[OpenDesign] research on application of open design processes

[Kat Braybrooke]

Hello again Bram and Peter,

As Peter noted, amazing example of serendipity! Both the project Peter
listed and your ideas to create a collaborative (perhaps entirely virtual,
but with physical aspects?) co-working space for designers sound great.

I'd also be interested to hear more examples, if people have them. Am
realising increasingly that the design/hardware/fabbing projects I'm most
fascinated by are those that merge the virtual and physical, crumbling old
boundaries along national lines and creating forms of collaboration that
are new, confusing, fractured - and brilliant.

And re: archives for this list, they are publicly located here :)
