Session 7: Aug 15, 2019

Agenda:

Challenge Island Update
Incentive Challenge Brief - creative version done, need to do the more technical version
STEAM Camp Business Model - budget so far, organizational operations missing
STEAM Camp Curriculum

Notes

get into conversations that can help shape the vision - maybe nuanced difference, and it may be better, or bigger
Get people who want to be a part of the vision, rather than those who we hire. Partner not employee.
We want to find PARTNERS - truly freeing up the
Those are my words, but not my actions so far
S says that from TED Talk to now - expected notion of os to be further by now. What held me back was to be truly been collaborative with partners.
A few partners will give me a lot of fuel - 1, not hypothetical but real power of collab, 2, hit new milestones that I wouldn't have to now, and 3, and advocate from personal belief, not a theory
I was proud of saying, 'and I had to do it myself' - I shouldn't be proud of that
God giving wife this moment is a challenge to see if I can do it - to get help
And explain why I need them, and koz of my wife
There is a line in The Martian - i was left on mars, and I had to solve the next urgent problem.
We were spending so much time on the big plan, we need collab to get there
Collaborate with people who can move the needle

Session 6 - Jul 23, 2019

Updates: Challenge Island, STEAM Camp, Promo Video, Documentary
Roadmap/Critical Path detailing starting with Judging Criteria - OSE Incentive Challenge Critical Path
Time Budget - from S_Mentor_Assessment#Time_budget
Clarity on Next Steps and Milestones for next meeting

Next steps:

Brief for Incentive Challenge; examine how HeroX does it
Questions for Challenge Island phonecall
STEAM Camp business model
Curriculum Detail. 4+5 days. What does it look like. Quickly get this to STEAM instructors. It's for Instructors, we cultivate them as entrepreneurs. While developing Tech That Matters.

think about Challenge Island questions
People take a product home. Such as D3D Simple.
Price control of workshop model - smaller projects allow for much tighter cost prediction
Issue - part of the brilliance of collaborative design is freedom to make mistakes and then come back. but, my writeup cautions that we don't want to be rigid. So how to make it free flowing, and make colossal mistakes? We just judge the collaborativeness and free flow.
Develop the creative brief first. Judging criteria later. Product needs to be costing below this, or torque no less than this... You may end up with forks because they are prioritizing one element over another. Hit minimum decisions, but do something that has
We may select for 6-10 cordless drills. So we have different versions and price points. But everyone will be best in something.
Brief should prioritize certain technical specifications.
The Brief is ... When a new client comes on board. Chlorox bleach example in mid 2000s. They were 84% of market at the time. But market was shrinking, ie bleach was bad. What do we need to say, what do we know, what 3rd party verification do we have. They found that bleach is the first antidote for water. Prominent in hospitals... etc. So learnings became a campaign - the Truth about bleach. It wasn't about Chlorox.
You can improve drill. So it's dynamically getting better.
People will want to buy the better drill. New drill, or mod. Can keep it for 50 years.
Spend money on improvements, not necessity.
OSE Lifetime Design Warranty. Typically you have to purchase a warranty. Not with ours. Creative warranty that describes what lifetime design is. We turn it into education. It allows us to talk about benefits. People buy not features, but benefits. Ex. Feature is lifetime design. Benefit is that drill lasts for a life. Everyone perceives a warranty as a benefit.
Collaborative, transparent, inclusive. Then we get 6 best drills at something. THen we have 6 SKUs.
Once we have brief - we'll incentivize the right thing - getting past scarcity mindset.
We create a contest where everyone is a winner. Set it up so that everyone who participates has a chance to gain.
Study design - of HeroX for their Briefs.
Latest and greatest - not greatest. See improvements, latest things.
I should be judging only behavior not consistent with rules, or where teams drift outside of Brief. Brief is equivalent to design specification - end state rather than path to get there. Rules of engagement - transparent, collaborative, inclusive.
By first week or two - everyone should know the rules of collaboration. People will want to stick together.
Steve spoke about power of high performing teams. Steve has average tenure of 11.5 yrs of tenure for executive team. Everyone believes that what we accomplished we couldn't accomplish on our own.
In IC, we see that people want to stick together. Sleepnumber is good like that. https://www.sleepnumber.com/
Challenges: enough people participating, and us managing them, and helping them manage themselves.
Book is AFTER incentive challenge. We succeeded in challenge despite culture.
We will unlock publicity with more STEAM Camps and curriculum and kit sales.
How do you guarantee the Instructor? If I trust the numbers, then we do $2k, OR 50% of net revenue. They have only upside, not downside. Make the YES high - 9 of 10 instructors. $5k OR 50% of net.
If they are bigger, charge more than $1k. Say $1200.
So -1 make it simpler, 2 take product home, 3 less stress.
Materials buying - registration - emails - OSE does it. Venue is their responsibility. Day camp.
This week up to Wed next week is good; week of 5th and 12th is good. Week of 26th away. Steve cut out of the other board, so has 25 hours liberated.

