Intro

There is a vast array of ways that OSE can facilitate feedback loops to add value and promote developer retention. These can be:

  1. Collaborator surveys - Is a collaborator turning into a developer? How can we facilitate the transition? Surveys on needs such as Enterprise Startup Needs Survey can help provide clarity to collaborators by asking teleological questions, and facilitate a feedback loop on how we can meet developer needs.
  2. Telemetry - feedback loops for machines, ie, IoT connected to machines. See what Caterpillar does - [1]
  3. Feedback Loop Guidelines - provided to all collaborators so that they become familiar with the potential of large-scale, collaborative development - and what conditions/requirements make such development happen - and happen effectively.
  4. User-Generated Maps of Resources - these could be of suppliers, resources, marketing and distribution channels, and are made available to the 'competition' so everyone benefits.
