A
So,
starting
to
record
so
at
osc
we
not
only
develop
the
the
technology
openly,
but
we
also
aim
to
distribute
the
enterprise
that
comes
from
it
and
that
we
call
the
distributed
enterprise
concept.
So
it's
critical
to
our
work,
because
we
feel
that
that
the
promise
of
open
hardware
goes
all
the
way
up
to
changing
people's
lives
in
tangible
ways,
because
hardware
is
tangible.
So
therefore,
how
do
you
change
people's
lives?
It's
what
people
do
for
a
living
and
therefore
enterprise
is
a
natural
fallout.
A
So
we
talk
about
the
long-term
view
of
trent
a
transition
where
people
get
get
to
self-determination
by
enabling
tools.
So
so
the
open
hardware
has
a
very
critical
effect
on
what
actually
people
do
for
a
living.
Now,
that's
not
what
we've
been
doing
for
the
last
decade,
we've
just
been
prototyping
stuff
and
finding
what
works
and
not,
and
one
of
the
main
discoveries
from
all
that
time
was
that
yeah
I
mean
technology
works,
there's
definitely
limits
to
what
technol
to
access
to
technology.
A
When
we
started
on
this
land,
I
mean
I
didn't
really
know
that
I
thought
okay!
Well,
you
can
research
stuff.
You
can
find
stuff
on
the
internet,
but
there's
limits
to
it.
So
when
we
came
out
here,
I
read
all
the
books.
You
know
on
permaculture
appropriate
technology,
renewable
energy
and
this,
and
that
I
study
as
much
of
that
as
I
could
during
my
phd.
A
In
fact,
I
almost
got
kicked
out
because
I
was
doing
probably
more
of
that
than
my
phd
work
as
I
was
getting
alienated
from
fusion
energy,
so
you
know
thought
I
was
so
somewhat
prepared,
but
then
you
hit
the
real
real
situation,
the
real
land
and
it's
different.
It's
it's
yeah!
It's!
I
gotta
tell
you
that
that
I
definitely
was
not
prepared.
Didn't
have
any
practical,
hands-on
experience
so
well,
but
we
did
learn
over
this
time
that
yeah
technology
does
work.
A
That's
that's
a
great
thing,
but
it's
a
totally
different
thing
than
than
developing
an
enterprise.
So
enterprise
is
like
developing
technology
too.
In
fact,
it's
like
the
second
half.
If
you
think
that
if
you
have
a
product,
you
can
sell.
Well,
no,
that's!
I
don't
think
that's
really
how
it
works.
I
think
running
a
business,
that's
like
a
whole
different
game
and
you
have
to
put
a
lot
of
energy
to
it.
We
haven't
done
put
a
lot
of
energy
to
it,
but
these
days
we
are-
and
we
were
talking
about
the
ideas
of
distributive
enterprise.
A
A
A
If
you
try
to
make
a
comparison,
but
I
think
we
can
just
like
with
the
technology
development
can
break
down
the
enterprise
aspects
into
main
main
things
that
we
can
develop
collaboratively.
So
what
we're
doing
right
now
is
with
the
cdca
home.
Given
that
everybody
wants
a
house,
it's
a
big.
It's
a
huge
market.
It's
like
trillions,
one
of
the
main
sectors
of
of
the
economy.
A
If
you
take
a
look
at
the
the
whole
economy
being
about
100
trillion,
how
much
of
it
is
wrapped
up
in
in
construction
and
building?
It's
like?
Maybe
a
quarter
or
maybe
20,
or
so
it's
huge,
huge,
very,
very
big,
and
we
went
on
to
the
pursuing
the
the
cdca
home
or
the
construction
aspect
much
more
seriously.
A
Actually,
when
the
covet
hit,
we
were
getting
into
a
lot
of
the
steam
camps,
work
with
3d
printers
and
electronics
coding
and
all
kinds
of
small
scale
way
to
involve
people
around
3d
printers,
which
any
anybody
can
get
into
and
then
kind
of
cover
crushed
it.
So
we
kind
of
asked:
what's
okay,
what
next
and
housing
came
up
as
definitely
okay,
that's
a
way
to
meet
like
the
number
one
cost
in
a
person's
life.
It's
a
very
important
topic
and
we
said
okay,
if
you're
gonna
sell
solve
problems,
let's
solve
that
one
first!
A
A
I
mean
you
know
what
it
builds
on
the
years
of
the
learning
that
we
have
done
around
construction,
also,
the
machines
and
all
together
open
source
work,
but
it
is
also
a
project
that
we
treat
just
like
all
the
other
things:
a
highly
modular
system
of
building
blocks.
So
using
the
construction
set
approach,
modularity
scalability
expandability,
for
example,
the
cdc
home
that
could
be
used
to
do
as
small
as
a
micro
house
of
256
square
feet
or
a
mcmansion
size
scale
thing
where
you
can
just
keep
building
on
it
up
to
three
floors.
