Timeframe

Kurzgesagt says the exponential phase of mirror deployment can be accomplished over a ten year period, so. Let's work backwards.

• 2040 deployment complete, dyson swarm online and sending at full power.
• 2030 deployment started, deployment test phase begins.
• 2029 sponsored launch.
• 2027 plans finalized, sponsors in place, product assembly begins.
• 2026
• 2025 unit testing started
• 2024
• 2023
• 2022
• 2021 management structure in place, team structures tested
• 2020 mirrorswarm.com registered, planning starts.

Strategy

started John (talk) 11:59, 3 January 2020 (UTC)

• An emergent team structure driven by progressive analysis of the requirement.
• A long-term management structure aimed at retaining control of the swarm to oversee compliance with the constraints, initially achieved by Jowan's voting control. This start-up direction model is BDFL (Benevolent dictator for life).
• Make it work on paper before anyone takes out a screwdriver.
• Small project teams
• Rapid prototyping
• High transparency
• Asynchronous cooperation
• Webinar meetings and conferences for documentation and open access
• Actively avoid back channels, leave a documentation trail
• Avoid proprietary or patented technology where it is applicable.
• Early access to spin-off open source technology will attract business participants
