Open Hardware Definition 1.0 Released

Feb 10, 2011

It’s finally here, a document that will help us to define what Open Hardware is, and to spread the idea. Open Software have been around for a long time, Open Hardware is still beginning, but already have a really big community out there, including me. I will add the logo to my next projects for sure!

Now, to move forward, please HELP:

Endorse the definition, post your feedback on version 1.0 on the forum and the mailing list as we work towards a 1.1 update in the next few weeks / months.
Take a look at the logos we are considering for “open source hardware”, give feedback or submit your own logo on the forum, in the thread LOGO.
Show your support of the OSHW Definition by applying the definition to your work/project/website

This is a very important step in propelling our movement forward. PLEASE FORWARD FAR AND WIDE.

ReviewMe is a new service that have a different way for advertisers to show their product, and bloggers to get some extra cash.

But not everyone will make money, because when creating an account and setting your site url, it will analyze things like Technorati rank , Alexa rank and numbers of RSS subscribers to see if you passes the minimum requirements and will set a price for your reviews.
