OSE National Chapters
Introduction
In order to scale participation to thousands of active contributors and developers worldwide, OSE welcomes the startup of national chapters of OSE.
Chapters at the national level provide leadership in promoting the OSE Vision at the level of nation states. Activities that OSE encourages include:
- Doing a basic level of Collaborative Production as a base for funding continuing R&D
- Coordinating the development of OSE Chapters at Universities in a particular country. See OSE Chapters at Universities#Strategies
- Coordinating a nationwide, annual hackathon on priority projects
- Promoting annual Incentive Challenges at the national level
- Collaborate with the rest of the OSE global community on coordinated development
- Weekly collaboration in design sprints for the Open Source Everything Store
Development Path
In order to promote clear and visible development, and to release economically-viable, open source hardware products on a regular shedule, OSE is coordinating a single main prject at any one time. This allows rapid development to full product releases. Once a single transformative project develops a 100+ person Collaboration Ecology with several thousand participants, and attains Distributed Market Substition for the first product, we will move on to the next one.
