Dialogue: 0,0:00:01.82,0:00:04.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Um, hello, welcome.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:04.82,0:00:06.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I was just going to kick this off
Dialogue: 0,0:00:06.15,0:00:07.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,by saying big ups to Ayah and Alicia!
Dialogue: 0,0:00:07.97,0:00:15.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[applause]
Dialogue: 0,0:00:15.68,0:00:17.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,OK, so, a really quick introduction.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:17.91,0:00:19.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm Limor Fried, I run Adafruit Industries
Dialogue: 0,0:00:19.91,0:00:21.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which is in downtown Manhatten
Dialogue: 0,0:00:21.83,0:00:23.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so I got to take the 7 here.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:23.85,0:00:25.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And um I've been doing open source hardware
Dialogue: 0,0:00:25.91,0:00:29.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and selling it as part of this business since 2006
Dialogue: 0,0:00:29.35,0:00:30.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I've got really good news
Dialogue: 0,0:00:30.69,0:00:31.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,all of you who've heard me talk
Dialogue: 0,0:00:31.84,0:00:34.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm actually not going to talk about my business.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:34.25,0:00:35.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Um, because Ayah and Alicia said
Dialogue: 0,0:00:35.98,0:00:41.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"hey we want, you know, pragmatic, hobbyist, you know, solutions-based driven stuff"
Dialogue: 0,0:00:41.56,0:00:42.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I was like OK you know I'm not going to
Dialogue: 0,0:00:42.58,0:00:45.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,talk about all the details of shipping, manufacturing
Dialogue: 0,0:00:45.78,0:00:48.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and licensing and all that stuff.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:48.12,0:00:49.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm actually going to talk about
Dialogue: 0,0:00:49.75,0:00:52.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"Why Do Open Source Hardware?"
Dialogue: 0,0:00:52.64,0:00:54.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and specifically why I did open source hardware
Dialogue: 0,0:00:54.80,0:00:56.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and ah, maybe some of the reasons why
Dialogue: 0,0:00:56.29,0:00:58.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you may want to do open source hardware
Dialogue: 0,0:00:58.03,0:01:00.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,if you don't.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:00.13,0:01:02.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Um so OK, so we're going to rewind
Dialogue: 0,0:01:02.30,0:01:04.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,back to 2002 and 2003
Dialogue: 0,0:01:04.47,0:01:06.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we're going to stop at 2006.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:06.26,0:01:09.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So it's all going to be history.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:09.58,0:01:12.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, you know, I grew up in Boston and, uh,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:12.59,0:01:14.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Boston is a bit of a sea of you know, the FSF,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:14.67,0:01:16.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the EFF used to be there too.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:16.58,0:01:19.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So there was a lot of like, you know, Linux-y,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:19.14,0:01:20.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,BSD people hanging out there
Dialogue: 0,0:01:20.79,0:01:21.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I went to MIT.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:21.81,0:01:24.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So there was a culture of open source software.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:24.48,0:01:25.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So it was sort of assumed that if you were
Dialogue: 0,0:01:25.39,0:01:26.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,going to work on something
Dialogue: 0,0:01:26.38,0:01:28.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it would be an open source software project,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:28.12,0:01:29.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you know install Linux, you were running it,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:29.73,0:01:31.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it was totally cool and Microsoft sucked.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:31.60,0:01:35.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And so when I started moving away from doing software
Dialogue: 0,0:01:35.11,0:01:37.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and doing more electronics
Dialogue: 0,0:01:37.11,0:01:38.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,um, there were sort of
Dialogue: 0,0:01:38.30,0:01:40.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I had this uh you know core of like
Dialogue: 0,0:01:40.26,0:01:41.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"oh, open source software is good,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:41.43,0:01:42.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I've seen the good it does."
Dialogue: 0,0:01:42.87,0:01:44.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And so I was definitely inspired by that.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:44.97,0:01:47.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So it's not like I came up with open source hardware
Dialogue: 0,0:01:47.63,0:01:48.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,out of nowhere.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:48.30,0:01:50.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's a derivative of open source software.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:50.69,0:01:53.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And uh what I would do
Dialogue: 0,0:01:53.34,0:01:55.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when I was learning electronics
Dialogue: 0,0:01:55.04,0:01:57.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is that I would release stuff
Dialogue: 0,0:01:57.46,0:01:59.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,like these are some earlier projects that I did
Dialogue: 0,0:01:59.74,0:02:01.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,some development boards and stuff
Dialogue: 0,0:02:01.56,0:02:02.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when I was in school
Dialogue: 0,0:02:02.88,0:02:05.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I would release you know
Dialogue: 0,0:02:05.02,0:02:06.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they would have software and firmware
Dialogue: 0,0:02:06.38,0:02:07.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I would release the software and firmware
Dialogue: 0,0:02:07.69,0:02:11.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,under like GPL or MIT or BSD license or anything
Dialogue: 0,0:02:11.02,0:02:12.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or whatever the popular license of the time was.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:12.70,0:02:14.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But I would put the files up
Dialogue: 0,0:02:14.58,0:02:16.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I would say just ah you know
Dialogue: 0,0:02:16.42,0:02:18.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"these are the Eagle CAD files
Dialogue: 0,0:02:18.07,0:02:18.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and the Grouper files
Dialogue: 0,0:02:18.95,0:02:20.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I guess do what you want with them."
Dialogue: 0,0:02:20.48,0:02:23.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But like the idea that you could even license them
Dialogue: 0,0:02:23.20,0:02:24.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,actually I had no idea
Dialogue: 0,0:02:24.38,0:02:25.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I didn't know about like mass works
Dialogue: 0,0:02:25.96,0:02:28.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or what was copyright or schematic copyright
Dialogue: 0,0:02:28.40,0:02:29.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or is it patented or what?
Dialogue: 0,0:02:29.93,0:02:31.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I just put it up and I said
Dialogue: 0,0:02:31.13,0:02:32.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"you know, whatever, you can enjoy it yourself."
Dialogue: 0,0:02:32.98,0:02:34.100,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So for example
Dialogue: 0,0:02:34.100,0:02:38.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I'm going to go through specific examples of projects
Dialogue: 0,0:02:38.17,0:02:39.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and why I open sourced them
Dialogue: 0,0:02:39.73,0:02:43.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or why I published them.
