A
Thing:
that's
just
for
quality
control
purposes.
No,
so
everybody
else
can
can
see
this.
So
let's
go
quickly
just
through
the
dev
team
meeting
agenda
notes
and
the
current
projects
at
this
point
for
anyone
who's
doing
this.
Seeing
this
in
this
meeting
kind
of
from
the
high
up
perspective
is
that
we
are
working
primarily
on
a
3d
printer.
A
People
and
immersion
is
coming
up
again
and
let's
say
in
about
five
months
or
April
May,
so
we're
gonna
try
to
try
to
do
that
on
the
continuous
basis
as
a
regular
part
of
our
program
now
I'll
let
Sarah
and
Alex
actually
talk
a
little
bit
about
their
experience,
but
before
we
do
that,
just
a
couple
more
updates.
As
far
as
what's
going
on
in
the
background
currently-
and
that
is
things
like
Jonathan
tack,
axe
he's
in
Ohio
but
he's
working
on
a
PVC
version
of
the
3d
printer,
you
can
see
some
of
his
pictures.
A
The
pretty
the
PVC
version
is
attractive
in
a
sense
that
you
can
printed
the
PVC
corners
and
then
you
can
use
PVC
pipe
for
a
low-cost
version
and
I
just
published
both
materials.
That's
$250
for
a
complete
machine
without
heat
bed
still
with
the
LCD
screen,
but
using
PVC
and
really
producing
the
part,
count
reducing
the
complexity
of
that
$250,
which
may
prove
quite
valuable
for
an
easy
entry
level
build
now.
B
D
A
A
Okay,
cool
stuff-
all
right,
so
maybe
we'll
make
sure
that
we
can
give
this
up
up
and
running
so
aid
in
the
background
is
working
and
the
power
cube
he's
been
working
on
it
for
a
long
time
and
that's
directly
relevant
to
the
micro
tractor
and
the
bigger
tractors,
because
we
can
put
several
power
cubes
on
a
bigger
tractors.
Now
the
relevance.
A
Recently,
uplift,
that
is
the
idea
that
there's
a
pilot
so
we're
looking
at
a
potential
pilot
pilot
in
Ghana,
where
we
build
a
tractor,
the
micro
track
in
in
one
day
with
50
people,
so
50
of
the
local
people
and
teaching
them
how
to
build
the
tractors
through
a
local,
open
source
microfactory.
So
that's
actually
a
potentially
a
really
amazing.
A
And
just
got
to
write
that
up
as
a
proposal
and,
let's
see
if
that
goes
through.
That's
interesting
work
there.
What
else
is
happening
behind
behind
there?
So
there's
some
work
being
done
on
on
a
buck
boost
converter.
That
is
another
word
for
a
power
supply
DC
to
DC
converter,
and
we
can
yeah
use
that
for
the
universal
power
supply,
that's
going
to
be
relevant
to
welders,
to
charge
controllers
to
solar
energy,
induction
furnace
and
everything
else,
but.
A
Few
of
us
here
on
the
meeting
so
so
Herman
was
he's
in
Germany
right
now
and
he's
studying
mechatronics,
but
I
want
Alex
and
Sarah
to
get
on
a
box
and
maybe
tell
us
a
little
bit
cuz
I
know.
Hermanas
was
still
interested
he's
actually
interested
in
applying
to
the
OSC
program
in
that
future.
We'll
see
if
that
works
out,
but
he's
studying
mechatronics
in
Germany
right
now
just
to
get
some
basic
work
experience,
but
he
said
that
his
heart
is
really
in
Community
Economic
Development.
B
A
See
if
we
can
make
you
know
how
far
we
get
on
that
open-source
microfactory
and
making
it
available
to
everyone,
but
maybe
come
on.
Do
you
have
some
specific
questions
about
like?
What's
what
are
the
most
pressing
questions
you
have
for
the
results
of
the
immersion
program
so
for
Alex.
Now
that
Alex
and
Sarah
talk
about
their
experience,
I.
D
Am
intrigued
more
than
anything
in
the
overall
overall
experience,
whether
the
expectations
were
and
meet
were
met
or
yeah,
just
just
with
have
an
idea
of
the
of
the
feeling.
The
feeling
also
because
I
see
this
as
an
amazing
amazing
opportunity,
it's
something
so
out
of
me
out
of
the
common,
so
I
just
want
to
yeah
bad
experience
but
be
and
what
they
has
how
they
are
seeing
themselves
after
the
experience
in
the
future.
How
do
they
see
me
yeah?
