Open Architecture Collaborative

Point: Open Architecture Network was acquired by Architecture for Humanity, and Architecture for Humanity went bankrupt last year. Open Architecture Collaborative emerged as a new organization from this, and Open Building Institute may be interested in collaborating on product development. Open product development focus is different than 'delivering design advocacy, facilitation, assessment and small build services to their local marginalized communities'. It is "a tool kit" that includes designs, software, machines, and materials.
"open product development" vs "community development". The latter misses economic grounding in the next economy - the open source, collaborative economy.
