Hi Ryan,

I don't think that issue has really been covered,

clearly, diy manufacturing is still an edge activity for the moment, but as
I tried to argue in my infrastuctural posts

see
http://blog.p2pfoundation.net/open-design-communities-entrepreneurial-coalitions-and-the-partner-state/2009/09/04,
and the mindmap/prezi visualization of it:
http://blog.p2pfoundation.net/open-everything-mindmap-and-visualization/2009/09/08

they are in my view the seedform for the distributing manufacturing models
of the future ...

Sam makes the point that the new manufacturing will much less compete with
the old models, as first find its own niches where it can do things
differently,

I think for me it is a practical and experimental matter, once the crises
(peak oil, warming, resource depletion) start piling up, and one particular
project or industry shows success, many others will start to follow the new
model.

I guess the Arduino community and production is the only mature model right
now, but again, it's a peripheral group for the moment,

the general conditions are of course, availability of extra expertise that
can be mobilized, low tresholds for physical production and the availability
of distributed machinery,

Michel