How
do
you
see
yourself
at
Sarah
and
Sarah
yeah
holidays
comes
Alex.
C
C
C
Why
I'm,
here
at
open
source,
ecology
is
just
I
wasn't
like
I'm
a
software
developer
I'm
also
an
organizer
or
yes
like
Asian
Diaspora
identity,
veyts
in
America,
like
I,
it's
a
healing
healing
justice,
I
stuck
and
like
wanted
to
do
more
like
weeds
or
States.
Things
I
think,
there's
a
shortage
of
that
at
least
organizing
that's
one
year
and.
C
C
Think
that's
how
we're
gonna
organize
the
three
frontier
workshops
based
on
all
we
learned
during
the
immersion
areas,
but
in
general
I
think
I
think's
definitely
went
I
mean
the
first
week,
especially
where
I
guess,
a
combination
of
like
changes
in
the
supply
chain,
leading
to
an
increased
documentation,
really
leaving
a
lot
of
rework
things
up
like.
Oh,
this
part
isn't
working,
and
there
was
a
lot
of
like
room
for
that
like
what
would
work
and
like
there's
like
20
people.
C
This
silat
map,
until
okay,
but
just
like
pull
the
circle
or
I,
guess
people
to
be
seen
in
that
way.
Let
the
people
really
walking
away
with
being
able
to
see
what
the
best
parts
of
at
least
the
first
ones
like
being
connected
lots
of
really
think
people
like,
although
they
come
from
background
and
like
motivation,
so
like
common,
like
painting
something
really
valuable
in
open
source,
ecology,
any
must
people
walk
away.
C
And
then
like
in
terms
of
like
that,
after
that,
where
is
just
me
Darren
Dixon-
and
it
was
also
the
other
people
where
originally
part
of
the
bike
I
have
week
immersion,
but
we
dropped
out
because
they
felt
like
their
expectation,
man,
I,
think
they're,
correct,
there's
a
description
of
the
workshop
curriculum
it
can
be,
but
they
didn't
really
understand
it.
That
was
aspirational.
C
C
C
E
C
C
A
C
C
C
C
Of
that
not
necessarily
for
all
decision,
but
the
thing
that
impact
sort
of
like
the
process
or
our
structure
and
it
one
it's
a
level,
but
things
like
work
session
regimented
for
everything
is
like
provide
some
structure
for
sort
of
like
really
high
level
thing
like
okay,
what
are
the
big
things?
Everything.
C
D
C
Get
any
I
mentioned
it
earlier,
but
as
an
organizer
kind
of
organizing
that
I
organize,
meaning
that
the
community
does
its
own
capacity.
Make
things
happen,
there's
a
lot
of
like
activism,
where
you're
really
requesting
these
sorts,
and
it's
found
escape
we're
like
some
etheric
body,
and
when
you
do
that,
you
know
he's
not
a
correlation.
We
African
outcome.
It's
really
based
on
somebody
else
and
like
I,
don't
think.
That's
like
a
good,
that's
nice
of
energy,
like
kind
of
work
that
I
think
is
really
good.
C
We're,
like
you
need
sure,
just
like
healing
in
transformative
justice,
tech
stuff,
where
it's
like
until
trauma
based
on
like
stuff
that
they
not
have
to
do
and
then
like
I,
also
think
open
source
ecology,
like
that's
up,
is
really
good
or
feeling
good,
but
it's
not
really
good
for
changing
like
resource
it's
drama
or
stuff
like
that
are
just
changing
them
in
stereo
vision
and
I.
Think
like
opens,
my
psychology
is
really
potentially
very
important.
Hey
that
stars
mean
I
can
resource.
Today
you
mean
any
days:
I
can't
wear
my
power
from
the
people.
C
C
D
D
C
C
E
Like
myself,
personally
and
I'm,
like
yeah,
like
I,
find
comfort
in
the
fact
that,
like
we're,
not
in
some
posh
like
conference
room,
doing
that
work,
like
that's
fun,
you're,
like
a
factory
farm,
you
get
real
life,
but
if
you
just
give
a
real
life
venue
in
work
being
done,
and
that
like
the
state
of
our
planet,
is
the
fact
that
this
is
how
people
are
gonna
further
out
with
the
bath.
Water
is
a
test
to
a
level
of
weirdness
and
to
kind
of
do
the
work
that
needs
to
be
done
right
now.
A
D
D
Oh
I,
give
you
a
ruffed
I
am
new
here
in
Germany,
and
I
only
learn
a
couple
months
ago,
dusty
that
they
have
something
here,
that
we
call
social
market
economy
and
this
social
market
economy
allows
offer
and
demand
to
work
the
way
in
the
market.
