Collaborate with us on instructionals for the Power Cube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTgbTXERSWY. It's your last chance to register for the Power Cube Workshop - http://bit.ly/1A3ncCT
Only 10 days left to register for the Power Cube Workshop. Our goal is to build 6 Power Cubes over the weekend. The modular design is streamlined, and the parallel build process is refined. If this works like we think, it's a major step forward on our community-based production model. Can this be the fuel for right livelihood creation by the masses? http://bit.ly/1A3ncCT
Noisebridge: Friends,
Open Source Ecology is developing Extreme Manufacturing techniques and our next milestone is to build 6 Power Cubes over the weekend with a team of 12 people. This workshop is coming up in 10 days. The modular design is streamlined, the parallel build process is refined, and immersion training is ready. If this works like we think, it's a major step forward on our community-based production model. Can this be the fuel for right livelihood creation by the masses?
We are exploring this question. If anyone is interested in learning to organize/lead this type of workshop - the workshop model is open source. We invite you to participate as the first step if you are interested in replicating the model. The revenue model is product sales and workshop tuitions. If you would like to participate in making open source history, there are a few spots left. Kansas City location - register and find out more at http://bit.ly/1A3ncCT.
For transparency - we think there is great potential to expand such a model if real goods are produced in an event that combines education and production into one. We are innovating on this front. If the good produced is a large market item - this model has the potential to impact manufacturing on a large scale. We are showing that efficient production and quality control can occur at the quantity of one (or several), and our aim is to make this model highly replicable.
Thanks, Marcin

https://www.facebook.com/groups/napermacultureconvergence/ - The Miracle Orchard workshop is coming up on July 25-26 at Open Source Ecology for those interested in the nuts and bolts of perennial polyculture orchards - beyond organic. We are planning on the first Les Fermes Miracle Farms model orchard in the USA as an outcome, so anyone interested in replicating this work is welcome.

Noisebridge FB - Hi Noisebridge friends - are you interested in collaborating on workshops? We run mictrotractor builds and other events - this may be interesting to you - for example - wood powered mictrotractor - http://opensourceecology.org/gasifier-and-biochar-workshop/
Hackerspaces FB page - Announcing a Documentation Sprint where we produce instructionals for the latest stable version of the open source Power Cube - v15.6 - to be built in our upcoming workshop - http://bit.ly/1A3ncCT. For the Documentation Sprint - we are meeting this Friday, 5 PM CST USA time on the OSE Hangout. Instructions for how to participate in this documentation sprint are summarized in this explainer video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTgbTXERSWY
Hammerspace FB - Dear Hammerspace, we'd like to consider collaborating on immersion build workshops on the open source carbon-negative microtractor powered by charcoal - or other similar topics. Are you interested in hosting a microtractor build at your place? This is a link - http://opensourceecology.org/gasifier-and-biochar-workshop/

Hi Public Lab people - we will be holding a workshop that includes converting aerial photos to geolocated maps in our Open Source Mapping and Site Design Workshop. We will have at least one aerial drone - but we are interested in having more drones on site to get more detailed coverage. Would any people in your audience be interested in this course? We can offer 25% off the workshop cost to those who bring a drone equipped with camera to help collect data. Please see http://bit.ly/1FnPVhm and pass this on to your audience.
Ouishare Factory FB - For anyone interested in hands-on crash courses in fabrication, we are deploying a build of our carbon negative open source microtractor powered by local biomass. This workshop may mark a turning point for a smaller machine in Open Source Ecology's set - which can have wider popular appeal. See http://bit.ly/1Ic8aZ
Tweeted: Did you ever see a carbon-negative, open source Micro-Tractor that runs on locally harvested biomass? http://bit.ly/1Ic8aZ4
Peter Donovan, info@soilcarboncoalition.org - Hi Peter, I found out about your project from Dorn Cox at Farmhack. I am the founder of Open Source Ecology, and I am wondering if you have any resources regarding continuous charcoal production for making biochar. We are building a carbon negative, open source microtractor powered by char - and intend to use that regularly. For that to be realistic, we would like to build a continuous biochar production system. Do you have any insights on individuals who can assist in this - and who believe in open source design? And by the way, if you can pass the biochar microtractor workshop announcement on to your network, that would be great. http://bit.ly/1Ic8aZ4
