- OSE Boot Camp - 2 week immersion in open source product development process, software, design, and hardware builds. Prerequisite providing basic competency in open source product prototyping including heavy machine prototyping. One week on-site, one week off-site. OSE boot camp provides basic training. This is the entry level OSE program, with no prior requirements. Limit 8 people.
- 3 Month-long immersion development based on Distributive Enterprise Development. Each month focuses on 1 machine under development. CEB Press build, Eco-Tractor Build, and OBI Seed Eco-Home. Schedule is 2 seminars per week, and a collaborative Final Publication for a completion certificate (build procedure using WikiFab + Scribus).