A
I
did
the
other
day
we
kind
of
showed
the
expanded
model
of
the
house,
but
let's,
let's
actually
take
a
look
at
what
what
the
initial
goal
of
the
the
enterprise
session
was.
So
if
we
go
to
you
know,
we
have
the
announcement
for
the
summer
x,
it's
supposed
to
be
around
the
city,
the
home
and
it's
kind
of
focused,
but
also
because
we
use
a
construction
set
approach.
A
That
starts
with
stick
framing
right
now,
but
it's
definitely
next
year.
We
want
to
deploy
the
same
thing
in
ceb,
so
that's
that's
for
starters
and
then
getting
into
all
the
supporting
technologies.
There's
aquaponics
how
about
the
micro
factory
that
you
can
attach
to
your
greenhouse
to
to
your
workshop
or
whatever,
basically,
a
productive
ecosystem,
where
the
house
now
turns
from
being
a
complete
consumer
item
to
something
that
produces
food,
water,
energy
and
products.
A
You
know
in
your
micro
factory,
so
it's
part
of
a
larger
system
and
fits
into
the
whole
package
and
embodies
the
machines,
the
automation,
the
collaboration
aspect.
So
so
it's
a
good
choice
and
that's
why
we
went
with
it
and
are
very
intent
on
developing
this
model
and
and
we're
not
kidding
about
it.
We're
saying:
okay,
we're
going
to
start
an
enterprise
come
december
right
after
the
this
this
whole
summer
session
we're
building
the
first
real
client.
A
That's
probably
going
to
be
brian
one
of
our
friends
from
kansas
city,
but
the
idea
was
to
train
people,
so
people
like
christian
he'll,
be
here
others
where
we're
saying,
okay,
we're
showing
up
and
we're
gonna
build
this
house
jeff's
gonna
be
here.
A
So
we
are
actually
currently
setting
up
a
formal
apprenticeship
through
apprenticeships
through
the
department
of
labor
which
allow
people
to
get
some
benefits
from
the
gi
bill
to
get
into
that.
So
there's
that's
definitely
moving
forward,
but
the
idea
there
is.
How
do
we
scale
this
like
the
goal?
Right
now
is
to
double
operations
every
year
in
terms
of
revenue
and
impact
we're
at
200k
this
year,
so
next
you'll
be
like
400,
800,
etc.
Well,
how
about
10x
10x
is
easier
than
2x.
How
about
we
get
a?
A
We
train
a
bunch
of
people
to
to
do
the
construction
part
well
if
we
can
build
great
housing
and
there's
demand
for
them.
Well,
there's
the
whole
business
development
part
which
we're
working
on
right
now
and
we're
prototyping
still
the
product
at
this
point
and
moving
forward.
So,
but
if
you
look
at
the
announcement
what's,
there
is
a
little
bit
of
a
description.
A
So
if
we
just
go
back
into
the
summer
extreme
design
build
which
we
just
started
what's
the
enterprise
session
about,
so
it
was
advertised
as
here's
here's
a
little
about
section
we
get
into
there.
What
is
the
enterprise?
What
do
we
cover
and
there
was
somewhat
of
a
tentative?
Basically
here's
more
about
the
cdc
home
enterprise
track
within
the
description,
so
this
from
the
the
announcement
takes
you
to
the
enterprise
track
talking
about
intended
audience
co-creation.
A
We
also
have
some
remote
participants
that
that
are
taking
part
it's
about
developing
a
digital
model
for
a
highly
replicable
house,
which
we
call
housing
2.0.
You
can
take
a
look
at
that
and
the
topics
are
many
from
the
very
collaboration
like
how
do
we
design
this
thing?
Oh,
I
see
culture
and
osc
specifications
there's
a
whole
bunch
of
like.
A
If
okay
can
somebody
maybe
mirror
this
for
me
like
campus,
can
you
maybe
connect
to
the
screen,
so
I
mean
we're
not
we're
not
pulling
the
design
specifications
out
of
thin
air.
We
have
thought
a
lot
about
what
specific
properties
go
into
this
system
and
there
are
actually
quite
a
few
of
them
and
you
got
to
keep
track
of
all
of
them
because
otherwise
it
won't
make
sense.
A
Why
are
we
doing
things
a
certain
way
and
we're
definitely
trying
to
push
the
limit
on
on
doing
things
differently
and
innovating
constantly
so,
but
we
do
start
with
osce
specifications,
which
is
about
50
to
100
different
points,
trying
to
break
down
like
what
is
appropriate,
open
source
collaborative
scalable
modular
technology.
Look
like
what
are
the
social
impacts
of
that
and
trying
to
capture
that
in
a
general
framework
for
what
so
that
others,
when
they're
collaborating
we
can
be
on
the
same
page
in
terms
of
what
are
we
developing
for
and
a
lot
of
times.
