MIT – Tech Model Railroad Club
(late 50‘s)
Hier ist ein Hacker „(...) jemand, der seinen Einfallsreichtum nutzt, um ein
kluges Ergebnis zu erreichen, einen Hack, ohne dies auf den Computer zu
beschränken. Das Wesen eines Hacks ist es, dass er rasch durchgeführt
wird, effektiv ist und unelegant sein kann. Er erreicht das gewünschte Ziel,
ohne die Systemarchitektur, in die er eingebettet ist, komplett umformen zu
müssen, obwohl er oft im Widerspruch zu ihr steht.“ (WIKIPEDIA, HACKER, CC-

‚systems‘ – by STUFF that wants us to do things.

151. Open source hardware is hardware whose
design is made publicly available so that
anyone can study, modify, distribute, make, and
sell the design or hardware based on that
design. The hardware’s source, the design from
which it is made, is available in the preferred
format for making modifications to it. (...) Open
source hardware gives people the freedom to
control their technology while sharing
knowledge and encouraging commerce through
the open exchange of designs.

152. Open Source makes our world
hackable
and therefor:
able to be free & trustable
