\n

Last year, along with other members of the Arduino team and colleagues from several other open source hardware makers, I attended the\u00c2\u00a0Open Hardware Summit<\/a> in New York. We began working on a definition and statement of principles for producing open hardware. \u00c2\u00a0The discussion was grounded in our experience running our businesses, and we aimed to capture both the pragmatic realities of open hardware and the best practices in a definition that could help guide companies and individuals trying to work this way.<\/p>\n

We’re happy to announce that after several months of discussion, writing, and debate, version 1.0 of the\u00c2\u00a0open source hardware definition<\/a> and statement of principles has been released. Though many people were involved, praise and credit has to go to Ayah Bdeir, who, along with Alicia Gibb, got the ball rolling, and wrangled a sometimes difficult and opinionated group into consensus. I admire Ayah’s spirit, and her ability to combine diplomacy and brute emotional force to get things done.<\/p>\n

The definition is a good starting point to talk about what open source hardware is, what best practices are, and how the businesses making it work. \u00c2\u00a0My hope is that it will lead to more mainstream adoption of open source hardware practices. Hopefully someday soon we’ll see a major consumer device that’s manufactured using these principles.<\/p>\n

Ayah\u00c2\u00a0writes<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Now, to move forward, please HELP:<\/p>\n

1.\u00c2\u00a0Endorse the definition<\/a>, post your feedback on version 1.0 on the\u00c2\u00a0forum<\/a> and the\u00c2\u00a0mailing list<\/a> as we work towards a 1.1 update in the next few weeks \/ months.<\/p>\n

2.\u00c2\u00a0Take a look at the logos<\/a> we are considering for \u00e2\u20ac\u0153open source hardware\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, give feedback or submit your own logo on the\u00c2\u00a0forum<\/a>, in the thread LOGO.<\/p>\n

3. Show your support of the OSHW Definition by\u00c2\u00a0applying the definition to your work\/project\/website<\/a><\/p>\n

This is a very important step in propelling our movement forward. PLEASE FORWARD FAR AND WIDE.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
