do you want to create the next economy - based on open collaboration - by learning the skills of ececution to get there?
which leaves nobody behind - by providing new possibilities - and opportu ities to match them? do yoolu want ti work in open source - collaborative development - full time? we ahve vreated an opporrunity to do exacrly this.
we are pleased ti aanounce oir firat eve 6 month immersion program
how can we build so much in so little time? with collaborative, modular design, and swarm builds. We have developed breakthroigh tevhniques of rapid collaborative design and buuld,,,whixh reduces prototyping cycles frim months to days. we learnee how to work glibally with remote collaborators, and to leverage inventive challenges, criwd fumding, and hackathons for rapid bilds. now you have achanve to learn all this - frim design principles and design guides to Cad to 3d printi g ro heavt macgines and houso g - in a rapid learning crash course setting. i wish i had an opportunity like this when i eas starting out - but it didnt exist, so we had to create it.
the program focuses around the Seed ecoHome - which is a robust revenue model. The product involves design, supporting machines, the aquaponic greenhouse, and most importantly - techniquea fir global, open ciplaboration designed to solve housing.
The day to day involves...1+3+4. eenings are te optional enterprise track for those who xhoose it. k - and sarurdays are explicit days of video, documemtation, global collaboration an incentuvr challenge design - focusing on involving others in this world-changing work.
Now this wonr be easy - it requites the psycholigical growth to embody the full value of open - with the potential of collabortive creation of genius. edison said, 1-99% - and tats how it works. the convepts and ideas are easy - but the execution is dear. an din oir program, youre not doing it alone. we are all in it together - in the real locak abd global sense - si we help each othe grow, teavh each other, and avail all our info to others. doing tjis sucvessfully means that we learn cilla orative literacy - to work openly, transparently, and effectively. weve soent years refini g techniques of how to do this - and thats how we are braking the airon triangle of cost-speed-and quality.
The economics of our hous ebuild model are simplesi.ple-$50k+50k. thid allows OSE to bootstrap its progam via programmaric revenue. We wouod like to hire all successul grads coming out of our 6 month program. Jow much we pay deoend on what skills you come in with and what skills you learn
we have am tracks from build/fabtication to design to build managent to organizing events to business development.
Out of te program, you'll lewrn to buuld the full Seed eco home. you will have achance to focus on buulding machines - or the organizational tra k where you learn to organize builds and run them - more thee xexutive track. these responsibilitues are worth between $35-65/hr starting + bonus - you set your own pay based on what skills ypu certify with. $45 gets you to running crews and production management -or remote crews and hackathons. $65/hf heta you organizing events - real and virtual.
were looking for supercooperators - no payents and collaborative mindset. if you think thta you can do better on your own the
n this program may not be for you. but were not communists - were not vapitalists - we are open sourve ecologists - intereste in the open soirve economy - in glbal housekeeping - solving all problems faster than they are created. do you know tat economics reallyean housekeeping? thus wors as beem perverted to speculation and externalization of true costs - at the deteemt of humans amd natire.
so there it is. here is an oportu ity dor you to yransform your index of possibilities, pursue full meaning in life, grow yoir skill set in more ways than you proba ly imagined - and cha ge the world wjile ela lving nobody behind - with open hard ware tech ology and u leashed open collaboration.
do you want to collaborate and change the world - th a team of supercooperators who are creating the next econimy?
an economy based on open cillaboration a the next norm - beyond proprietary development?
then we have a chanve for you to get invilved in this full time. welcome to the world of collaborative design.
for tej last decade...
Now you have an opportunity to download all that we ave learned, and do open sourve work for a living.
in the 6 months, you will gain basic mastery of ipen source design and buuld. we are building upon our modular, construction set approach. you see, the next innovation shpuld not take years: it takes only as much time as determined by thr prior art recorded. All of our work is on the wiki - and you can start develioibg - exactly where we left off. You just need a basic skill in FreeVAD, Wikis, crowd editable docs, rapid prototyping eith 3D printing, and basic skills of cillaborative literacy that allow you to fund all prior work in seconds - and to involve others in a colaborativ process.
