Add economic freedom as the first and foremost precondition to solving pressing world issues.
Working on Collaboration Architecture.

Talent Search - finding people who can do specific things. How to identify and recruit specific individuals to do specific tasks? This is SME Search. A lot of the tasks are technical - but rely on specific doable things. The future is not evenly distributed: before something is applied to a good cause, there is a lot of delay. The goal here is to get effective at recruiting the right talent, immediately. What is required to do that? The idea is: there is *exaclty* the right person. As we get into full execution, we need to find talent faster. For computer things, this is easy, as people on computers use the internet. For other categories, like medicine or engineering, lots of people may be not using internet, and may be not very collaborative. A collaborative index should be created. What is it? How available and willing a person is to collaborate. There are willing people who don't have the time, there are capable people who don't want to collaborate, there are people who want to collaborate but have limited skill. Then there is the supercooperator class - those beyond ego, who have time, and like to collaborate. As the economy is largely a military one, the advent of supercooperation - and self-determination - is not here yet. Most people are struggling. Many leading thinkers are also very private, not skilled in the public life. What we need badly is an easy way to make a living, so we can focus on thriving and self-determination.

ViewSTL - https://www.viewstl.com/ - for online printshop
Jitsi Video Bridge - thousands of streams are possible from a single server. https://jitsi.org/jitsi-videobridge/
Notes to Tyler Vega by email - Some requirements are standard product development protocol (we have it), scalable platform (we use Mediawiki), design repo (mediawiki + Gitlab/Hub), communications, distillation (upvoting, we don't have it), and a modular architecture (we are strong on this). Discussion such as FB or Slack help. Mass conferencing is also required (Zoom won't do, probably Jitsi Video Bridge looks like a solution). We're working on inttegrating that into a cohesive whole. Are you interested in working on this in the open source OSHWA/OSI compliant? Tell me more about yourself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03WrhD3zem4 - town hall later.
Note to Mitch Altman - Will do, thanks! We are thinking about remote participation now as our next move, with the filament maker. We're getting our torch table out to cut blades for shredders etc, and are likely to offer this as our next Remote STEAM Camp. We have also taken this time as a great opportunity to break the curriculum down into about 16 1 hour lessons. Can I ask you to prepare one of these lessons? The idea is to run the next STEAM Camp where we have 16 instructors doing one lesson each. All lessons should be high quality, and accompanied by full online lesson plans that can be followed by teachers and anyone else that liikes to do so. This is all free, but also paid with some value added options. As always, all of our design is open source, including how to build or prepare the kits if others want to do so. Accompanying each lesson would be the ability to buy a kit. Can you prepare this lesson for the minimalist Arduino that I asked you regarding the capacitors being too far away? I think if we refine that experiment, and perhaps do a 3D printed circuit board/enclosure, that still remains in my view an excellent lesson and product. What do you think? Can you do this lesson? So the plan would be - we have 16 or so instructors in the next camp, and each of us does one lesson. For the first day (build of 3D printer) - that is a longer lesson - I will prepare that.

Continuing on Large-Scale Development and identifying requirements for transitioning to an open source economy.

Wiki - scalable digital platform
1000 Universities - large collaboration across universities. They work with 10,000 high schools as recruiting for the University. OSE provides value proposition of Collaborative Development. Key: OSE provides 4 hour development training
1000 True Fans - large base of supporters. Campaign would have to be started, with a self-funding manager for this. Requirements: adherence to OSE Vision, OSE Specifications, and Critical Path.
Open Source Everything Store - based on embedded wiki templates with a Buy button. Simplest implementation: PayPal.
1000 Schools - Mapping them out - and committing to synchronous and asynchronous sessions. Key: OSE provides 4-hr collaborative development training.
1000 high schools - link to different universities
Spring Breaks
Summer X - then scaling to different locations
Incentive Challenges - for every product
Get people around small product development - Open Source Microfactory / Library / Hackerspace
Funding resources for Open Source Microfactory / Library / Hackerspace
Icons - supporting icons for every machine. GVCS Modules. Icons across FreeCAD, Blender, Inkscape, Wiki Templates
Useful 3D Prints for the Open Source Everything Store
Eco-Enterprise Clubs at schools, high schools, and universities - featuring a shredder, filament maker, and more.
Gearing up printer production - for revenue and dissemination of production capacity
1000 microfacories - Libraries / Hackerspaces / Dedicated Facilities that produce real goods, include small showroom, and have online 3D printing service.
And at the same time - don't forget about the Real Village for Buying Out at the Bottom, starting out as a University Campus.

Info Architecture

Proper Collaboration architecture needs infobox for quick update on status of a thing in development
A development page needs to be set up in one second, and improved in a few seconds.
- Development Template, Infobox, Social Contract (Dev Guidelines), Videos, Communication Channels (embed Discourse), Upvote for contributions
Iconography - while we have the machine icons, we need to begin using Open Source Technology Pattern Language primitives to begin communicating

Community + Economics

Open Source Microfactory is started in every community. Donation of a space via partnership with a local organization.
- Basic implementation is $5k for a facility with 3D Printers, camera scanner.
Collaborative Enterprise Development and Marketing - for replicable results.
Incentive challenge protocol
Extreme Builds to support a product
Hackathon to support a product
STEAM Camps to train people in product development - 9 days no less to get the full commitment
