OSE Fellows Good Standing

From Open Source Ecology
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Performance criteria for remaining in good standing are:

  1. producing required parts with the microfactory, inventorying, and preparing for workshops
  2. executing workshops successfully and meeting quotas - including finishing builds successfully in a timely manner, as well as receiving a minimum of 3 of 5 star reviews from workshop participants on the Workshop Review Form
  3. engaging in further R&D effectively towards successful quarterly product releases
  4. engaging in personal development, by spending 5 hours weekly (on top of a 40 hour week) on other reading and learning that helps you do your work better or become a better person - by learning insights and skills and becoming a whole person

Workshop Preparation

Part of workshop preparation involves printing and cutting parts using the 3D printer, laser cutter, CNC circuit mill, and other power tools such as an abrasive cutoff saw. In addition, Fellows will have to have space available for cutting and welding steel frames using a small portable welder unit. Preparation also includes generating feedstock 3D printing filament from the plastic waste stream. We will collaborate on developing proven formulas for producing 3D printing filament from various scrap plastic or plastic pellet feedstocks.

To this end - all of the Fellow's machines must be maintained in good working order, and Fellows must dedicate space in their home or garage for this purpose. Ventillation is required for 3D printing, laser cutting, CNC milling, and welding.

Participant Quotas

Certain productivity quotas must be met on a monthly basis. The

  • Bare minimum - 10 XM or 3-4 XE builds are required as a bare minimum. This is not financially sustainable, and we must collaborate to improve this performance.
  • Desired outcome - 20 XM or 7-8 XE build are the desired outcome. This allows OSE to cover all of its operating costs in order to grow as an organization.
  • Optimal outcome - the optimal outcome that allows for a bonus is more than 20 XM or 8 XE builds.

R&D Work

Team meetings for Fellows occur as the daily standup, in which we go over current progress. Clear and visible burndown must occur on a weekly basis - with about 8% weekly burndown required for the 12 week quarterly product release cycle. Note that burndown is not linear - with the final completion (90 to 100) being potentially more difficult than the burndown at the beginning of a project.
