Intro

  • Develops a product for opensourcewarehouse.org
  • Starts with template on wiki
  • Template requires sound design skill
  • Embeds kit.com
  • Prints the product in online factory
  • Workshops with 12+ people are organized
  • Code s embeddable for anyone else
  • Most of revenue comes from education workshops.
  • Printing is paid - cost of 10 cents per day with unheated bed
  • Octoprint Online store
  • Revenue of $50/day/printer running full time. Cluster of 4 printers yields $200/day production
  • For 12 part kits - $600 per 3 days

Collaboration Architecture

  • Skill set: editing wiki, going through basic design process of 20 steps
  • Going through production/prototyping process - test prints
  • Embedding in wiki
  • Generating Kit.com
  • Embedding print in Octoprint interface after print testing
  • About page
  • Flyer
  • Flyer for schools
  • Sign up for a build - email us once there are 12 people
  • Flyer for Extreme Design Jam to continue iterations
  • HeroX posting with crowd funding for a valuable product
  • Dev Log maintenance
  • FB live reporting
  • 48 people signed up for Sprint is a requirement. Cost is $5 to join broadcast. Goes to organizing cost. Sprint Organizer gets paid. Sprint Organizer is Trained.
  • Later iterations - massive multiplayer online game. Where you design the machines. With Arduino simulator and others.
  • Unknown - how do you track micro-contributions - perennial question unresolved
  • Upon reaching 48 sign ups it happens - otherwise no go.
  • Training for Design Sprint Managers
  • Training for Design Sprint participants. OSE Linux required.
  • Clear collaboration Architecture steps are required, as guided by a skilled person. Time commitment of 8 hours required, for people to both learn and execute. Reward is the learning from the best. Process must be tested.
  • Base contract: promise to collaborate. We promise to deliver an economically significant product. Or possibly just its design, followed by a Design Build Jam. 100 people collaborate. Final product is a Workshop Manual, and a teachers' guide. 50 pages each.
