This applies to Dedicated Project Visits on site at Factor e Farm, as well as to Dedicated Remote Collaboration.

Main Points

Requirements of each party

• Unfurnished accommodations will be provided. FeF will provide bedding or any related comforts via crowdsourcing from supporters with assistance from DPV participant.
• FeF will provide utilities and internet. We are off-grid, so energy conservation is important, and the DPV participant agrees to turn off lights and computers whenever not in use.
• The DPV participant is expected to cover their own food expenses. There is a grocery store 1 mile away.
• The entertainment provided is quiet existence in farm country. The DPV participant agrees to stay on site for the week.
• The work week involves:
  • documenting the daily Scrum effort in the workshop 6 hours per day, or any other relevant activity - towards full documentation of project progress
  • Suggested documentation strategy involves small clips with diverse content rather than fewer longer clips.
  • Daily upload of 500MB of select footage to YouTube or other suitable repository (please check in with Ian) is required in off-hours, M-F, (regular upload started at night every day for 2-5 hours of upload time) to promote remote video editing by guest contributors. This is intended to involve remote assistance in video editing. We currently have a 3MB DSL line, upgradeable to 4MB.
• Saturdays involve group work of site cleanup, lunch with visitors if any visitors signed up for a work day, house construction for new participants, or seasonal agriculture plantout/harvest - unless otherwise noted. Work hours on Saturday are for 6 hours when the above tasks are needed.

Work Plan

The work plan for the first month is, on a weekly basis:

1. Production of a Weekly Update Blog Post

Documentation

A DPV position is a full time effort, and all full time people are required to spend 15 minutes per day to document ongoing progress. All progress is visible to the world from the XM Project Page. The purpose is to allow the global community to track, assess, and become involved in the progress of each project with zero barrier to entry. The intent is to increase velocity by involving both the on-site FeF Team and the global community. Documentation requirements include:

• The Daily Standup - eveyone participates. It will be uploaded to YouTube, and each person reports on progress - work done yesterday, plan for today, issues encountered.
• A daily vlog, should not be longer than 1 minute in length. The focus of the Vlog will be updates on progress, with a particular focus on inviting collaboration and suggestion of ways to get involved - starting with putting tasks on the Task Board and executing them in order for a person to join the team. The vlog should be uploaded via smart phone to marcinose YouTube. The Control Interface feeds this automatically into the 8th window of the Aaron_log/XM_Project_Page_Prototype_2. The DPV participant will obtain access to the marcinose YouTube channel and upload. Remote participants may participate in the Daily Standup by joining an online video conference channel.
• Task Board. Participant is required to track tasks on the Task Board by writing down tasks in To Do column, and acting on tasks - In Progress, then requesting Verification from Product Owner, and then placing tasks in the Done column. The Done column is erased after every Sprint, and all tasks tracked remain in the Status Log.
• Status Log. All Completed tasks are logged in the Status Log. All steps will be documented in the main log sheet, and the main log sheet log will be fed automatically into a separate sheet for each person - to distinguish contributions by team member for easy assessment of velocity. This is the place where every single person should have one or more tasks done every day, and completions should be transparent for immediate assessment of every team member by anyone.
• Work Product. The results of a DPV's work should also be in the Status Log as an actual link to wiki page, or other resource.

Open IP

• All DPV participants agree that OSE becomes the owner of all IP generated by the participant - for the purpose of OSE dedicating all IP into the Public Domain, or Creative Commons CC0 License, unless otherwise agreed upon in writing as an addendum to this agreement.
