We've begun our first sprint of the Primer project.

We're using Basecamp as a team collaboration tool with Agile Scrum methods.

It seems very nimble and well-suited to helping an adaptable team like ours get things done. I like it enough that I'd recommend it to others. If you want to try basecamp yourself, you can help fund Spacepnk and the Primer by giving Basecamp our affiliate code: ALEXPEAKE.

Space programs don't pay for themselves, so Spacepunk has a bootstrapping booster rocket. Tactical Corsets is a new venture to produce high-function high-fashion gear for women. It's also a fundraiser to help Alex Peake fund spacepunk.org and Empowerment projects. Alex created Tactical Corsets in part to build the kind of economic sustainability required to complete major undertakings like building the Polymath's Primer.

The Tactical Corsets project is also the first stage of the Empowerment Toolpedia project to organize the best tools for the job by reviewing what exists and producing what should exist. Developing a commercial and at-cost ecommerce and manufacturing capability will come in handy in the future as we expand to need new tools and ways to distribute them widely.
