A presentation I gave at Codemotion Roma 2013 on March the 22nd. This presentation connects the dots between the resource depletion trends (off peak), advancements in digital fabrication, open design, agile and lean manufacturing and shows the potential that an open production ecosystem may mean for ut in the future. For those interested, here's a strongly related initiative that is also mentioned in the presentation: http://www.opensourcewarehouse.org/ Also, please note this work is strongly based on discussion I had with ouishare, open source ecology, open source hardware association, open knowledge foundation, etc... In particular I wanted to thank: - Marcin Jakuboski - Catarina Mota - Alicia Gibb - Massimo Menichinelli - Joe Justice

applies back to the physical world

53. Lean Agile

55. one day

56. Since we built our first prototype of The Liberator (CEB
press) four years ago, we’ve been refining the machine and
optimizing fabrication to make it the simplest, highest
performance, and most replicable, open source
compressed earth brick press in the world. The first
prototype took a month to build. We have streamlined
fabrication to 4 days in September of this year, 2 days in
November, and on December 18 – we achieved the one day
build.
