Glad to meet you, too, Peter!

Thank you very much for the Fab9 symposium and the research track info.
At the moment, I am trying to look as wide as possible. :)
Open hardware, certainly! :)
It was tight, but something has been submitted to the research track, too.

I apologize for not responding earlier,

Alex

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.
