2018

We are hiring!

We are hiring for part time and full time positions running our 3D printer Extreme Manufacturing build workshops. We are looking for people who can teach and who are technical. Check us out at one of our 3D printer builds or other workshops. If you want to join the team - attend one of our workshops, attend our Boot Camp, and then serve as an apprentice - an assistant in running future workshops. We teach you hands-on how to lead a build workshop - up to the point where you are comfortable leading the workshop yourself.

We teach you OSE techniques in depth in our 1 week OSE Boot Camp. For those who are interested in a deeper immersion into our development techniques or the opportunity to work with OSE full time - see Immersion Training.

Sign up for one of our workshops below, or email us at info at opensourceecology dot org for more info.

These are free, but the annual compilation of them is offered on a USB or a one-click download. Requirement - must be doing at least one part of their work that is essentially aligned with the open source economy, though not expecting that their work is completely aligned.

Consulting, Speaking, and Events

Do you want us to run a workshop, presentation, or do a speaking engagement, or other in-person appearance? Featuring Marcin Jakubowski Catarina Mota on OSE/OBI, Tom Griffing - Power Cube, Shane Oberloier - CNC circuit mill.

  • Speaker, Workshop, or event Request Form
  • Consulting and design work - OSE and OBI at $100 per hour for any project related to manufacturing, mining, agriculture, forestry, construction, and energy topics. Any designs, content, or publications are put under an open source, Distributive Enterprise license.

Crowd Funding

  • We are offering 50/50 revenue share on crowdfunding collaboration for anyone who would like to collaborate with our content, expertise and brand to crowdfunding a project related to the Civilization Starter Kit roadmap. The idea is that we have a number of fungible projects, and it takes more than our own effort to execute them. Collaborators are expected to follow OSE Documentation Standards for Developers.

Crowd Dev

  • Design Sprints - requires Design Sprint training. Both real and virtual events.
  • Real Design Sprint - 3 day event in major cities. Day 1 - build a 3d printer, fimament maker, circuit mill, and laser cutter. Day 2 - run machines and learn their toolchainss. Day 3 - use FreeCAD/KiCAD to design and prototype new machines + controllers in scale models from plastic and cardboard/balsa. Day 3 includes a collection of prototyping supplies that yields valuable scale prototypes such as robotic tractors and cars. We deploy the microfab army for collaborative scale prototyping.
  • Book Sprints - requires Book Sprint Training. Both real and virtual events.
  • Download 3D Printer Design Workbench and design a new printer iteration. Workbench even generates a BOM for you.
  • Download OBI Dev Kit and design your dream home. Or Aquaponic Greenhouse.
  • Come to our workshop to learn how to build the OBI Arch Kit models. Both House and Greenhouse.
  • Download OBI Design Workbench (coming in June) and do a Design Contest on HeroX. Winner entry is built.
  • Read the Book. From it, draw up a list of SMEs and reach out to them.
  • Download OSE Arc Kit and submit house ideas to OBI. Download OSE Linux, render Your Dream House ideas in SweetHome3D - and upload them to our library. Then you can vote for an annual winner, where we pick the top User Contribution and consider that house for a build.

Strategy

  • $5k+matching funds crowdsourced for HeroX development on a monthly or 3 month cycle initially
