Collaboration Architecture
A little more background on our work - we're trying to find out what happened to the promise of distributed production, as there are limits to its success in the 12 years since Neil Gershenfeld published his seminal work, Fab.
Would you mind sharing your insights on the missing pieces? Our thoughts are captured on the OSE wiki - would like your feedback.
Yes, we'd be interested in connections to partners. We plan to run 12 camps in 12 locations worldwide for our next event. Currently we have Seattle, Kansas City, New York, Vienna, Ghent (Belgium), and Dresden as potential venues - we host the camps wherever the Instructor is located.
The idea is that the STEAM Camps provide collaborative development training, which feeds into regular Incentive Challenges, and where we also hold conference scale Extreme Design/Builds in physical locations, somewhat like Startup Weekend but involving builds.
I would like to hear your suggestions on this. Should we talk on a conference call?

Big Vision
I'm the founder of Open Source Ecology. We're developing open source blueprints for civilization. I'm contacting you because of your work in distributed manufacturing - as a grad of Fab Academy.
We envision open source microfactories as the next engine of industrial production - and are inviting you to join us. We know that it's a big task and we can't do it alone. We also believe that pressing world issues stand no chance in the face of unleashed, open collaboration. We cannot think small when it comes to the next human evolution: transition of the current economic paradigm from proprietary to collaborative.
But how do we get there? We're trying to find out what happened to the promise of distributed, open source production? There are certainly limits to its success in the 12 years since Neil Gershenfeld published his seminal work, Fab. I'd like to know your thoughts on what the best efforts are, and what the main obstacles lie in the path of this? We have some ideas about this, see our Limits of Distributed Manufacturing page.
Our proposed solution is a crash course to teach collaborative, open source product development. Second, to run regular, well-funded Incentive Challenges for open product design. Third, to run Extreme Builds with 100+ people where we do rapid prototyping in real life. And fourth, to create an enterprise ecosystem for the open source, circular economy.
I'd like to know in what ways our program overlaps with your interests? Does the open source economy speak to you as the next evolution of human consciousness? Do you want to build a kind of world that you would want your children to live in, and have the tech skills to design and build it? Do you want to help create a passionate, high performing tribe of lifelong learners? If so, I'd like to talk to you further.
Thanks,
Marcin

Open Source Microfactories - Today
Dear _______,
I'm the founder of Open Source Ecology - please see https://www.ted.com/talks/marcin_jakubowski. We're working on distributed manufacturing - and are looking to build relationships with Fab Academy grads. We envision open source microfactories as the next engine of industrial production, and are looking for ways to close the gap to production by the masses as proposed over a decade ago in Fab.
Our proposed solution is a crash course to teach collaborative, open source product development - in hackerspaces worldwide. Second, to run regular, well-funded Incentive Challenges for open product design. Third, to run Extreme Builds with tons of people where we do rapid prototyping in real life. We would like to accelerate the future of distributed production so it can happen today - via many microfactories producing common goods in circular economies. Right now we are developing the Open Source Microfactory STEAM Camp Curriculum, and plan to run 12 events in different cities at the same time in early 2020. We'd like to have you as an instructor for a 9 day event, and we pay instructors US$5-8k per event.
I'd like to know in what ways our program overlaps with your interests? Does the open source economy speak to you as the next evolution of human consciousness? Do you have the desire to build a world that you would want your children to live in? Do you want to help create a passionate, high performing tribe of collaborative learners? If so, I'd like to talk to you further. I'd also like to hear your feedback on the main obstacles to fab labs having significant economic impact? We have some ideas about this, see our Limits of Distributed Manufacturing page.
