Model: $250 per person
Clarity: we provide experience and education, not products. We also include manufacturing in terms of building community and
Connection is larger mission of OSE
Cheaper build is not relevant to Alex. Beccause bigger part is community
$800 entry point is too high for printer
Dixon - reuse kits. Cheaper build is not relevant.
Ferdie - if cheap, get china stuff
Dixon, Ferdie - ecology is the deal. Focus should be suite of machines. Promoting the modularity.
Ferdie- good prints + modularity
Sharpen focus on what is transformational - thin line between critical path - vs interchange or transformation that happens in a person.
Alex. 3 transfo points - (1) We can own the means of production. This was something that was not within my reach. (2) It's not rocket science to be an engineer. Being an engineer is accessible. (3) I don't have to do it alone.
To Alex, (1) above is unique to OSE. That it's part of GVCS is unique. Ethical higher ground is not present. OSE's mission point for Alex is: building tools that people can build their world.
Fab Academy is a programming boot camp for open hardware. Fab Academy focuses on individual. OSE focuses on the community.
Fab Academy you work alone. OSE is collaborative development.
If you build it you own it. You know how to fix it. If you build this you can build something else.
Fab academy is a competitor.
Unique value - all CAD is available. To Ferdie, not to Alex.
