WHY DO OPEN SOURCE HARDWARE
AYAH
ALICIA
NICE WORK
WHY DO OPEN SOURCE HARDWARE
THIS IS NOT HOW
TO RUN A
MULTI-MILLION $
COMPANY
FROM YOUR APARTMENT
WHY DO
OPEN SOURCE
HARDWARE?
LIMOR FRIED
WHY DO OPEN SOURCE HARDWARE
SOFTWARE HAD
A LICENSE
HARDWARE DID NOT
WHY DO OPEN SOURCE HARDWARE
SpokePOV (2003)
Makes pictures in the air with a bicycle
Training wheels, literally!
 Project was intended
 for burning man
 Not for sale at 鍖rst
 Files didnt 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
Couldnt 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 岳鞄庄壊...
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
WHY DO OPEN SOURCE HARDWARE
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 YOUVE 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, weve extended legal infancy) parents really
have to let go of their children, and acknowledge they dont
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
THANK YOU