Session 5 - Jun 27, 2019

Testimonial release form - shoot video and interviews
Professionals matter on video side
Stills of everything we are capturing in video. Capture stills of all we take video of
When we ask a question - always have them repeat the question. "My favorite part of workshop was
B-roll - talking about something - and then showing real action
At end of each day - fill out a questionnaire - not just check a box - but have 4 or 5 questions that people did.

Primary consideration is identifying the things they loved
What they loved is why franchisees would get involved
Things they discovered about themselves
Less about improvement feedback than marketing
Realtime feedback on the experience. Not just overall - but specifics. Overall is nice - specifics are great.
Written feedback on - "Today what I learned about myself was... what I struggled with was... greatest achievement of today was...victory/challenge/etc. I learned that I have a gift for... Biggest challenge I overcame... I learned that I could collaborate...
Content and connective tissues. From the standpoint of consumer of product.
Down franchise path - this is why I would be doing it.

Challenge Island - pay attention to the Why, not the what. https://franchise.challenge-island.com/. Collaborative/flexible/tribe/team/leveraging passion. Always someone available. They focus almost nothing on what. Tons of endorsements and accolades. Accolades, 3rd party endorsement.
For our video - we don't know who is talking - marcin and william
Some of the magic is organic yield. But that needs lots of feeding.
Will william be overwhelmed after, or will he be able to run it.
Every franchise is complicated. Materials, etc.
Trying to ask the questions for Challenge Island - if I have the time to ask them. #1 STEAM franchise in the world - Challenge Island
Gather this type of imagery
For our 9 day STEAM camp - 9 day camps in an urban center. Urban center doesn't have all the costs of accommodating people.
Think about what I am spending the money on.
9 days - 5 grand. Minimum number of people to get to a camp.
Could anyone run a next camp?
Market to the entrepreneur, not young people.
Purpose of camps - content for marketing this. Simply to prove that someone could run this.
Pacific Ridge School - 3D digital design and printing; robotics class.
Enroll students with OSE. OSE Certificate of Completion -
Ingredients in a recipe. Sometimes order is critical. Strip the order, allow freedom to choose. Space for creative license.
Anyone who goes through 9 day camps gets a leg up in Incentive Challenge
Align things together.
Simply - get names, and get some money for the names.
Instead of linear - do a concurrent thing. Basics of Challenge Design. Lot more decisioning around the structure of contest.
Budget.
Give Steve an agenda for next time and organize next call. And give feedback on feedback.

