Not the first time I heard that comment...
- robertfw 12y agoReally sad to hear that the project has gone down the tubes. It was one of the most exciting open source hardware projects I've ever seen. I think something like this is vital, and I hope that someone is able to pick up where OSE left off.
- dredmorbius 12y agoOpen source movements, particularly in hardware, are difficult. No reason to abandon all hope. Though deciding between doubling down on OSE or launching a new effort is something to come to grips with.
- logfromblammo 12y agoWhich is why I used the weasel words. The OSE project was probably a little too far-reaching and thinly supported to ever be successful at making a holy GECK. But as a build-your-own-Bobcat project, look at how far they got!
