On episode 9, we discus the very new Open Source Hardware Defintion 1.0, the Do-It-Yourself (DIY) movement,
and how a definition is different than a license. As you’ll soon learn, the hardware world sufficently
different from software such that it requires a distinct stragery. Still, the success and failures of open
source software have been taken a lessons learned as hackers and companies around the world pool together
in this experiment in freedom.
Today’s hosts include:
- Ayah Bdeir (special guest)
- Alica Gibb (special guest)

technology. Ayah lives and works between Beirut and New York.
Alicia Gibb is a researcher and rapid prototyper at Bug Labs (http://www.buglabs.net). When she’s not
doing research on the crossroads of open technology and innovation, she’s prototyping artwork that blinks,
twitches, and might even be tasty to eat. She is a catalyst in the open hardware movement, and co-chaired
the first Open Hardware Summit in the fall of 2010. At Bug Labs she runs the academic research program
and the Test Kitchen, an open R&D Lab, her current project is an NSF funded project to make a device for
