[p2p-research] Build It. Share It. Profit. Can Open Source Hardware Work?

[M. Fioretti]

Just seen on Wired:

This is a great example of the kind of "partial" p2p hw production I
recommended to focus on in
http://www.p2pfoundation.net/Thoughts_on_P2P_production_and_deployment_of_physical_objects

that is "don't feel sad if p2p manufacturing of microelectronic ICs at
home is out of the question in the foreseable future: focus instead on
all the great things you can already do/have done by sending orders to
centralized, old style plants which assemble, according to your
instructions components made in anti-p2p ways".
