WHY are you motivated to support/develop this work?
- Do you endorse open source culture?
Yes I do (like marriage without divorce hahaha!).
- Why are you interested in collaborating with us?
As a student, who is becoming a master of open and sustainable flexible fabrication, OSE makes a great open techshop.
- How do you think that the GVCS can address pressing world issues?
When GVCS is fully developed and deployed, any committed community can eliminate scarcity by utilizing it.
- What should happen so that you become more involved with the project?
To start with, a Dedicated Project Visit, and once there everything else to allow for maximum contribution.
- What are you missing in the project?
My beloved Africa is yet to be represented. Full time incubators across Africa and anywhere the human condition is sub-standard.
- What are your suggestions for improvement of the project?
Part of my DPV will be about OSE's commitment to grow OSE_Incubators in Africa and my commitment to that specific intent, thus eliminating artificial scarcity.
