Extreme Enterprise Hackathon
Summary
In 2021, OSE will be hosting its largest design hackaton yet - where we aim for 2000 people collaborating on the release of documentation for an enterprise around the Seed Eco-Home 2. The main tasks during the hackathon will be producing content for a coffee-table book, and a more lengthy Enterprise Manual - that facilitate the widespread replication of an enterprise for building affordable eco-homes anywhere in the world where light frame construction is applicable. This will be part of a package where we offer both a turnkey build of a 1000 square foot Incremental House,
Overall Narrative
The goal of the Extreme Enterprise Hackathon is to create a paradigm of collaborative product development. We propose this as the next-step in the evolution of human economic systems away from proprietary development. An issue with the latter is the continuing concentration of wealth and power, which does not contribute to the long-term survival of the species. Development of transparent, open, collaborative economies is not a nice-to-have - it's a necessity.
The hackathon develops clear collaborative protocols - by open-sourcing the product release of the Seed Eco-Home. This means that we focus on the knowhow and process requuired to develop produucts, to lower barriers to entry, and to enable a historic transfer of wealth from the few to the many.
While we refine enterprise assets (designs, build instructions, budgets, marketing assets, business processes, and operations) - we work explicitly on access and teaching others to attain design capacity towards a historic transfer of wealth from the few to the many, with the goal of regenerative solutions at scale.
The audience here is a specific track of collaborative, internet savvy contributors. Contributors are trained for specific tasks that makes them useful as part of a collaboratively literate group event.
The critical skills involve:
- Understanding Collaborative Literacy - basic training on how thousands of people can truly work together beyond limits of siloed expertism
- Understanding the goals - what are we solving for? We are solving for housing, plastic waste, and economic access. Explain this clearly.
- Understanding the tools - how do we use FreeCAD, SweetHome3D, Blender, Kdenlive, and other tools to work effectively?
