These are my notes, written in a personal capacity. More about me.
Do we really have a problem?

Why (and how) public institutions should release more of their hardware designs as Open-Source Hardware
Public institutions could have far more impact on society by sharing their hardware designs as Open Source Hardware. Why this rarely happens today, and what individuals, foundations and governments can do about it.