4: June 12, 2019

Ad for business development partners - how to phrase it. We develop the business. You own your operation in exchange for a r developing it with us. We offer ~4000 development hours. You offer taking it to the finish line. See CEB Press Development Hours.
Performance Marketing - TV, radio, direct mail; online social digital. POint of differentiation - turn all of those places into distribution channels. Lifelock - example at lifelock.com. Pay for Performance marketing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Performance-based_advertising . Performance Marketing - is different- it's advertising outcomes. Cost of acquisition, business results. What is the client's measure of success? Is it brand or business results?
Customer value is X. This is how much it costs to service and market that relationship.
For the incentive challenge - 1. collaborator, 2. retail and distribution partners value; 3. value to OSE. If 1 or 2 are right, 3 is easy.
In the village - STEAM Camps teach people how to do to the thing in real life. Virtual business collaboratory is much easier than the village.
3 month Summer of Extreme Design Build. Artificial onerousness of urgency. We pick a winner or loser. As soon as we pick a finish date - we evaluate. If we don't set a finish date - option is to set a date or not.
Urgency comes from seeing where you are at.
Finish line is a threshhold.
"I'm nowhere near the best, I quit"
We need to prove out the hypothesis of collaboration.
We have to make sure that the incentives reward desirable behavior, and penalize for undesirable behavior.
STEAM Camps - are they franchisable? Absolutely. I give you a rranchise in exchange for 12.5% of the revenue. We give everything outside of customers, teachers, and facilities. We get 24 people running camps. Passive income.
Summer of Extreme Design Build -be general contractor and find people really good at the trades
3500 for the summer camp. Leverage high quality staff to bring in more people. Number is a function of the quality of the instructors.
Linkage of STEAM Camp - proof of concept for franchise model; 3 Month Summer of Extreme Design Build; And Incentive Challenge. STEAM camp fuels groundsweel of the Incentive Challenge.
entrepreneurial in the sense of the community that someone already has.
"I have a kit that shows you how to make $20k in a week" is compelling
Take advantage of STEAM Camp as an opportunity to kit it. Then go B2B to people who supplement their income.
Maybe we even have a signup website.
Then my role turns to B2B - selling to part time entrepreneurs.
Designers AND Builders have a practicality that doesn't exist in many places.
Summer Extreme Design Build - design contest - big thing - starts at end of summer. By summer - do as many franchise camps as possible.
End 50-100 franchises - August to April - 50-100 camps that are running. To pull it off, we need to have it kitted.
What skill set do instructors need? Grad students.
Big deal is how much $ they will make.
Marketing of camp - pictures etc - marketing part, etc.

3: May 10, 2019

Discussion:

Marketing Open Source Microfactory STEM Camp
Can we learn any new insights from OSE Vision? Specifically, regarding clarity of open source tools - that some will think that Fusion 360 is 'open' when you don't even own your own design.
Based on OSE Vision - can someone interpret that patents allow abundance as they provide ample revenue?
Discuss specific potential advantages that open collaborative product development can have over proprietary development - and if so - why is nobody doing it? It must mean that we identify specific objections to structure the challenge better What are the critical requirements for distributed coordination? Nature of scarcity here. Just $2m. That's it. FOr us, not only prize, but money.
Basic timeline - OSE Incentive Challenge Critical Path
Evaluation of HeroX. It costs 10% for $100k and 5% thereafter of reward. $250k would mean $17.5k platform fee. See $2M example of VTOL aircraft - [1]
Get honest about what I can do and where I need support - my strengths and weaknesses

Notes

Where is the value exchange? ROI on To What End.
What about a business?
Build a printer; self-sufficient

Design and build prototypes
Open a home-based business
Ever had a great idea and not know what to do with?
Ever wish you ca....well you are 9 days away from that.
Turn your ideas into prototype, so you can turn your ideas into a business.
Steve introduced the idea to Tim Brown of IDEO. Pack-it. https://packit.com/
Everything from idea to execution was for her - someone else had to do it.
Nobody bites STEM Camp?
STEM camp - on Google Ad Words.
Places that people go
Retargeting - once your IP address hits the test -
Where do people that look for STEM camps look?

Next Steps

Copy -
FB marketing -
Plays into the OSE Incentive challenge
Send Steve the ideas for former business idea.

More

Newsletter, FB spot, etc. - what are limitations of each?
Definitely STEAM not STEM
Force multipliers - invest time to set up relationships with Universities. Offer credit to students. They will get credit. How to go about a campaign of offering credit to students? Start asking.

See Circuits on Plastic - for steve

Agenda:

Feedback process
Collaborative Design for a transparent and inclusive economy of thriving?
Abundance - it captures self-sustaining, lack of sacrifice, erases notion of scarcity.
Abundance - i have more than i need. Currently more than I need. Thriving - is 'at present - reflection of a moment. This is more than thriving - thriving - others may not be thriving.

