Open-source hardware takes baby steps toward the gadget mainstream
,----[ Quote ]
| While there are numerous open-source computer
| and electronics components available today,
| only a handful of complete tech gadgets are
| being developed under an open-source
| philosophy. However, what exactly defines a
| hardware project as being open source remains
| ... well, open.

Open Source Energy Savings
,----[ Quote ]
| Now, following the path of so many other open
| source projects, companies including Red Hat
| and Cycle Computing are transforming Condor
| into a product. Condor allows large numbers
| of computers, whether servers, desktops or
| engineering workstations, to be used as a
| massive high-performance or high-throughput
| computing facility.
|
| "Condor enables open and cost-effective high
| throughput computing to environments scaling
| up to 30,000 processors," says Jason Stowe,
| CEO of Cycle Computing, which offers support
| and management tools for Condor.

Open source camera could pave the way for open source hardware
,----[ Quote ]
| Recently a Techrepublic reader sent me a link to this story from Science Daily
| about a professor (Mark Levoy) of computer science at Stanford who is developing
| an open source camera. The article tells the story of a fledgling program,
| Computational Photography, which researches photography to help improve cameras.
| Mr. Levoy developed the camera so that other computational photographers could
| help improve the software.

Frankencamera is open source, runs on Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Photo scientists at Stanford University have conceived what is probably the
| world's first open-source camera. Their contraption, dubbed the
| Frankencamera, consists of a Nokia N95 mobile phone camera module, circuit
| board, a couple of lenses from Canon and Linux for all the open-source
| goodness.
