Intro
This is an assessment to determine whether a certain project qualifies for collaboration with Open Source Ecology within the framework of a Distributive Enterprise. OSE products follow a Product Selection Metric
Assessment
For a positive assessement, these are the requirement:
- Does the device itself, or products that can be produced with this device - command at least a $1B global market? The market must be significant, meaning that the product can be considered for scalable, Distributed Market Substitution
- Is the license OSHWA and OSI compliant? Must comply with economic freedom. NC and P2P licenses do not qualify.
- Does the product lend itself to distributed manufacturing, or can it be modified to be produced in a distributed way? (Easy sourcing, common materials, Distributed Qaulity Control)
- Does the product fit with OSE Product Ecologies to create a Civilization Starter Kit or Global Village Construction Set?
Other Useful Points
- Is there an open source community around the project?
- Is the community or its leaders interested in collaboration?