Conversation

Renee - You can learn a lot from Marcin.
Learned how quickly we can learn from ideas - and taking that as a process.
Seed to fuel a process
Don't make success a destination, but a journey
Success is not a destination - but a way of evolving the organization successfully.
Allows collaborators to be successful as we go on the journey.
Taking ideas and take them into a process
Steve has COO and CFO to run ideas through. Must convince them. Gives each of them a veto. Allowed them to veto it.
Forced Steve to listen to their feedback.
Concerns are addressed as we go
Almost never gets a veto
Steve built in processes to not ignore little voices
It would be helpful to have someone as a veto person.
Likes the Unjob.
We need to have a way for supporting people to do risky things. Otherwise it's a job.
Ex - what if in a cordless drill, someone wants to integrate a screwdriver.
Shut them down?
Collaborative rather than sole here
Steve Jobs was successful was not about process, but his vision - uncompromising on vision to get believers
Jobs was uncompromising on certain things. On what he believed was possible.
Network of independent contractors. Someone has to challenge the group.
Process has the capacity to upend, 'dirupt' industries that have never been disrupted.
Someone in the org needs to drive the stretching of muscles. I have to have the ability to do and strech - so they won't leave.
That means that I would have good HR - chief cultural officer - director of people and culture. Someone who gives me space to push them, supporting the collaborators.
Jobs' - Jay Landrum HR guy - he picked up the pieces. Jay would come after and give people what they needed emotionally and structurally. He would be the 'shoulder to cry on'.
Starts with an honest assessment of what I'm good at - and things that I struggle with.
Steve has seen so many visionaries - hire people that are unlike me.
Can't get away from grunt work - just not in my organization.
Model can't be dependent on XM-motivated people.
Making things better is infectious.
Make sure to build an incentive - something that's never been done. Revenue generating to people in design process. And open to anyone else. And that becomes self-perpetuating. To other aspect.
If we are building an engine to deliver against a vision - based on collab and open source + transparent - we're going to be yielding things that solve problems on a global scale. People are feeling like world-beaters. Because of collective power of collab, not individuals.
How do we create an environment that creates this? Some will take up XM - others will lean harder into the design side. How do we structure into org, such that both are values.
From organization perspective, as opposed to Garden of Eden - if we look at the promise - we need to make decisions around people who are meeting promises and not. Need Keen Eye on protecting the culture. Leads to abundance.
Promise - by and to the organizatino, not budget, quota, performance goals. Just a promise.
Ex. It's not for me, but I still respect it. Ex. My boss is an asshole, but I work here.
Want people based on vision, not an a job.
One implied promise is financial freedom. So for example an open source design - level of independence is total.
Cordless drill Uber.
Highlight a vision of what I think is possible. Aspirational. And hold it against vision.
Too easy to get lost in how to and forget why to.
Real community is possible only in the way the virtual is possible. Make the virtual as the end game - and natural community will follow.
Utopia must work without physical community. Don't compromise on the virtual community.
$250k prize. Development.
Plus cash for setting up on
As an educator - prove the production model - take 3D printer to Amazon?
Open source store at Amazon - to deliver kits to future cordless drill makers.
I can control the demand. By producing on Amazon.
MOQ for Amazon? Distributed mfg
Perfect the printer. July 1.
Update the wiki.

I: April 1, 2019 Ar

Solution to pain point - control the org
Come up with a vision to control the org.
Something to hold decisions against.
Control the culture.
Founders leave when they lose control of culture.
Active participants vs bureacracy.
Vision to take me from
Most people won't spend the 4 weeks to study the org. That's why the bureacracy comes in.
Vision is the solution
If not we default to talent, not the people we need with culture.

Contest

Challenge design?
Manufacturing? Packaging - how do we establish a distributed production capacity? Infrastructure? QA? How do we start the skeleton of design around fully distributed production.
Distribution - is there a packaging? How will we do this? How do we approach
I will identify needs of support?

Start at the End

If it is successful, what does it look like.
My mind takes off in many tangents.
Create a true north for me.
Scare the hell out of me? Llowes + Home Depot.
Theoretical is good
How do we deliver at scale?
3D printers - we distribute them as well.

