Open-Source Hardware is emerging as a new means of production and another iteration of the growing DIY trend. Open-source hardware developers carefully document how to make their piece of hardware and release all the information needed to make it, including CAD drawings, schematics, parts lists, and information about where to buy the supplies. It is released under a creative commons license.
Limor Fried is leading the way in the open-source hardware movement. She and Phil Torrone, Senior Editor of Make Magazine held court to a packed ballroom at the recent SXSWi in Austin, Texas. Limor’s passion for this new DIY open-source means of production was evident. She and Phil want to take the paradigm of open-source software and find out how to make things out of it.
Limor has her own open-source hardware company Adafruit Industries where she sells DIY kits for her open-source hardware creations.
