[pp.int.general] Open Source Hardware Project

[Glenn Kerbein]

In regards to the Open Hardware idea, there are a few projects that have
already done this sort of thing.
Namely the OpenMoko portable media phone/device is completely open;
everything from the source down to the hardware specifcations. The Google
Android sort of accomplishes this, but it is not completely open, only the
software is.
The OLPC is almost completely open, the only hardware portion that is open
is their power adapter.

There's also coreboot, which replaces most hardware vendor's BIOS with an
open source one.