But
there
is
an
obligation
towards
the
social
side
of
things.
So
when
you.
D
When
you
start
a
business
or
when
you
work
for
a
company,
you
have
the
obligation
to
pay
for
the
people
that
is
not
able
to
participate
its
market
economy.
So
you
must
pay
this
type
of
mandatory
currencies.
Then
you
have
to
play
and
discover,
for
example,
a
house
for
those
who
cannot
afford
the
house
take
cover.
B
D
Where
you
are
wondering
where
they,
where
is
everything
going
that
they
have,
they
have
so
many
insurances,
so
many
securities,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,
what
I
want?
What
I
wonder
since
I
am
is
how
do
you
get
these
people
or
people
in
this
sort
of
I?
Think
you
think,
and
at
the
during
my
my
English
is
a
little
bit
rusty
at
the
moment,
because
I
am
struggling
with
German.
D
D
B
D
What
I,
what
I
mean
is
so
how
do
you
get
people
that
leaves
comfortably?
That
has
no
real
worries
in
their
lives
because
there's
a
system
rights
that
is
needed
better
because
you
are
at
the
end
of
the
day,
for
example,
if
I
were
to
depend
on
the
social
assistance
again
everything
that
the
thing
needs
it
needs
are
forward,
but
I
cannot
go
beyond
they
smashed
in
want
to
go
to
that
extreme
business.
Sir,
had
you
have
mentioned
it
before,
so
you
get
only
to
this
point.
D
C
C
C
C
C
Like
I
know
that
there's
already
really
big
recycling
in
me,
okay,
not
terribly
relevant,
but
at
least
an
eagle-
that's
like
recycling
like
that
could
be
a
thing
like
with
just
a
feeding
printer
alone.
Maybe
a
lot
of
people
wouldn't
care
of
the
addition
of
more
machines
like
a
school
that
wants
to
teach
children,
not
alike
witness
recycling,
recycling
ecosystem.
C
So,
like
I
think
the
main
thing
isn't
the
focus
on
people
who
had
the
most
well,
who
are
the
most
comfortable
and
like
I,
can
make
them
change.
I
think
the
main
thing
is
like,
and
that
kind
of
thing
is
like
for
people
who
are
gonna
be
an
opportunity,
as
like
an
entrepreneur,
create
a
new
way
for
people
to
interact
and
like
change
like
writing
with
people
who
are
on
the
edge
of
already
ready
for
this,
and
then
adds
more
machines
come
in
more
and
more
people
will
be
able
to
benefit
more
and
more
away.
A
D
Yeah
I
think
I
think
it's
in
a
thing
that
has
to
do
with
the
number
the
numbers
again,
the
more
people
involved,
the
more
contagious.
Is
it
bombs
and
did
the
movement.
The
open
source,
maybe
in
Germany,
is
a
lot
bigger
than
what
I
expected,
despite
the
stability
that
I
see
as
a
not
to
help
thing,
but
I
am
I,
am
participating.
I
am
involved,
I'm
not
doing
anything
actively,
but
I
am
listening.
D
Constant
reading
the
and
the
messages
that
go
back
and
forth
in
a
couple
of
groups
from
the
open
source
movement
and
of
the
source,
ecology,
the
money
and
there's
a
lot
of
people
involved,
doing
things
and
most
of
these
people
interested
in
each
our
University
students.
So
there
is
the
source
level
that.
D
And
this
is
not
to
say
not
give
you
enough,
but
it
depends
on
your
slab.
You
know
when
you,
when
you
find
that
a
job
in
a
place
where
there
is
no
much
happening
and
nobody
around
you
talks
about
all
the
things
that
do
I
have
enough
money
to
get
to
the
end
of
the
month
of
what
power
I'm
going
to
buy
next
year.
When
I
finish,
saving
my
money,
then
there
is
no
really
no
stimulus.
D
C
C
That
is
a
way
to
actively
contribute,
but
not
necessarily
in
terms
of
like
research.
Fine,
like
just
in
terms
of
like
what
scope
really
makes
sense
for
open
source
ecology
me
right
now.
It's
just
there
have
been
a
lot
of
people
who
come
through
they're,
not
here
right
now
for
the
most
part,
and
that
says
like
what
I
think
a
big
thing
is
just
having
a
better
on
boarding
process.
C
That's
that
gives
people
the
confidence
and
the
skill
set,
and
the
social
support
to
like
work
in
coordinate
on
doing
research
so
like
maybe
before
you
start
convincing
people
who,
like
aren't
that
interested
for
people
who
are
interested.
