WHY DO OPEN SOURCE HARDWARE

AYAH ALICIA NICE WORK

THIS IS NOT HOW TO RUN A MULTI-MILLION $ COMPANY FROM YOUR APARTMENT

WHY DO OPEN SOURCE HARDWARE? LIMOR FRIED

SOFTWARE HAD A LICENSE HARDWARE DID NOT

SpokePOV (2003) Makes pictures in the air with a bicycle

Training wheels, literally! Project was intended for burning man Not for sale at ﬁrst Files didn’t go online - was non-commercial once it was to start “Learned” MCUs on this...

My ex-boyfriend made a closed derivative for sale

Minty MP3 2004 Music in a mint tin

All ears... Another project to learn MCUs Looked at a lot of “available” resources It was a derivative

Clones made and sold

Wave Bubble (2004) Portable cell phone jammer

Culture jamming Thesis project for school Couldn’t sell, it was illegal It had to be published one way or another

I am apparently a terrorist

MiniPOV (2005) Spell words in the air

Persistence of easy Built as a giveaway for my dorm Not “open source” Later offered as a kit, went open source

Security through low value

x0xb0x (2004-2005) “Open source” Roland 303 clone

ALL THE CLONE DESIGNS WERE SECRETIVE SO WE SAID “FUCK THIS”

Breaking even strategy Reverse engineered a broken synth Wrote everything from scratch Not OSHW when release, later made it OSHW

THERE WILL BE ACID TECHNO IN THE YEAR 2050

“Prove you designed this”...

Open source kit business 2006 to present

WHY DO THIS? WHY PUBLISH JUST TO HAVE YOUR DESIGNS LAUGHED AT AND STOLEN ?

CRITIQUES, RIDICULE & THEFT

YOUR PROJECT HERE

WHAT IF SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS? BEING OBSCURE IS THE ENEMY

WTF WERE WE THINKING?

DERIVATIVES MUTANTS MISTAKES TURN YOUR FEAR INTO PRIDE

FULL, PUBLISHED AND FREE FREE AS IN SPEECH IT HELPS OTHERS FOR SURE

OSHW AS A.... A MARKETING TERM? A BUZZ PHRASE?

DO NOT POISON THIS WONDERFUL THING

WORKING ON HARDWARE CAN BE LONELY WITHOUT A COMMUNITY

ALTRUISTIC, CAPITALISTIC, SELF-ABSORBED? WE SHOULD GIVE BECAUSE IT MAKES US BETTER PEOPLE

ONE OF THE BEST THINGS ABOUT OSHW SHARE-ALIKE IS VIRAL

IF YOU’VE CUT OUT A PIECE OF YOUR HEART& GIVEN IT AWAY YOU ARE AWESOME

"Copyright terms were initially 14 years – about the time it took to raise a child to adulthood. After 14 years (or 18 years now, we’ve extended legal infancy) parents really have to let go of their children, and acknowledge they don’t “own” them. In fact they never did. So it is with Art.” NINA PALEY

SO, WHY DO I CREATE OPEN SOURCE HARDWARE?

WE DO OPEN SOURCE HARDWARE TO JOIN A COMMUNITY

WE DO OPEN SOURCE HARDWARE WHAT WE MAKE WILL OUTLAST US

WE DO OPEN SOURCE HARDWARE TO BECOME BETTER ENGINEERS

YOU ALWAYS GET BACK MORE THAN WHAT YOU GIVE
