[Open Design + Hardware] New definition for open design

Fri Oct 23 11:51:02 UTC 2015

This is great -- thanks Tanja and team for sharing it.

Definitely intend to cite in my own research, as I'm currently undertaking
a small genealogy of hacking/making practices over the past decade as part
of my PhD work.

In addition to the usefulness of your more concise definition of what open
design actually is, I also liked the conceptualization of the open design
process as occurring in a series of layers, starting with "listening in",
then "interacting and creating with", and then "sharing with". Nicely helps
form a comprehensive picture of what the practices actually look like in
day-to-day use.

Thanks again -- and for others on this list, would love to see other
papers/reports/writing you've released recently on this front. Would love
to learn from it!

- Kat