The day to day is...and Saturday is Global Collaboratiin day - as we seed an incentive challenge on HeroX - part of our work to solve housing. The challenge kicks off Sep 1, an goes for 6 months - an delivers a fully open source, large format 3D printer to produce consteuction materials from trash.
Saturdays invilvr incentive challenge creation and other global collab dev - like the Extreme Enterprise Hackathon.

Priorities
Financial Model
- $10k tuition, sponsored. Part of sponsorship is mentorship from qualified mentors. OSE vets the mentors and funders.
- Larger investment for a workshop facility beyond a garage operation.
- Design for $3k/month starting revenue for partners
- Collaborators are welcome to go off on their own as independent entrepreneurs, but we would like them to work together as they see a bigger picture.
- We teach the bigger picture in the Culture Week.
- We choose whom we would like to work with as entrepreneurs. So it is incentivized for added revenue. Those who want more ambition are encouraged to make improvements that keep the revenue streams expanding to other products of the $840B market share.
Notes
Priorities for immersion program - Immersion Program Video, technology, marketing, admin, curriculum. We teach people to run workshops. That in itself is a challenge - it requires:
- Ability to source parts
- produce prints for future workshops
- Understand the technology in order to teach the design workbench in freecad
- Ability to implement the basic development template for tracking a project, including burn down
- We offer a 1-day MBA with future ability for continuing training on the entrepreneurship development track
- Standard track is the open-source product development track
- The successful graduating mustard us produce a small cluster of 2 or four 3D printers
- The rapid prototyping capacity must be included with a circuit Mill and laser cutter and plastic recycler so that during any Extreme Design Sprint, we have a full infrastructure for Designing, prototyping, and producing. Are Hallmark is an integrated value creation process.
- Cost of the program should be high to provide the serious commitment and resources necessary for success. All the money invested goes to improving the quality of the program and improving its infrastructure both physical, and learning environment.
- We may need to differentiate between the open-source ecologist track and the open-source product development track. As best we are able to recruit open-source ecologists successfully. However that is a challenge based on our ability to Market our program successfully. One way to attain the marketing is to work with tech centers, skillsUSA, FIRST Robotics teachers and their high schools, public events at tech centers. And HeroX challenge for the cordless drill construction set.
- Collaborate with Josh on creating immersion entrepreneurship training. This could be for entrepreneurs who hired doctors, or doctors themselves. The Common Ground is the indispensable Enterprise training that any individual must have.
- The biggest value that osc proposes is its ethical brand. Part of that is the ecological, integrated, Systems thinking approach which values and eclectic Viewpoint as a key element of a solution for a broken and dysfunctional set of infrastructures that currently run civilization.
- This can attract students based on ideology, however the ideology must be matched with pragmatism and a skill set, as well as the antifragility of a growth mindset.
- As such the most valuable properties of our candidates are clearly the mindset, for learning, eclectic approach, and the ethics to sustain a good direction.
- What are the realistic expectations of how many people we can attract to the immersion program? How do we create a clear exit strategy. How to create a clear innocentive strategy? Possibly go from 3 to $6,000 per month, as independent contractors.
Wed Mar 28, 2018 - Immersion Notes
- D3D Future Work March 2018.
- Tech dev. Required for release. Clear development schedule needs to be maintained.
- In person interview is required.
- July - DPV on site vets people - 2 week session. With 4 candidates on site to do builds. Candidates are those applying for immersion program. Test is for mindset. Mindset can be developed by experience.
- Application has a cost associated with it as a first vetting. Requirement is joining Dev Team.
- High cost of entry. Balanced with partial refundability for unsuccessful entry. Partial to cover costs incurred.
- Goal of 6 full time effort by end of year. Join Dev Team. We build you a house in 2 years if you stay with us. Refinance your mortgage and free up your money. This is intended to drive cost of housing down in any city. Our goal is to master urban building in this case. We provide a complete lifestyle package of buying out at th bottom, esteem required.
