I'm missing something: where is the source code (design files?) for this "open source hardware"?


They claim they are going to open source it. This is (disappointingly) common practice among "open source" hardware projects. See, for example, most "open source" kickstarters.


Sometimes it's the chipset vendors holding things up, but I agree - it's getting frustrating.

I'm holding out hope for http://www.securifi.com/almondplus


Why would you describe your project as open source if you didn't have the rights to release it as such?

Nothing on that page or their Kickstarter says that Almond+ is meant to be OSH.


Idea: OSHW wall of shame. Quick poll: which existing website would be most likely to volunteer to curate such a page?

edit: OSH --> OSHW

edit: probably http://www.oshwa.org (seems to be down right now)
