Oh it's a shame to see this domain (openhardware.org) isn't up anymore. Does anyone know what happened? We have been pretty successful in having free/open software, but it seems there's virtually nothing in the free/open hardware space

- ancarda 6y agoPerhaps it would be possible to send the blueprints to a factory to be manufactured? I don't really know. I think in some ways the same concern exists for software but it's much, much cheaper so you never see it. If you don't want to build the software yourself, you can get a binary that someone has spent compute time to produce, and may be paying money to host and make available to you. Probably the closest equivalent I can think of is you can pay a small fee to get various Linux distributions on CD or DVD. You are paying for a physical product to be made then. Ah, if only we had replicators or very good 3D printers...

Does anyone know what happened? but it seems there's virtually nothing in the free/open hardware space Don't worry, the FOSS hardware scene is alive and well, although not as advanced as software yet. > Does anyone know what happened? It appears that the openhardware.org project has been discontinued in favor of other projects of the same nature, such as oshwa.org.
