Frank is joined by Marcin Jakubowski, visionary behind the Open Source Ecology Project. With just a $100 million share of the global economy, open source hardware and manufacturing has quite a bit of scaling up to do if it is to be successful. Marcin is trying to address this head-on. Topics of discussion include an update on the OSE Project, Thomas Edison as an archetype for a process of invention, economic models for scaling up, and an upcoming microhouse design workshop to be hosted in late September 2014.