Design

Design the contest
One or several designs?
How many people participate.

Vision

No scarcity, no judgment - just vision
Written Feedback around vision.
What matters to me

Intro

A vision is a powerful framework to take the operations of an organization of any size into the arena of possibility. Yet, while most organizations use the term “vision” liberally, few have articulated a vision in such a way that it serves that purpose.

Limited Vision

The term "mission statement" is often used interchangeably with the word “vision” in business and political arenas but, by and large, mission statements are expressions of competition and scarcity. A mission statement characteristically draws a picture of the company’s future, including its position in the marketplace, and designates the steps to fill out the design. That design is more often than not some version of the aspiration to be Number One; by definition an exclusive—and excluding—objective. This kind of statement may motivate people competitively, and may be comfortable to share internally, but it does not provide a guideline for all aspects of the company or organization, nor does it inform people as to its meaning and direction. There is no long line.

Example: “We are to be the preeminent supplier of the most innovative technology in office design in the world.” (Between the lines, a little voice from inside the company walls is crying, “What's in all that for me?”) (Another asks, “Why?” “What for?”)

Proper Vision

A vision has the impelling force of a long line of music. Mozart’s passionate duet from tv lifted the prisoners’ spirits high over prison walls in one of my favorite films - The Shawshank Redemption. Morgan Freeman's character in sharing about a powerful moment in the movie said "I have no idea to this day what those two Italian ladies were singing about. Truth is I don’t want to know. Some things are best left unsaid. I like to think they were singing about something so beautiful it can’t be expressed in words, and makes your heart ache because of it. I tell you those voices soared higher and farther than anybody in a gray place dares to dream. It was like some beautiful bird flapped into our drab little cage and made those walls dissolve away. And for the briefest of moments, every last man at Shawshank felt free."

In this way, a vision releases us from the weight and confusion of local problems and concerns, and allows us to see the long clear line. A vision becomes a framework for possibility when it meets certain criteria that distinguish it from the objectives of limited thinking or measurable accomplishments, and becomes limitless. Here are the criteria that enable a vision to stand in the universe of possibility:

A vision articulates a possibility.
A vision fulfills a desire fundamental to humankind, a desire with which any human being can resonate. It is an idea to which no one could logically respond, “What's in it for me?”
A vision makes no reference to morality or ethics, it is not about a right way ofdoing things. It cannot imply that anyone is wrong.
A vision is stated as a picture for all time, using no numbers, measures, or comparatives. It contains no specifics of time, place, audience, or product.
A vision is free-standing—it points neither to a rosier future, nor to a past in need of improvement. It gives over its bounty now. If the vision is “peace on earth,” peace comes with its utterance. When “the possibility of ideas making a difference” is spoken, at that moment ideas do make a difference.
A vision is a long line of possibility radiating outward. It invites infinite expression, development, and proliferation within its definitional framework.
Speaking a vision transforms the speaker. For that moment the “real world” becomes a universe of possibility and the barriers to the realization of the vision disappear.

Inside of the framework of a vision, goals and objectives spring from an outlook of abundance. A goal—even the goal “to be Number One in office design in the world”—is invented as a game to play. Games call forth a different energy than the grim pursuit of goals with the nagging shadow of failure lurking nearby. They draw out the creativity and vitality of the players, without denying that the level at which they play may have something to do with whether the team qualifies for the next round. Under a vision,goals are treated as markers thrown out ahead to define the territory. If you miss the mark—"So What!' or “How fascinating!” Neither you nor the vision is compromised. In the pursuit of objectives under a vision, playing is relevant to the manifestation of the possibility, winning is not.

Here are some examples of visions that meet this criteria of frameworks for possibility. An international food distribution company was inspired by 'a vision of a world in ethical, sustainable partnership. A company that designs inexpensive home products found their expression in the possibility of joy in the everyday, and a group of officers from the U.S. Army resonated to the possibility of a world living in freedom. An orchestra in New England transformed itself into a world-renowned group under the leadership of their vision Passionate Music-Making Without Boundaries.

