SMEs = Subject Matter Experts

HintLightbulb.png Hint: To identify SMEs, you can read the Book and draw up an extensive list of them based on the various topics discussed in the book. The book provides reference material that explains some of the context for each SME, so that the overall SME team is comprehensive, but not too overwhelming. Priorities are set by assessing each SME and their role over the next 5 years. 1/2018

Introduction

Learning from Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) is a good way to engage in rapid learning, and this is central to OSE's work. If the SMEs understand open culture, then good collaboration can occur. The most useful SMEs are producers of goods or services that lend themselves to OSE's Extreme Manufacturing Workshops or Extreme Learning Workshops in general. These workshops involve education (knowledge is the most valuable currency in the information age) and production - which are both forms of capital that can provide positive feedback loops in product development that could yield the open source economy.

OSE relies heavily on SMEs to opensource the economy.

SMEs are invited to present Webinars (including presentations during OBI Workshops and OSE Workshops, to become Advisors, to draw up Design Guides. Design Sprints can be used for producing Design Libraries - the last point of development for a Construction Set Approach to open-sourcing civilization - ie, Open Source Blueprints for Civilization - v0.1 forthcoming June 2018.

In order to identify SMEs, we search all possible sources:

  • YouTube
  • Google, Google Images, Google Books
  • Businesses that sell the product
  • Organizations involved in the area of endeavor
  • Specific tech sites:Hackaday has a lot of useful content, Appropedia, Instructables, Journey to Forever
  • Research institutes
  • University professors and departments
  • Online forums and groups - especially the leaders of those groups and forums

A good practice is to find the author on a certain paper - and ask them for help. Typically, those people who write in various publications are knowledgeable and can provide perspective.

Action

Thus, when you identify someone - the next step is to email them.

Dear _____________,

I am working with Open Source Ecology (see the TED Talk by the Founder - https://www.ted.com/talks/marcin_jakubowski). We are currently designing open source blueprints for civilization, starting with Housing. We just began a project called Open Building Institute - see http://openbuildinginstitute.org.

We are looking for subject matter expert advisors who can help us on identifying the best designs and practices for various technologies that we are open sourcing. We are focusing now on the build of a Seed Eco Home and Aquaponic Greenhouse (see build workshops - http://openbuildinginstitute.org/workshops-events/.

All of our plans become public domain, available to everyone.

Can you contribute your expertise on ___________________ ? We are looking for technical advice, with a minimum of 1 hour per quarter commitment. Please see our existing Team of Advisors - http://openbuildinginstitute.org/about-who-we-are/.

Specifically, we would like to ask you if you can help us develop a low cost, open source, high performance version of the __________________ that will be used in the Seed Eco Home - http://openbuildinginstitute.org/how-it-works/#utilities

Thanks,
