Janyuary-February Goals for Torch Table

From Open Source Ecology

Introduction

As the workshop nears completion and the inside wall for the utility space is being put up, here are my commitments to the torch table, and CEB project, development.

Personally, I've been publishing the Factor e Live Distillations series - which is critical to laying the groundwork for OSE collaboration, so I prioritized it above the CEB fabrication torch table. This produced a month delay in the Torch Table.

CEB Press Deployment Timeline

  • January 25 - rest and post these commitments, lay out plan for torch table; finish 3D design on Torch Table; publish Distillations Part 7
  • 26, Mon - Picked up Nathan; basically finished bricking-in the utility area; worked till 8 PM - too late - as too tired next day
  • 27 Tuesday - ordered passport pictures, worked on publicity material for 1000 Squared, got Nathan settled in; went food shopping to Jamesport; did Prototype one of open source v-grafting tool; edited publicity material for 1000 Squared from Matthew
