Only Office a possible alternative to Google Docs. I sent them a request to via their website to see what can be done for non-profits specifically OSE, and perhaps a cross promotional exchange. Mobile application is on Apple/Android, also allows for Portal and Personal integration from the mobile app, I haven't tried the mobile app yet. I have it downloaded and I will attempt to load it to a test server.

Meet and greet call with Ian Marcus. Discussed the CEB software code and some requirements. Maybe difficult to start from scratch and experiment, therefore, editing the existing code is what is feasible for Ian. I suggested first starting with workflow and working state of machine and controller. Also needing to contact Dorkmo aka James on the documentation of last controller build.

Meet and greet call with James Fleming. Also discussed with Marcin about HR formalities and shifting towards a rigorous process. James will be most useful doing HTML CSS work and to use precious plastics website as an example.

EIR Quarterly Review- Discussion on improvements to increase efficiency and effectiveness through process and operational management for the application of distributive enterprise and entrepreneurial opportunities.
Lessons Learned
Communication is key when working with heterogeneous groups that will need to converge meta-knowledge to eliminate miscommunication of terms and execution. Developing a mindset of creativity to overcoming obstacles first starts by recognizing them as opportunities to grow or as a time to change direction. Oversight is necessary not just to measure growth or performance but to stimulate and re-energize interpersonally with each other. You cannot manage what you cannot measure. You cannot grow up if you don't show up. Failure is a part of experimentation, but survival is a way of life. Knowing the difference makes all the difference. Q & A is an effective process to map the unknowns and eliminate uncertainty by landmarking the obvious and eliminating the unreasonable, but challenges the impossible. Adopting and transferring the "and" over the "or" culture is imperative to embrace collaborative culture. More specifically in problem solving, some take the approach do you want to use this "or" that as a solution, and the alternative is, "Do you want to try this "and" that as a solution?"

Conflict Management. Organizational Core Training Core Training Document As an open organization, developing core leadership and team competencies will require training and development to manage enterprise and business operations. Coursera is one of many MOOC courses available for mastery of concepts and content of various disciplines. Outcomes include: producing collaborative literacy content, tool chain training (such as FreeCad), and other supplemental resources for knowledge and skill transfer to develop highly functional and high performing teams. Developing norms for interdisciplinary training and cross pollination of competencies is key to integrating diversity in teams and an organizational core.

Comparison of Web Conferencing Software Mainly Closed Source
"15 Best Webinar Software Platforms
Editor and Authors has concluded that there isn't the ultimate platform out there, but uses Google+Hangouts.
From Heidi Wurst. "Is this what you have been using - formerly GoogleCode, but now moved to Apache Foundation - http://openmeetings.apache.org?
Here's another Open Source web conferencing resource from Brazil - http://bigbluebutton.org Big Blue Button FAQs - http://docs.bigbluebutton.org/support/faq.html
Drawback: uses Flash running within the browser. Security problem and why Flash is not allowed on any iOS devices.
MCONF custom UI running on top of Big Blue Button framework but solves the Flash problem on mobile with an App for iOS - http://mconf.org"

Meeting with Marcin/Luka IT Team meeting with Marcin, and Colby Exploring different methods and techniques to facilitate meetings, specifically virtual meetings, but most principles apply to both. Creating an agenda will help participants to prepare ahead of the meeting to deliver information that maybe necessary for decision making. Time management is crucial for short and long term success when performing meetings. Creating an agenda will help keep topics and collaborators coordinated with effort and action. Plus/Delta is an assessment tool used in education to access the performance and feedback from participants to improve the learning experience.
Six Critical Success Factors for Running a Successful Virtual Meeting

Tues, April 14, 2015
Updated work log. Considerations for Org and community development: Mass communication and mass documentation. Efficiency for communication is video logging and data capture. MOOC functions for OSE for education lowering barriers to entrance. Developing and rebooting materials for online collaboration, but collaboration without OSE culture is counterproductive. Video and education material is needed for introducing open source culture to prepare the way for open development framework. Critical Meta-path - Finalization of events and outcomes for 2015.
OSE ambassadors requirements will require replication of GVCS machines as open source training and introduction into open development framework.

Team Building Log. Seeking leaders to help facilitators host virtual meetings. We will need as many facilitators as we can find to help distribute the workload and help collaborators and developers work together. Another consideration is expanding our SME board of advisors and host a panel/webinar with Q & A on Aquaponics. Creating a Facilitator and Collaboration Form maybe the best approach for those who are not interested in leading facilitators but interested in hosting a virtual meeting with collaborative sessions.

Exploring Slack- team communication application. Also testing Silk for Development Board Implementation. Proves very useful and can be very powerful if implemented. Usability is higher than the spreadsheet itself. Data manipulation is also higher. Mashable see below. Free for the public, and free to teams for now. Created a dozuki guide for creating work log in the wiki.

Lulzbot ForumLulzbot Forum uses phpBB with a theme by Sopel. Nice presentation and clean. Does not have social media plug-ins however they maybe available. Upvoting is also a plugin that is not being used or installed. No badges.
Discourse.org Also features meta.discourse.org, a next forum based platform. Discourse has many features ideal for use. Open source and supports one time installation via a cloud provider such as Digital Ocean for hosting ~ $10 a months versus $100 on a supported server. A possible serious contender and solution for a next gen forum platform. Badges, social media, and likes' are supported view the about page for a list of features. Total investment= $99 & a hosting provider $10 a month cloud server. $120 + $99 = $219 1st year, $120 a year after first year.

Cloud Farm Management -
Some of the major challenges in urban and rural farming are information management and data collection for economic analysis. Resource management can also be used to lower administrative costs, and also improve decision making when markets change. Cloud farm management could also be a means to share data with respected cohorts and customers for sourcing and food security.

Soil Compaction
Soil compaction and testing methods are essential to understanding how brick pressing sampling is possible and feasible. Making how to instructional videos can be helpful to ease the learning curve. When building a concrete foundation and other soil applications for heavy loads soil testing is important for structural integrity and long term risk management. Soil Compaction document Example 1
Soil Compaction Document Example 2
Pocket Penetrometer Quick and fast method for testing compressive strength of soil.
Ridiculously expensive Penetrometer
"The Troxler Model 3430" "gives you the fast, accurate, and consistent results you need to fulfill the testing requirements on today's construction projects. The Model 3430 provides the basic features required for determining the density of asphalt, soil, aggregate or concrete and the moisture of soil or aggregate. It and the other gauges in the 3400 series have replaced conventional density test methods and have become the industry standard."
Troxler 3430 Used price is about $3,000. Standard Proctor and Modified Proctor is less expensive and affordable solution.
Walk behind machinery tech-
Walk behind technology and machines can be an alternative to CEB loading and soil pulverizing. Developing the Open Source Walk Behind Tractor is a lower start-up cost than the larger tractor. Walk behind tractors can offer flexibility and lower barriers to application.
