Re: Ninux Day 2009

Hello.
I would like to remind you of the Ninux Day 2009 on the next 27-29
November in Rome. We are having a very good feedback from many European
community network members, that are actively participating to the event.
So, don't miss it! :)

Dear Wireless-Mesh folks,

Following the great WBMv2 in Brussels, we wrote a report to be sent to
the wireless communities out-there to give feedbacks and configuration
details of the event.

Please find this report attached and use it for the different
mailing-list related to this topic.

Some folks here will be at Ninux2009 and that was important to release
this report before the next wireless event to get the feedbacks and
prepare the ... WBMv3 and v4 (locations, hardware, people,
configurations...).

Cheers,

Xavier.

OpenHardware - recent updates


Dear fiends and fellows,

as some of you may know, for the past 2 years I have been engaged in trying to get Open Source Hardware off the
groud. Recently I had been at the piksel festival in Bergen, Norway, to continue with the work me and some
other guys had started at http://www.gosh2009.ca about licensing OSH devices.

As I can tell from my own observations and contacts the topic Open Source Hardware is developing more and
more momentum. On the other hand until today there is no applicable way to connect the physical outcome of
free open source designs (the devices and objects) to a copyleft license. 

Though there are many people out there developing Open Source Hardware already, licensing ends with the
digital design artefacts/documents/files. The reason for this is the legal construction of copyleft,
which is - as of course you know - based on copyright laws.

The legal adequate for copyright in the physical world would be patents. But patenting is an expesive,
complicated and time consuming process which is in most cases not suitable for open source hardware
developers. So after many talks with various lawyers in Canada, the US and Europe, we finally seem to have
found a valid way to work arround this problem. The "trick" is a trademark. Please find attached our latest
results on this idea and the process of it's application. [1]

As you can imagine, we would all still be more then happy if we would not have to form another legal entity for
OHANDA, but rather work together with FSF and/or Creative Commons. We would be very pleased - and so would
be most of the open source hardware developers - if the trademark and process were hosted and held by the FSF
and/or CC.

From all the talks that we had in the past, my impression was though, that FSF is very strict about limitting
its interest to free software. And also CC is not really too positive so far to get engaged. Though I can
understand that of course, I think that in the longterm it will only make sense to have a broader view on free
IT infstructures and contents as a whole, including content, sofware, hardware and networking infrastructures.

FW: WE ARE INTERESTED IN YOUR PROJECT - Anyone in Ghana?


Hi folks,

Eric from Ghana has contacted us at freifunk.net. Is there anyone in Ghana who could give them an intro into
freifunk.net or likewise firmware and community approach?

Thx and greets!

Re: OpenHardware - recent updates

Hi Juergen

I began writing some thoughts before reading through the pdf.. doh!

that looks to be about it! wow great work done there.

regards FSF and CC yes they should be proactive but you
could also expect some support from design and production industries 
from around the world for this evolutionary step in creative production 
which has parity with the creative license and free software 
realisations of these recent years.

what do you estimate the set up costs for the trademark?

I would be keen to hear reactions from the many open hardware projects 
you have listed there on the gosh wiki.

top notch

thanks for the cake!

James
