[Open Design & Hardware] Introduction: Aleksandar Kovac

[Dr. Peter Troxler]

Hi Alexandar

good to meet you here.  Are you only looking at software developer communities … or is hardware also interesting?

If so there would be a great opportunity to meet some of the hardware guys at the 9th international FabLab workshop and symposium (Fab9) in Yokohama in August this year.  Details at http://fab9jp.com

Particularly interesting could be the research track, to which submission is still open until the 24th … you'll find the call and submission link here: http://www.fab9jp.com/Call_for_Contributions.pdf  (we will also, as a follow-up, publish a special issue of the Journal of Peer Production) … so if that is of interest for you, you are more than welcome to contribute

/ Peter

For the last couple of years I am field-researching designers and designing in open source software development process, hoping to find where, how, and why do designers succeed (and more often than not) fail when collaborating on design solutions in such communities. The idea (loftily said) is to provide designers some kind of heuristics or philosophy that would guide their designing behavior when designing with/within communities and societies both online and offline.