- Dev Template - Value Proposition. Cost comparison to ndustry standards. This is a key element for preventing defection. Clarity on the different points of improvement make it clear that a specific OSE development yields a a higher return. Indeed, each OSE Spec point should be quantified for the amount of added value, based on specific examples. Similar to what Dr. Pearce did for 'value of 3d printing.'
- It is critical to refine the OSPD method to a higher level to make it a unique Value. That is a prerequisite for alignment, creation of University programs, creation of curricula, etc.
- Alignment is one of the key issues that we need to resolve. Because we value freedom, we can provide only voluntary incentives, not compulsory ones. This is why writing the book is critical for alignment. We still need to get people.on the same page, because our culture is different from war.

Build Yourself. Build Your World.
The Open Source Ecology Eco-Tractor workshop is an immersion experience where we will build a working tractor - and more - over a weekend:
<img src="http://opensourceecology.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/mt3.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="400" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-9732" />
If more than 18 people sign up for the workshop, then we will also build a:
Here is some prior work from 2 years ago. The largest machine that we built was 71 hp so far. We did not yet build the 164 hp machine discussed in the video: <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dGp4zrRpEs8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Some of the specifications are:
The design focuses on minimizing part count and integrating the design with other machines of the Global Village Construction Set (GVCS). As such, we are using Nema 17 stepper motors and 6mm GT2 belt - the same as on our 3D printer. This pushes the limits of modularity and scalabilility - reducing overall GVCS parts count significantly. See one of the 5' axes being built - [embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOH03vzDYQg[/embed] We will be using this type of carriage with metal plates to provide rigidity while allowing the use of 3D printed parts: <img src="http://opensourceecology.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/carraoge.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="638" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-9703" /> A Scalable, Modular Construction Set for Tractors Construction Set Design To create a Construction Set - we designed a small set of modules that can be reconfigured. The core parts include power cubes, the Universal Rotor, tracks, frames, and hydraulics modules. We are designing with the absolute simplicity in mind, such that machines can be maintained for a lifetime of use. Our parts count of about 100 unique parts for the entire tractor is lower than anything available on the market. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=5&v=q3xQtt5IZrw Using this Universal Axis and taking advantage of the Construction Set approach, we have already built a number of these machines: <img src="http://opensourceecology.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/tractor_3-300x206.png" alt="" width="300" height="206" class="size-medium wp-image-7717" /> Inforgraphic by Jean-Baptiste Vervaeck[/caption][caption id="attachment_8177" align="alignnone" width="300"]<img src="http://opensourceecology.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/pc71-300x207.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="207" class="size-medium wp-image-8177" /> Power Cube infographic.[/caption]<img src="http://opensourceecology.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/OSE-gasifier-2015-infographic-907x624pc-v1-6a-300x206.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="206" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-9049" /><img src="http://opensourceecology.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/OSE-microtrac-2015-infographic-907x624px1-300x206.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="206" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-8986" /> Lowest Unique Part Count in the World The beauty lies in an absolute minimum number of parts that can be used to build an infinite variety of heavy machines - depending on size, axis configuration, and implements heads. The unique part count is in general around only 100 parts, which is about 5 times less than anything available commercially. By making our machines simple and universal, we are aiming for the most widely replicated tractor construction set in the world. There are no constructio sets for tractors out there yet. To that end, we are inviting developers and entrepreneurs to join the <a href="http://opensourceecology.org/wiki/OSE_Developers">OSE Development Team</a>. This workshop intends build upon OSE's <a href="http://opensourceecology.org/wiki/Extreme_Manufacturing">Extreme Manufacturing</a> approach of rapid building with multiple teams working in parallel on modular components. By simplifying the design and streamlining the build with digitally-fabricated, open source parts - we intend to develop a model where several of our tractors can be produced in a single day by a team of people. Our goal is to develop open source microfactories for distributed production - using the Experience Economy and Social