Hi! We warmly welcome you to the main repository of the Open Source things initiative

This is a project focused on the design documentation and development of open hardware products. See our intro poster, to get a quick insight on what this is about.

Why open hardware appliances and industrial machines

  • Open access to the knowledge and DNA of goods, services and products, allow us to enjoy social wealth and share responsibility.
  • Having a commons oriented economy where the knowhow is shared as a fundamental right to act for the common good, prosperity and development is a key element in sustainable development. Open hardware empowers consumers, and producers, but also impact makers, local economies and communities.
  • Moreover the free access to the design of things, facilitates their repair, as well as the systematic, organized and collaborative improvement of such design coming from users all over the world.
  • Free/libre software and open source practices has empowered tremendously many people, the same can happen with hardware. It is happening more and more.
