OSE Fellows are individuals who take the OSE immersion training program and become involved full time with OSE development. Immersion training is starting in September of 2018 with our 1 Month Immersion Training. The goal is to produce significant growth in open source product development by a direct focus on Distributed Market Substitution.
Development Roadmap
Fellows are accepted to the Program based on their interest in developing the GVCS to completion, thereby creating a robust civilization starter kit for rebuilding infrastructures. Completion of the GVCS is expected to happen by 2028. At this time, we will focus on applications to regenerating civilization's infrastructures - such as regenerative cities, farms, and production enterprises. At this time, we will decide how deep into the semiconductor manufacturing process OSE would like to dive. OSE's main goal is that there will be no bottlenecks in human technology - in terms of certain areas of endeavor remaining proprietary. In 2028, we plan on branching out to human development: helping people to become free of trauma, addiction, violence, low self-esteem, insecurity, closed-mindedness, negative psychology, and any other weaknesses related to unhealthy lifestyles. Our route to that is education, as well as tools and techniques for health, positive psyhology, biofeedback, renenerative medicine. Our goal is to make the knowledge and tools for health fully accessible so that everyone has an honest chance to thrive. This follows and is enabled by the removal of artificial scarcity from the mainstream society.
All Fellows who work with OSE collaborate with the OSE team on delivering the GVCS roadmap, and the current Development Narrative at Critical Path#Development Narrative. The entire team of OSE Fellows will be involved to engage this process deeply, including providing feedback to the direction to the GVCS rollout. Because Fellows and the leadership team are involved most deeply in the actual development process, we will keep the focus clear, but might reprioritize items based on the specific interests and skill sets of participants. The known end point by 2028 is the creation of an infrastructure sufficient for creating a modern standard of living - housing, private transportation systems, food systems, and others. This includes all technology up to semiconductor fabrication and the production of bearings. The latter is not explicitly in the GVCS - but may possibly be added if it appears that semiconductor manufacturing is not entering as a regenerative area of endeavor.
Fellow Generalist Specializations
OSE values a generalist, systems-thinking perspective, which allows one to draw on patters from different areas of human endeavor. Fellows are trained in generalist skill sets that span the technical, personal, social, organizational, and entrepreneurial. For our immersion program, we are currently looking for Fellows who as a team combine to a diverse skill set. At the same time, Fellows self-select to maintainer positions as process managers in different areas based on the Fellows interests, as long as the roles are aligned with the Critical Path. Fellows will choose the area of their specialization, such that they commit approximately 25% of their development to running Extreme Manufacturing / Extreme Learning workshops.