How
do
you
support
them
and
there's
a
lot
of
them?
Thousands
of
people
are
a
or
actively
interested
and
they're,
not
here,
right
now,.
D
A
Yeah
I
think
the
very
simple
answer
to
that
is
that
people
come
and
go
and
at
the
point
where
they
actually
can
start
getting
livelihood
from
the
work.
That's
when
the
movement
has
a
chance
to
grow
just
like
Linux
within
a
few
years,
they're,
starved,
they're,
funded
by
major
corporations
and
and
getting
their
livelihood
made.
So
I
would
argue
that
argument
where
they
said.
Oh
yeah.
This
is
just
so
much
fun
and
we
do
it
for
for
our
passion
and
no
other
thing.
A
If
that
passion
is
not
met
by
revenue,
then
they
go
on
to
working
for
whoever
gives
them
the
revenue
and
for
the
case
of
all
I,
see
it's
the
standard
corporation.
That's
our
or
just
the
mainstream
system
that
we're
competing
with.
So
unless
we
provide
livelihood
for
people,
then
it's
gonna
be
people
coming
in
and
out
so
and
that's
that's
the
reason
for
starting
the
immersion
program.
So
that's
that's
the
current
simple
path
of
our
strategy
for
growing
that
people
who
come
in
have
to
be
making
money
doing
this
for
a
living.
A
Yeah
yeah
it
has
to
come
from
somewhere
and
our
slow
growth
is
the
fact
that
we're
saying
well
we're
gonna
bootstrap
this
thing,
because
that's
a
if
you
want
to
start
a
movement.
That's
the
only
way
you
can
make
a
sustainable
movement
that
grows
otherwise.
At
a
certain
point,
you'd
hit
a
bottleneck
of
growth,
which
would
maybe,
in
a
short
term,
it's
okay.
We
grew
some,
but
we
want
to.
You
want
to
have
a
profound
impact
on
the
way
things
go
and
I.
Think
bootstrapping
is
a
good
way
to
do
that.
A
It's
harder
it's
much
harder,
but
it's
a
scalable
way,
because
you
have
to
prove
to
people
that
it's
actually
working.
You
cannot
be
doing
stuff
that
doesn't
make
sense
like
people
getting
top-down
funding,
laptop
top-down
funded
stuff
does
not
have
its
inherent
merit.
It
survives
only
because
people
throw
a
lot
of
money
at
it
and
that
made
it
grow,
but
we're
trying
to
not
do
that
and
say:
ok,
let's,
let's
have
see
what
things
actually
grow
on
their
own
merit.

A

Others
to
competition
many
times,
because
is
that
thing
that
brings
you
some
at
the
end
of
the
day
can
bring
you
again
to
where
you
were
before
to
this?
Is
race
is
race
towards
a
place
where
you
are
not
certain?
If
you
are
going
to
reach
it
or
not,
and
you
may
you
may
end
up,
you
may
end
up
end
up
running
until
the
end
of
your
days,
yeah.

Something
that
I
was
talking
discussing
with
Rozlyn
and
couple
months
ago
was
they
were
taking.
They
are
working
here,
Solar,
solar
box
system,
and
they
were
talking
about
taking
it
somewhere,
I,
don't
remember,
Pakistan,
India
away
and
the
the
discussion
going
on
what
how
do
you?
You
were
saying
about
bringing
this
this
chapter
of
the
micro
tractor
to.
A
But
no,
the
the
quick
answer
on
that
is
don't
know.
Accept
all
I
know
is
that
we
can
try
to
try
to
make
a
positive
change.
So
the
idea
there
is
believe
it
or
not.
It's
not
for
sale.
The
tractors
are
to
be
used
by
the
people
themselves,
the
farmers,
so
the
idea
was
to
train
them
how
to
build
them,
an
open
source,
off-grid
micro
factories
and
and
they
run
the
production
and
they
use
them
themselves.
A
Have
to
pay
attention
to
that
like
that's,
why
I
don't
care
you
know
like
I
care
to
work
in
the
United
States,
where
I'm
familiar
with
what
happens
like
I,
won't
attract
I,
know,
there's
people
that
want
a
tractor
here
and
stuff
like
that.
I
have
no
authority
to
talk
about
what
Africa
needs,
but
if
there's
a
program,
so
this
is
this
idea
is
where
the
collaborators
they're
they're
interested
in
funding
this
this
major
scheme
of
doing
that
and
spreading
that
widely
across
Africa.
