Agenda:

So on the agenda remains:

  1. Setup a time for Marcin to meet the IL PPE group on one of the end of day zoom calls
  2. MSI Fab Lab and OSE collaboration. Specific projects and timing? Maybe set up production of PPE at OSE?
  3. Chicago Hacker, Maker and Fab Lab network and learning from OSE to maybe start a version of a Chicago OSE collective. Maybe at the Plant or at The Chicago Sustainable Mfg Center or even at MxD Goose Island.
  4. I can give you a heads up on point 3: OSE Chapter such as OSE Chicago. We teach a pair of your young guys to run a business making 3D printers and running build workshops/STEAM Camps, if you can serve as mentor, and we also involve a business mentor. It would be a 1-2 year program, and would require some funding to set up. More notes - https://wiki.opensourceecology.org/wiki/OSE_Chapters_Proposal . We're working on the details of chapter charter. This is based on our learning regarding the nature of the learning curve involved, and the resources it would take to get this off the ground. Currently we have no chapters outside of our headquarters in the Kansas City area.
