Intro

From Matt Maier:

Perhaps Open Source Ecology can use this new x-prize-for-the-rest-of-us platform for the GVCS. Development is already organized in an extremely similar way. http://io9.com/introducing-herox-a-way-to-crowdfund-your-very-own-x-1583351427

Basically, OSE would create a GVCS challenge, or maybe a challenge for one machine (6-18 months), and then people would compete to win the prize.

OSE Strategy

Design for (Df) 3D printing
Df sourcing - one-click order ability either through existing platforms or ordering automation augmented/artificial intelligence
Df DIY buildability
Df scalability
Df modularity
Df lifetime
Df screw machine CNC fabrication of gears (advanced)
Hyperledger or ripple
Df distributed manufacturing - includes online open source platform for 3D printing in distributed locations as part of automatic drop ship fulfillment of kits
Includes Design Guide in phase 2
Includes scale model in phase 2.

Functional Modules ideas are crowdsourced
Design selection is modular, simply have too nform to interface standards. The interface itself must be defined at that appropriate level.
Judging is based on the modules level. Requirements should be specific so solution is degenerate. People are encouraged to submit just the modules for partial prizes. This is intended to encourage others to build upon othsrs' work. Only prototyped parts are accepted as eligible. Only final products are accepted in their entirety.
Judging includes tooling. 3D printed Grinder for the open source screw machine using a Dremel. External gears are easy. Or do belt drive reduction, no machined gears.
