Goals (and therefore metric checklist) of the workshop are:

  1. Deliver a quality education program of immersion training, published as a set of Crash Courses, Manuals,
  2. Secure apprentice to run workshops in the future
  3. Demonstration of triple revenue model, where education itself or product itself is self-sustaining for OSE bootstrapping. Implies that surplus can go to further R&D and to making the event itself better. 3 sources: product sale; workshop tuition; remote subscription ($25 or more).
  4. Produce definitive documentation: language agnostic instructional
  5. Produce digital fabrication package that allows any custom fabricator to build the entire physical machine in about 20 hours (half of non-digital fabrication time)
  6. Produce a digital fabrication package that allows any layperson to outsource work completely to build a machine
  7. Produce 100 brick presses within 6 months of workshop (CAM files, incubation, OSE outsourcing of fab)
  8. Publish a Replication Map on new website for CEB press, and invite people to document their replications
  9. Curriculum covers nuts and bolts of developer-level contributions, while itself is an enjoyable survey that shows people how to do stuff. Generation of CAM files for laser cutters and CNC torch table; animations from CAD, generation of CAM from CAD, templates, RFPs, file manipulation to generate aimations + CAM + renderings + visual BOMs, graphics, instructionals, video, and others.
  10. Develop 1 tool for Crowd Engineering - creation of an animated machine walkthrough video.
  11. Publish paper copy of manual
