WHO are you?

  • Name - Alex Shure
  • Location (country) - Germany
  • Contact Information (email, phone) - alexshure (a) etemu dot com, mobile: +49 151 52716901
  • Introduction Video -
  • Resume/CV - technologist, inventor: electronics, prototyping, development and research.

WHY are you motivated to support/develop this work?

  • Do you support open source culture?

Yes, actively.

  • Why are you interested in collaborating with us?

I like to create/craft/tinker.

  • How do you think that the GVCS and Open Source Hardware can address pressing world issues?


  • What do you like in OSE Europe?


  • What should happen so that you become more involved with OSE Europe?

Let's wait for some time to pass, OSE Community in Germany is too virgin right now. However, successful fundraising and a lab/workshop village/place full of interesting people, ideas and machines in Germany seems attractive to me.

  • What is missing in OSE Europe?

New inventions. We shouldn't focus on the GVCS.

  • What are your suggestions for improvement in OSE Europe?

Found and start something like an OSE Factory E Farm in Germany :-)

WHAT are your skills?

  • List all of your skills in these areas, at what level (beginner, intermediate, advanced) and where did you practice them:
    • Web Development -
    • Natural Building -
    • Construction -
    • Architecture -
    • Woodworking - intermediate -> worked as a carpenter some time ago.
    • Electronics - advanced
    • Automation - intermediate
    • Metallurgy -
    • Engineering - advanced
    • CAD Design - beginner
    • Energy - advanced -> power sources, renewable energy, efficiency calculations, grid layout, power consumption, rectifying techniques, power supplies, inverters, off-grid-systems
    • CNC - advanced -> construction, maintenance of stepping motor and servo driven machines, retrofitting lathes and milling machines with modern hardware, LinuxCNC (formerly EMC2, the enhanced machine controller)
    • Product Design - advanced -> (working at etemu.com prototyping)
  • How have you already contributed to OSE, OSE Europe and Open Source Hardware?

Yes, multiple times. And I include the OSHW logo in any of my open source PCB and hardware designs.

HOW can you help?

  • How do you want to contribute?

Giving advice in engineering and bringing new inventions to life. Creating OSE Community in Germany

  • Can you volunteer to work with us, and if so, how many hours per week? Or do you have a free timeframe (week, month)?


  • Are you interested in working with us for pay? If so, what services can you offer, and what is your hourly or per-project rate?

Yes, e.g. I could provide special parts machined on a lathe.

  • Are you interested in being part of one of the OSE communities in Europe? If so in which country?

Yea maybe, in the UK or Germany!

  • Are you interested in a Dedicated Project Visit in OSE Communities in Europe? If so in which country?

Yea maybe, in the UK or Germany!

  • Are you interested in building GVCS or other Open Source Hardware equipment in Europe? If so which ones?

Yes. It would make sense to begin with the power sources and tools. And I would like to invent new designs rather than just copy the GVCS stuff.

No.

  • Would you like to see yourself working with us on a full-time basis?


Your Friends and Community

  • What friends, people, communities and organizations do you know who are already doing valuable work for a better future? For example: open source hardware/software, sustainable agriculture, natural building, renewable energy, abundance based economies, local production or others?


  • What are the technological (machines, tools, structures, ...) and biological (people, animals, plants, ...) needs of your community so that it becomes self-sufficient locally and globally connected?


  • Are your friends and community doing valuable work for a better future? How can they become more involved in this process and share more with everyone?