Production. We are also developing an open source enterprise model for how to run extreme build workshops anywhere in the world. We are publishing our enterprise model openly, with all supporting information that helps people in a successful startup - without reinventing the wheel. We will also be offering 6 week immersion training where strong candidates can learn to replicate our workshops to start a small business. Workshop Expectations This workshop is experimental, and not a turnkey product. We have significant experience with the topics covered, but surprises always come up in an experimental build. We have thorough CAD documentation of the machine. We have built 10 prototype tractors already. But surprises do come up in ambitious builds like ours. No matter what - we will build it - and we will drive it. Whether we complete the solar drive option, the charcoal fuel option (gasifier), and the computer vision - is up to us. [embed]https://vimeo.com/23785186[/embed] While we have done extensive design work, and prototyped the different parts - this workshop is a first complete build. Expect to problem solve - and learn a lot in the process. This is an immersion learning experience in design and build. The worst case achievement scenario would be that we get the automated machine going in the xy plane - so we an cut steel with it, but we may not have the torch height controller installed, nor automatic gas turn-on so that the oxygen will have to be turned on manually for cutting metal. In the ideal scenario, we will implement fully automatic control, including height control, automatic gas turn-on, and automatic flame ignition. We will practice cutting on sample 1/4" and 1/2" thick steel. The first day covers use of FreeCAD, and explanation of the design rationale for the CNC torch including all its components, and why we made the choices that we did. We will teach participants the basics of FreeCAD - literacy in manipulating 3D objects as well as modifying their geometry. We will provide an introduction to KiCad for electronics design - of the CNC torch height controller. We will have 2-4 3D printers printing during the workshop to produce additional parts (cable chain + other parts). How far will we get to completion? It's up to us. The risk factors are system integration from proven parts. If you want an immersion lesson in FreeCAD, please make sure to download the <a href="http://opensourceecology.org/wiki/OSE_Linux">OSE Linux</a>, which can be run on your computer from a USB stick without interfering with your operating system. This Linux has the FreeCAD and other software that is necessary to work with the CNC torch table. If you use the OSE Linux, it will be guaranteed that there are no software issues getting in the way of your learning. While we do not require prior skill to join this workshop - the more skill that we have in the team of participants, the better will be the result. We expect people to work together as a team for a common goal, and we like it when participants teach one another new skills. For development work, we invite our participants to join our <a href="http://opensourceecology.org/wiki/OSE%20Developers">development team</a>. During the workshop itself - expect to do some problem solving - as building a machine of high complexity typically has surprises. The intended audience for this workshop is hackers - people who want to get their hands dirty - who are interested in the design and build of hardware. The intended audience is anyone interested in exploring the meaning of Open Source Product Development. We've been pioneering techniques of collaborative development for several years. But be prepared - this is not for the faint-hearted. Our facility is raw and crude - a farm in the middle of nowhere, Missouri. By attending, you are helping us carry out our open source development mission. Bring a Friend for Free We also have a 2-for-1 offer . You are welcome to bring one friend or family member with you for free.

Participants become engaged in a part of OSE’s development process, where we produce open source blueprints for the infrastructures of civilization. Participants are introduced to basic principles of collaborative literacy - how the collaborative mindset can be used to solve wicked problems. This workshop is intended for people interested in immersion, hands-on skills training and practical results. We are especially seeking participants with an entrepreneurial mindset to expand open source production into the mainstream. We are exploring the potential of open source economics by determining the limits of social production: can distributed, collaborative, community supported manufacturing (CSM) be an alternative to centralized factories? The overall workshop is designed for people interested in transitioning from consumer to producer. We welcome both complete novices and those with experience. The critical part is willingness to learn. By joining this workshop, you have an opportunity to be part of a community interested in developing products collaboratively and open source, so that everyone can benefit. OSE's goal is to promote right livelihood using open source - and part of that is starting enterprises. We are promoting the concept of <a href="http://opensourceecology.org/wiki/Distributive_Enterprise">distributive enterprise</a>. Have questions? Drop us an email: info at opensourceecology dot org