A vision is an open invitation and an inspiration for people to create ideas and events that correlate with its definitional framework. The vision I co-created with the Sri Lankan Oceanographer for her NGO “Oceanswell” is Oceans for all, forever.

OSE Vision

For time immemorial Marcin struggled with defining the vision of OSE, in that the vision is different things for different people. Creating a vision must be very general, and if so, how does it focus action? I don't see how we can focus actions outside of protocols/operations and at least an extended vision explanation. A vision that is a byline cannot be sufficient to direct action in a focused way, because a shared understanding of principles is required. A vision can mean different implementations of that vision for many people. Are we just creating a Byline, therefore?

Initial Feedback

Overall, this is a fantastic start and several of these could absolutely work, but I didn’t see one that seemed to particularly capture the primary sentiment of both ‘why’ and ‘what’. This is mostly me taking your words and reshaping them to something that could serve as an inspiring vision, but before I go deeper, wanted to see if any of these work at all and if so, let me know what appeals and why. How do these feel?

Open and transparent collaboration at scale designing purposeful solutions to global economic challenges - Quite delectable, but - 'economic challenges' seems to limit the scope by implying that the problems that we are solving are only economic. The etymology of 'economy' is 'housekeeping' - so Economic Challenges is an accurate term - but for most people, 'economy' will refer only to the 'economy' and not the more broad concept of 'keeping house'. The problem statement for OSE is creating a culture based on openness and collaboration, which is a profound social transformation of humanity. The Open Source Economy is a byproduct of such a mindshift. Also, we need to include something that refers to abundance. It would also be good to include the ecological aspects which are inherent to producing life-giving technology - such as the closed loop material cycles fostered by distributed economies that use their local resources to the maximum extent. Further, while I like this to be 'transformative' - the words 'at scale' do not seem to imply improvement - just that the effect will be huge but either in the positive or negative direction. Still we need to make it clear that our ambitions are large, which I think is captured in a word such as 'transformative.'
Creating a collaboratively designed, transparent, & inclusive economy of abundance YES. How about Collaborative design for a transparent and inclusive economy of abundance?. My thought here is that it must be something that rolls off my tongue naturally, which I can use in an elevator when I'm speaking either to a conservative CEO or a hippy type. The 'economy of abundance' may be hard to swallow for a conservative person, though. The positive part of this one is that it flows well - cadence is good.
A community that fosters open collaboration, transparent design, and self-determination - OSE develops inclusive economies of abundance This is quite a mouthful, but it does capture the several key components - collaboration, transparency, self-determination. I like the self-determination part - which is more specific than 'freedom'. Missing is 'tools and techniques' - something like 'OSE develops tools for creating economies of abundance'. The 'tools' are open source collaboration mindsets, protocols, and associated hardware tools.
A community that fosters open collaboration, transparent design, and self-determination, OSE develops purposeful solutions to global economic challenges. I like 'pressing world issues.' I envision the eventual OSE Campuses being centers of learning/practice excellence, with an explicit mission of solving Pressing World Issues - not just educating people. We have specific learning and practical objectives that attract a wannabe movement entrepreneur, simply because there are still so many unsolved and critical issues such as ecocide and poverty that can be improved greatly when individuals focus on these explicitly outside of existing institutional settings, which tend to prolong the underlying global issues. Is 'pressing world issues' too vague?
Transcending artificial scarcity through transparent & open collaborative designs. 'Transcending artificial scarcity' is in my TED Talk and I love the expression. 'Artificial scarcity' is an eye-opening and culturally-acceptable phrase. I would sugest that we envision transcending artificial scarcity by transparent and collaborative design. Open is missing in my statement, but by using 'open' the statement doesn't seem to flow as well.
One more comment - I found that industrial productivity - can be achieved - on a small scale. That is my favority line in my TED Talk. My wife is tired of me repeating this phrase whenever I get a chance. Any way to include this somehow? Because the efficiency part is the key that transcends the barrier that the hippies faced in the 60s - and which has never been solved since. Everyone moved back to the city, and now people think generally that 'living with more self-determination' means losing comforts of modern day life. This myth needs shattering.

Do these pass the test?

