Andrew Huang was one of the engineers behind the open source Chubby. He has considerable experience with outsourced manufacturing in china and I thought this post would be helpful for anyone doing outsourced hardware.
His "Made in China" category: http://www.bunniestudios.com/blog/?cat=7 http://www.bunniestudios.com/blog/?cat=7 is also a fantastic read. It is rare to see inside the factories that make all our gadgets so I am thankful he took the time to document so much as he did.
- mr_luc 14y agoThanks for sharing this - it's got me fascinated, especially since I'm doing a hardware project at the moment. Highly recommend for other HNers.
- georgemcbay 14y ago"Andrew Huang was one of the engineers behind the open source Chubby." chumby, but close enough! Not the first time someone has called them Chubbys, sometimes intentionally... there was lots of snickering about the 'Chubby 8"' product. Also, I've never heard anyone call bunnie Andrew, even in real life. (Source: I worked at chumby).
- Danieru 14y agoSorry! I always thought the thing was chubby. The name made sense in my head as the mascot octopus is a bit gooey. I was not sure if I could call him Bunnie since I thought that was a nickname. Is there a chance Bunnie is not pronounced "bunny"? I think there is a chance I may not be very good with reading words.
- georgemcbay 14y agoIt is pronounced the same as bunny (as in the killer rabbit from Monty Python & The Holy Grail) and it is technically a nickname, but I've never heard anyone call him anything other than bunnie even in a work setting.
