- From Open Source to Open Hardware
,----[ Quote ]
| This column mainly talks about open source
| software, for the simple reason that code
| dominates the world of openness. But open
| source hardware does exist, albeit in a
| very early, rudimentary form. Last Friday,
| I went along to NESTA for what was billed
| as an âOpen Hardware Campâ. Fortunately, I
| didn't see any tents, since that's not
| really my kind of thing; what I did see
| was a huge amount of enthusiasm, and some
| interesting hints of things to come.
