Goals (and therefore metric checklist) of the workshop are:

  1. Deliver a quality education program, including full video capture, manual, and livestream.
  2. Secure apprentice to run workshops in the future
  3. Demonstration of triple revenue model, where education itself or product itself is self-sustaining for OSE bootstrapping. Implies that surplus can go to further R&D and to making the event itself better. 3 sources: product sale; workshop tuition; remote subscription ($25 or more).
  4. Produce definitive documentation: language agnostic instructional
  5. Produce digital fabrication package that allows any custom fabricator to build the entire physical machine in about 20 hours (half of non-digital fabrication time)
  6. Produce a digital fabrication package that allows any layperson to outsource work completely to build a machine
  7. Produce 100 brick presses within 6 months of workshop (CAM files, incubation, OSE outsourcing of fab)
  8. Publish a Replication Map on new website for CEB press, and invite people to document their replications
  9. Curriculum covers nuts and bolts of developer-level contributions, while itself is an enjoyable survey that shows people how to do stuff. Generation of CAM files for laser cutters and CNC torch table; animations from CAD, generation of CAM from CAD, templates, RFPs, file manipulation to generate aimations + CAM + renderings + visual BOMs, graphics, instructionals, video, and others.
  10. Develop 1 tool for Crowd Engineering - creation of an animated machine walkthrough video.
  11. Publish paper copy of manual
