IDAS Workshop: 03 What Is The Distributed Manufacturing Scenario

Open P2P Design Enabling Design 2.0 through Open Processes, Systems, Tools and Projects Massimo Menichinelli Roger Pitiot Day 04: Introduction to November 20th-23rd 2009 the Distributed IDAS, Seoul http://www.workshop.colab-design.org/ Manufacturing Scenario http://openp2pdesign.org

01. What is the Distributed Manufacturing Scenario ?

Design for a (Distributed) Scenario Open projects seem very fascinating, but are they really going to make a change? In order to make Open (P2P) Design a truly changing and problem-solving discipline: * we need to analyze current problems * we need to define possible new scenarios that address these problems * we need to design strategic projects to reach these scenarios * we need to metadesign processes for collective and distributed action --> May an Open, P2P and Distributed Scenario be the answer?

Design for the current Scenario We need to recognize the scarcity of some resources: * water/food * oil/energy * materials * money We need to recognize the abundance of some resources: * knowledge/information * distributed software, hardware and omputing power --> A Scenario where design is used not to produced more objects but to valorize scarce physical resources and to share intellectual ones

Design for a new, Distributed Scenario Based on: * energy: distributed generation * physical goods: distributed manufacturing * financial resources: open money And we need to redefine Design and its: * identity * knowledge * social networks * roles * processes * limits/choices --> Let's redefine and use Design for enabling Distributed Systems

Problems and Limits of Open Projects * lack of specific tools/softwares * some hardware/services need to evolve more * we need systems of services and technologies * open alone does not mean a project will be succesful, it needs a market, businesses models and marketing initiatives * open and p2p processes are very flexible (and can be used for wrong projects too) * open and p2p dynamics still not so widely understood and accepted * need for education about open p2p concepts first (and tools and processes then) --> Let's work on these issues, in an open and p2p way! But things are evolving really fast!

02. Business Models for Open Design

02.01 Typical Open Source Business Model You participate in an Open Design without being paid because: * you want to be part of a collaborative project * you want to learn * you want to solve a specific problem * you want to share knowledge and expertise * you want to have more reputation among other designers * you need help for developing a project * you want to showcase your experience as a designer to find a new job You participate in Open Design being paid by a company because: * they need a new open design project to profit from * they need an existing open design project but it's not ready yet This is how participation in an Open Source Software Works!

02.01 Typical Open Source Business Model A company can profit from an Open Design project because: * it sells the project (yes, you can do it even if you share it!) * it sells the manufactured project * it sells products or contents (books) related to the open design one * it sells projects built from the open design one * it sells services for the project * support * customized projects * education * ... * it gets fundings to develop the Open Design project This is how an Open Design project can profit!

For Free! Freemium http://www.wired.com/techbiz/it/magazine/16-03/ff_free http://www.amazon.com/Free-Future-Radical-Chris-Anderson/dp/1401322905 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freemium Freemium is a business model that works by offering basic services for free, while charging a premium for advanced or special features. The word "freemium" is a portmanteau created by combining the two aspects of the business model: "free" and "premium". The business model has gained popularity with Web 2.0 companies. (source: Wikipedia) This is how an Open Design project can profit!

Long Tail http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Long_Tail http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/12.10/tail.html The Long Tail or long tail is a retailing concept describing the niche strategy of selling a large number of unique items in relatively small quantities – usually in addition to selling fewer popular items in large quantities. (source: Wikipedia) And participation shows the same distribution!
