Ryan Vinyard OSCON 2014 Keynote: "Open Manufacturing..." - YouTube

From OSCON 2014: Ryan Vinyard's keynote talk, "Open manufacturing: Bringing Open Hardware Beyond 3D Printing." Open source design has been a recent trend in hardware, but it tends to be limited to open libraries of 3D-printable parts. These are geared at makers, artists, hobbyists, and whoever else really wants to print their own figurines, not necessarily the engineering community.

On Open Source, Open Hardware and Open Manufacturing | HUM ... | Peer2Politics | Scoop.it

The term Open Source refers primarily to software development, as ‘the result of a collaborative effort of different people, following diverging personal or collective agendas when participating in this process’.1 The engagement in such procedure is not necessarily connected to a financial gain reward, but could also aspire to peer recognition and aesthetic pleasure or could derive from a particular sociopolitical belief. The advantages characterizing the open–source development structure are numerous and point towards a direction where the production of software is horizontal and the algorithm maintains its transparency, meaning that it is clean of any hidden features that promote external goals. Open–source software represents a GNU–license model of ownership and, distinguished for its originality, it has already influenced, not only the process of software development and its licensing structure, but also the design community that uses, modifies and re–distributes it

Making Local Production Work: Sustainable Models for Open Manufacturing

What does it mean to build a new production process that is decentralized, local and open for everyone? How will this new form of production (from supply chain to workers, from facilities to infrastructures) emerge? What are the major signs that this will be possible? And the major constraints? These are some of the questions we'll try to answer with this panel.
