Collaboration Architecture
Contents
Summary
The working question is how you can get a large team (100+) to work collaboratively in a focused way. What infrastructure is required to do so?
And more so, once the basic protocol is defined, how to scale to 240 person microcivilization villages, and clusters of those or local area networks at 2400 people, and global network of 2.4M stewards working seamlessly at one time?
At this scale, collaboration architecture must include site-based servers that are part of universal network redundancy.
This is distinct from the Amazon 2 Pizza Rule, which is based on small proprietary teams in which open documentation is not the norm. Collaboration Architecture must address Brook's Law: more people must produce faster development velocity, not slow it down.
2020 Model - 24 Hour Collaboration Architecture
STEAM Camp Collaboration Architecture
General - design + build + enterprise + education + manufacturing + testing + data collection must happen at the same time.
Concept: every action adds to the quality of the work, and does not propagate mistakes
Before
- Concept Design Diagram
- Design Rationale - unless people are clear about that, design decisions will not be degenerate
During Design/Build
- CAD - design it so it's 3D printable and verifiable
- CAD + Enterprise - model kits come right out of design
- Prototyping - 3D printing can happen at the same time
- Production Engineering Documentation - production engineering should be documented for artifacts, and to optimize parameters. Can't improve print quality and optimize without this.
After Design/Build
- Graphics - concept diagram fully fleshed out with diagrams
- Animation - exploded part, assembly, functional. Blender.

Specific Development Elements
- 3D printed model kits - ex, OBI Arch Kit, CNC Multimachine Dev Kit. Define all the modules.
- Laser cut model kits
Infrastructure Elements
Institutions
- Immersion Program students collaborate on the collaboration architecture platform.
- Metrics - cost reduction for the performance obtained. 80/20 rule - implying 20% cost for 80% performance. That is part of the OSE Brand. And then you can also go all out and exceed industry standards as well.
Documentation
- Design Guide - The holy grail for enabling mass participation. Good for any type of build; focus on scalability, performance, cost calculations to discover the most favorable DIY space.
- Build Manual - for a single build instance
Hardware
- Small laser
- 3D printer
- Filament maker
- CNC Torch
- Heavy duty CNC machine
Software
- FreeCAD workbench for the development
