OPEN SOURCE DIY CNC "thing"
Greetings - Here is a new thread to assemble the "stuff" we've got going for the OpenSource DIY CNC - mother -of -all things.
The name need a little work - but we'll get plenty of help I'm sure!
Started this thread to give us a place to start the voulnteer list. Collected the following names from the other thread - and everyone have a review and validate or add your name, any thing you need to say, maybe even indicate any preferences as to which team(s) you'd like to be involved in
Please make sure you've had a read of the documents that follow:
the Roadmap;
the intro to IPT;
the Draft Charter; the Mission, Vision, Goals (draft),
and
Timeline.
These can be considered "DRAFT" and offer a baseline for discussion. That said, the sooner we settle on them, the sooner we get our project completed.
The thread pminmo started is comming along and represents the type of communications I believe we'll see.

Draft Mission Vision Goals for the Effort
Here is a sample of the proposed Mision, Vision and Goal statement for the effort. Teams will need to review, validate, develop, ratify, theirs and this set as well. Offered for our discussion and consideration.
Attention DIY-CNC Team players
Our CncAdmin - - Paul is going to set up a seperate forum for our team's activity. With a separate Forum - we can have the 9 elements as individual threads, and we can post our efforts there in the appropriate thread - and move them around I suppose if needed.
The big plus is it gives write access to the team members only and read access to all. Sorta puts us in a fishbowl - the newest "reality-online-show?" :eek:
Title: DIY CNC Quick Start Team -- "Conferrence Room" - or something like that. We outta get a name - but thats not neearly as important to the tasks we've cut out for ourselves!!! (I'm sure we'll get lots of inputs :cool:
