Target Audience for STEAM Camps

Intro

We estimate the market size for relocalization towards circular economies to be around $30T, the size of the primary and secondary sectors of the economy (see Google Presentation for tipping point calculation towards a collaborative, open economy). As such, this affords the possibility of large scale collaboration towards transforming the economy towards open and collaborative, as in the OSE Vision. The Open Source Microfactory Mastermind would be a dedicated groups of open, collaborative developers who are interested in being owner-operators of enterprises in a local, circular economy. They collaborate globally, and have lofty ideals, and build locally so they don't sit on armchair theory.

Areas of OSE development include the Open Source Microfactory STEAM Camps for broadscale participation in collaborative design, the Summer of Extreme Design-Build focusing on larger-scale prototyping, and Incentive Challenges for Distributive Enterprise development.

For the STEAM Camps, we are recruiting instructors and marketing to participants. The working question is clear definition of the target audience. Here are some notes.

Open Source Microfactory Mastermind

What we work on and how we work:

1. We agree on a product roadmap
2. Product strategy - we develop product strategy for each product
3. Marketing strategy -
4. Owner Operators - producers in local economies who move up in management over time
5. Any investor is required to also be an operator until finalized production is defined
6. Community not for community sake but for transformative movement entrepreneurship
7. Teacher/builder/researcher. No basic research - applied product research for accountability to closed loop material cycles at the community scale
8. Open source version of Fab City
9. Collaborative version of Fab Academy
10. People who envision common products being made in their own community, so that we reach the circular economy
11. Distributed, open marketing templates, like Clickfunnels but open source and distributive
12. Profile - disposable income higher than average. Looking for meaningful work with purpose. Sideline to full time. Interested in sharing knowledge. Has courage sufficient to share source code of economic value (product design, production engineering, product strategy, business plan). Is interested in ethical systems transformation without compromising to adapt to system (The Unreasonable Man) Understands societal critique without invoking victim mentality (They are out to get you. Who are 'They'?) See Juice Rap News 30.
13. Possible profile - libre hacker ethical cooperator (distinct from supercooperators, who have no limits to working outside of their own cultural base)
14. Possible profile - open-minded Fab shop owner who wants to diversify their range of services, but needs to learn more about open collarative protocols
15. Possible profile - ethical entrepreneur who questions structural evil and has a successful business that participates in Structural Evil to the least extent possible.
16. Someone who is well versed in systems-based conceptualization of structural evil, and has the ambition to transform it more than the ambition to benefit from it. Has the wisdom to distinguish enterprise that can move the dial (ethical scalability), vs pursuing fringe movements that do not consider systems thinking or are violent in their nature.
