OSE Jam
Context: In 2012, we have achieved One Day production time for our first Global Village Construction Set machine. In 2013, we aim to achieve One Day for the design time of a Global Village Construction Set Machine. This will require a radically collaborative development environment.
Prior Art: Perhaps the best example of tapping collaborative development is the Jam. Specifically, the Global Sustainability Jam demonstrates that a large number of worldwide-distributed and diverse stakeholders can participate in problem-solving sessions. Such an effort may gain more synergy when as many of the participants as possible are co-located.
We aim to adapt jams to design/development sessions of Global Village Construction Set (GVCS) machines.
What will the above sprint/hackathon/Hackation/charrette/jam/development sessions look like?
First, it will be a hybrid between a Global Sustainability Jam, a Hardware Hackathon, a The Deconstruction, a Jam, Charette, Book Sprint, and others.
Stakeholders: The first step is defining stakeholder groups and identifying the most fitting candidates. As in Moneyball, they don't have to be superstars. But they need to be really good, and more importantly, the whole team needs to work together. This is takes advantage of Joy's Law. For GVCS machine development, some of these people are:
- Mechanical Engineers
- Collaboration Architects
- Prototypers
- Animators
- Product Designers
- Open Source Hardware advocates
- Fabricators
- CAD Designers
- Vidoegraphers
- Machine Designers
- Farmers
- Builders
- Digital/flexible fabricators
- Documenters
- Experience Designers
- Crowdfunders
- Writers
- Book Sprinters
- Project Managers
- Production Managers
- Translators
- Entrepreneurs
- open source ecologists
- Script Writers
- Mentors
