| | Nathan Cravens: |
| State your project clearly to [http://groups.google.com/group/openmanufacturing Open Manufacturing] to incite collaberation.<br>
| | "Here is a model to use when approaching the Open Manufacturing list with your design inquires. Please revise it for general use. The [http://groups.google.com/group/openmanufacturing Open Manufacturing list] began as a discussion of theory. We now need to move forward and collaborate for action in order to put theory to practice." |
| Make a concise wiki for each project to inform our group.<br>

| ==Make Fab Lab==
| |
| Define the FabLab tool-in-focus. When the question or issue comes, ask:
| |
| *Who will '''participate''' in constructing the FabLab tool-in-focus?
| |
| *Who has the production '''knowledge''' for constructing the tool? What is the most effective knowledge to use in building it?
| |
| *Where can the '''materials''' or tools be found to build the tool? Who has them freely available to contribute? (or) Where can they be found for least cost?
| |
| *How can we attract '''funding'''? Where can we attract it? Will you fund the FabLab tool-in-focus?

| ===MakerBenefit===
| |
| *A Fab Lab to use.
| |
| *Maker recieves income based on average hourly construction time when building for others.
| |
| *Maker then has incentive to reduce construction time, automating construction until "no assembly required."
| |
| | |
| ===Benefits for Investors (MetaMakerBenefit)===
| |
| *Your investment far exceeds the purchase price you and others will pay for a finished product. In other words, more money stays in your pocket after product aquisition. In the long run, with the MakerFocus and local "free market" economies in widespread practice, money will increase in value per monetary metric, meaning, more bang for the buck.
| |
| *Use of Fabrication Facilities are no charge by appointment to construct DIY. Your monetary investment and your Maker effort reduces cost to materials alone.
| |
| *Non-DIY means your investment generates a finished product purchased "fabricator direct" by you for far less than any market price. Your investment generated this savings. Current Industrial standard suspect most investors will opt for this option more often until more detailed instructive documentation or automation of assembly enhances the chain.
| |
| | |
| ==UnPatent==
| |
| *Reverse engineer aquisitions into Open Source
| |
| | |
| ==Documentation==
| |
| *Document construction of designs an intelligent child can use for Making
| |
| *Use video and other multimedia for more complete communication
| |
| | |
| ==Full Automation Fund==
| |
| This provides an income, if necissary, to fully automate a fabrication-in-focus. Ideal organizational approaches match a Maker with a fabrication process that continues to require hands-on human effort. Full automation is in everyone's interest, including the interests of the Maker. Both Makers and users benefit in achieving this goal by producing more abundantly. If all organizations of production practice this method, each monetary metric will increase in value until a monetary metric is no longer required to manage resources. Full automation begins with retiring human tasks and ends by creating a closed loop of materials regeneration in a manner most ecologically sound.
| |
| ===Consequences===
| |
| A [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_income Basic Income] must be in place for non or retired Makers to continue aquisition and metatool rights if material scarcity or lack of Maker volunteerism remains in the chain.
| |
| | |
| Further, when full automation is common place in a majority of areas of production, monetary systems, likely revised many times over, must retire onto an ethical system of use and aquisition, ideally greater than any human want or need.
| |
| | |
| These consequences depend on the evolution of a freely available ''personal'' communications media, organizational structures, and technological infrastructures.