1 Expresses Possibility - 2 Everyone - 3 Nobody is Wrong - 4 Eternally True, not a product - 5 In the Present - 6 Continuing Development - 7 Transforms Speaker to Believer

Key Words - Freedom. Self Determination. Collaboration. Open access. Distributing. Economic significance. Right livelihood. Ecological. Solving pressing world issues.

Freedom to Build Yourself - Emily's conclusion. Qualifies on all 7 points. But only if you understand that 'Build Yourself' means both developing your abilities, and doing things autonomously (self-determination). However, this appears too sophisticated for most people as the phrase is a construction with double meaning. This could be resolved by Freedom to build your world. But the latter misses the collaborative aspect, which is inherent to open source. Build Yourself by itself sounds egocentric - misses the collaborative aspect. Note: open collaboration is probably more fitting than 'freedom'. Freedom is a higher level goal. Open Collaboration is universally accepted (in principle). Is freedom or open collaboration more important?
Freedom to build yourself and build your world sounds appealing, but misses the fact that we are trying to create an Open Source Economy
Open Collaboration for solving pressing world issues
Collaborative development for solving pressing world issues or Collaborative economics for solving pressing world issues. By open-sourcing the economy, as in Open Source Economy, we are addressing material-security related issues, which is most of the issues on the planet. Thus, I believe fundamentally that once we solve material security issues by open source economics, we will address a wide range of pressing world issue. Ecocide and war is an economic byproduct, and these should disappear. By solving material security, we can begin an honest effort to evolve as humans.
Open collaboration for freedom. I envision a world where we build a free society by open collaboration. Problem is that many people think that open collaboration already exists, but it really doesn't as far as the basic principle of the economy.
I envision a Collaborative economy of abundance, in harmony with nature. I envision that one day society will evolve to that.
OSE wants to 'distribute power' by 'evolving to freedom.' This definitely misses the point of being universally acceptable - as distributing power is offensive to most conservatives.
We can say this in the negative - transcending artificial scarcity
We can say it in the positive:Open source blueprints for civilization..
Creating the Open Source Economy This is for those who know what open source is. Many people don't - so Open Source is not admissible, it appears. is too offensive, as most people think that nobody's gonna have any money and thus suffer hardship.
Collaborative economy that gives freedom to all.
Collaborative economics for a better world. Is economics acceptable in a vision statement?
Collaborative evolution to prosperity.
Collaborative economics for a convivial world
Evolve to Freedom - seems to miss 3 (implies we are not free). But other than this, evolving to freedom is a huge responsibility that inspires me. But I'm not sure too many people are inspired to evolve to freedom? But, deep down everyone wants self-determination (no question about that), and knows that we are not free and thus should evolve to be free.
Open collaboration for evolving to freedom That summarizes the deep message. Maybe we should avoid technology in the messaging; it's about a paradigm of collaborative development that applies to more than just technology, but to everything in the world.
Liberating Technology for solving pressing world issues.
Liberatory Technology for solving pressing world issues.
Collaborative technology for solving pressing world issues
Economy of collaboration.
Open tools for economy and ecology
Tools for economies of collaboration
Tools for conviviality. (Ivan Illich)
Right livelihood for everyone.
Freedom technology for everyone
Transparent technology for evolving to freedom
Applying technology to freedom.
Issue: one has to make a connection between distributed production and freedom. That is not culturally understood. Open collaboration is understood, but only in theory - as in practice, most things are proprietary.
Production with a purpose
Technology with a purpose
Collaborative tools for Self-Determination. - if someone understands what self-determination is, we are good. Many people probably don't.
Building collaborative tools for society.
Collaborative economies for prosperity. This shows implementation.
Creating a transparent economy for evolving to freedom - yes
Open source technology for sustainable living -yes, but we want to use Regenerative, not Sustainable.
Open source economy for evolving to freedom
Building Tools of Freedom.
Freedom by and for Collaboration
Technically it is something like collaboration for a world where people gain self-determination and freedom. But self-determination is controversial - many people are scared of self-determination due to the threat of existential crisis deep down. Our work revolves around maturing and gaining responsibility for gaining self-determination - which seems like unappealing to most people. This is acceptable as an inspirational statement.
