Keep Makers in Focus and Open Source.

PreFoundation

Autonomy through Communication
Let's Make, and if it fails, let's Make over.
Begin and end with most relevant.

MiniDevelopment Platform

State your project clearly to Open Manufacturing.
Make a concise wiki for each project to inform our group.
Make collaborators:


Inquire to the group for...

  • participation
  • knowledge
  • materials
  • funding


Let's perfect the art of...

  • vision
  • organization
  • fabrication
  • documentation
  • replication


General Development & Resource Templates

A place for general project ideas and knowledge segments that prime the creative pump.

Make Fab Lab

  • Who will participate?
  • What is the production knowledge for construction?
  • Where are the materials? 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?

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 reduces cost to materials that far exceed a market price.
  • Non-DIY means your investment will generate a product to be purchased by you for far less than the market price. Your investment generates this savings.

MakerBenefit

  • Maker recieves income based on average hourly construction time.
  • Maker then has incentive to reduce construction time, automating construction until "no assembly required."

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

Pays Makers to fully automate fabrication. Both Users and Makers benefit by producing abundantly.

Consequence

A 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.