A
Up
so
say,
take
this
facility
right
here
yeah,
we
could
evolve
to
say
around
a
dunbar's
number
for
a
fully
functional
community
that
that
has
access
and
has
actually
produces
all
the
technical
just
just
about
all
the
technology
it
it
needs
on
a
very
small
scale
and
in
fact
the
promise
of
the
whole
global
village
construction
set.
Is
that
any
parcel
of
land?
If
you've
got
soil
plants,
water
rocks,
sunlight
those
ingredients
make
a
whole
civilization.
You
know.
A
A
That's
at
lower
quality,
but
if
you
talk
about
refined,
high
quality
enterprise
level,
stuff
very
limited,
like
at
just
about
anything
in
open
hardware,
is
like
that:
there's
very
few
examples
of
things
that
actually
work
and
are
still
open
source.
So
it
kind
of
looks
like
things
are
open
source.
But
when
you
look
under
the
hood,
you
try
to
do
anything
you'll
see,
it
doesn't
exist
like,
for
example,
aquaponics.
You
think.
A
So
that's
the
distributive
enterprise
aspect,
the
idea
that,
as
you
develop
the
the
hardware
and
the
enterprise,
your
goal
is
to
train
others
to
effectively
get
yourself
out
of
business,
doing
it,
because
if
you
can
train
enough
people
doing
that,
then
you
can
continue
innovating.
So
the
open
source
model
is
completely
about
all
about
innovation.
A
It's
in
our
view.
It's
we.
I
guess
we
are
innovative
minded
like
that.
For
all
this
time
we've
been
prototyping,
discovering
new
things
reinventing
the
wheel
or
not,
but
it's
that
kind
of
nature
of
distributed
enterprise
we
feel
can,
if
it's
appropriate
scale,
not
huge
scale.
A
It
can
continue
to
to
expand
in
innovation
because
it's
got
low,
inertia
and
embodiment
of
of
trying
to
continue
things
the
way
they
are
because
of
your
investment
in
in
in
the
huge
systems
that
have
to
live
for
a
long
time
and
therefore
cause
inertia.
You
can't
innovate
because
you
gotta
use
up
your
capital
investment
to
run
forward
with
with
what
you
invested
in,
and
you
can't
innovate
anymore,
that's
kind
of
what
happens
to
a
lot
of
companies,
so
you
want
to
keep
small.
A
That's
one
of
the
keep
small
keep
to
an
appropriate
scale.
I
mean
it
can
be
huge
in
terms
of
impact,
but
it's
just
distributed.
So
we're
not
talking
about
inefficiency
or
like
not
replicable,
like
junkyard
parts,
we're
actually
not
talking
about
that
junkyard
parts
like
taking
car
parts
and
reworking
them
into
a
working
car
or
a
working
tractor.
Not
really
we.
A
We
do
another
thing
like
melt
that
down
and
get
virgin
steel,
but
as
far
as
replicability
aspects,
part
of
the
issue
is
that,
because
of
the
disintegrated
nature
of
of
technical
design
in
general,
things
are
inefficient.
They've
got
various
inefficiencies
or
you
know
like
if
you're
trying
to
take
apart
an
engine
or
just
a
car
like
unfixable
tractors,
unfixable
anymore,
that
kind
of
stuff
like
the
junkyard
we
drive
by
on
33,
like
all
these
cars,
are
almost
like
brand
new
they're,
like
all
brand
new
and
they're
in
a
junkyard.
A
That's
because
the
way
the
industrial
system
is
designed
for
that
and
part
of
the
for
us
open
source
means.
If
people
control
that
technology,
then
you're
actually
designing
everything
for
lifetime,
because
people
can
maintain
it
and
the
junkyard
goes
away.
You
have
reusable
parts
that
are
truly
reusable,
not
like
a
thousand
different
versions
of
this
alternator
that
you
can't
fit
it
from
one
card
to
another.
So
it's
about
really
creating
a
whole
pattern.
Language
of
common
parts,
a
high
level
of
standardization
without
dumbing
things
down
still
make
it
a
con.
A
How
do
you
reconcile
that
with
just
mass?
You
know
mass
mindset
and
herd
mentality?
Well,
no,
you
can
still
design
for
highly
flexible
modules
that
can
be
recombined
in
many
many
ways,
but
they
have
enough
similarity
that
they
actually
work
to
a
high
level
of
efficiencies.
I
mean
that's
what
people
claim
today
that
that
happens
like
in
the
industry,
there's
a
lot
of
claim
that
oh
yeah,
you
got
all
these
interchangeable
parts
and
this,
and
that
I
mean
definitely
could
be
better.
There's,
definitely
like
from
manufacturer
to
manufacturing.
A
We
got
a
lot
a
lot
of
difference.
So
that's
part
of
this
big
vision
of
making
an
appropriate
protect
like
a
technosphere,
basically
an
appropriate
technosphere
that
is
managed
by
humans.
