  • 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. For example - the FreeCAD exemplifies the access - the more the better.
  • 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.
  • Cordless drills or scissors are not relevant. But build all the tools to make a mover's supply. So reframe around community enterprises.
  • We still do cordless drill - but we package it around community enterprise or function.
  • People gotta see stuff happening
  • Transformation economy -
