Interview: Qi Hardware

| OB: Was Qi Hardware conceptualised from the
| beginning as an Open Source project, and
| could you describe what openness means
| specifically in the case of hardware?
|
| SM: Yes Qi Hardware was conceptualized from
| the start as an Open Source project. The
| founders of Qi have spent the last 2 years
| working together at Openmoko on the open
| phone project so the benefits and
| challenges of open source are well know to
| us. On the hardware side we are going to
| create a new kind of hardware, CopyLeft
| hardware. Today you can join as a Qi
| developer and get access to the hardware
| design files as well as participate in
| creating the roadmap.

Bob Sutor On Advice For Open Source Startups
,----[ Quote ]
| IBM's Bob Sutor has a good post up
| discussing advice for those who want to
| start an open source business. There are
| more and more open source startups
| arriving, but Sutor says "I've been very
| surprised as I've looked around the web
| that there don't seem to be very many good
| guides about the nuts and bolts of starting
| an open source business." He lists seven
| pieces of advice for those who have an open
| source business in the works, and here are
| some of our posts that can help you follow
| the advice.
