OSE Current Status

OSE is has completed its first decade of Global Village Construction Set development in April of 2018. So far we prototyped 18 of the 50 machines - everything from 3D printers, micro tractors (http://opensourceecology.org/wiki/MicroTrac_v17.10), the compressed Earth brick press, microhouses (http://opensourceecology.org/wiki/MicroHouse_1), and then the larger Seed Eco-Home (http://opensourceecology.org/wiki/Seed_Eco-Home) and the aquaponic Greenhouse (https://www.openbuildinginstitute.org/portfolio/aquaponic-greenhouse-workshop-2/). We started the Open Building Instutute as a culmination of our work on heavy machine building (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/622508883/open-building-institute-eco-building-toolkit)

Our latest effort involves continuing the OSE Developers Team - http://opensourceecology.org/wiki/OSE_Developers - and starting our first ever, one month immersion training program in September, 2018. In the immersion program, we teach people to run OSE Extreme Manufacturing Workshops (http://opensourceecology.org/wiki/Extreme_Manufacturing_Workshops) - starting with the 3D Printer, CNC Circuit Mill, Laser Cutter, and Filament Maker.
