OSE Chapters Negotiation

OSE Chapters may be started after immersion training of individuals via the OSE Mentorship. The following are notes only - and details of duties and benefits will depend completely on specific situations.

1. Each individual starts as a regional chapter, and then moves on to the national chapter level if they are interested in growing within OSE.
   1. Regional chapters require a microfactory infrastructure
   2. National chapters require a land-based facility, the OSE Campus
   3. Continental chapters require a land-based facility and offer continuing education for national chapters on the continent. These reqiure special zoning as special economic zones or autonomous zones within a given country, with benefits to the local economy and world in general.
2. Ideal monthly work breakdown once operating is 1 week of production, 2 weeks of R&D (core of OSE work), and 1 discressionary week (Chapter does any projects that are not coordinated with the rest of the effort, but still contributing to the overall vision:
3. Each OSE Chapter produces all the machines and hardware that they sell or use in their programs.
4. When STEAM Camps or workshops are run, they typically happen all at the same time to optimize collaboration.
5. We expect to begin running one or more Extreme Enterprise events per year, and each chapter
6. Each chapter sets up their own website, and are featured on the OSE Inernational website as an official branch
7. Each chapter uses OSE branding for each product.
8. Expected net revenue after completion of training - is $50k.
9. Chapter pays an annual chapter fee or contributes in-kind to support OSE International expenses including marketing, continuing education, ongoing product development, land and facility acquisition, and other costs related to the collaborative creation of a network of OSE Campuses worldwide
10. OSE Chapters are design to be the key vehicle for ongoing OSE development work.
11. Collaborator gains free access to all OSE workshops, but needs to pay for travel or materials
12. $10,000USD tuition and certification fee for the 2 year program, and $10k materials cost. Sum to be paid to OSE upon acceptance into the 2 year program.
13. Materials cost covers all parts for six 3D Printers, parts for CNC Torch table outside of steel, filament maker, and shredder. The budget covers shipping, and may involve getting some materials locally using the alloted materials budget. The collaborator keeps all of the products as property of the new OSE Chapter.
14. Fee includes certification to run as an official OSE chapter, pending the final exam
15. Final exam in training involves building a printer, using FreeCAD to design a product collaboratively with other team members, building that product, and productizing the product at the Open Source Everything Store. This shows that the collaborator is fully capable of producing viable products to OSE Specifications.
