====== Overview ======
Here is a collection of all the Open Source Hardware projects I've been able to track down
In general, a project must have some electronic component and have at least firmware open. Software doesn't count, sorry!
"Open source" in this case is strictly defined by the OSI [[http://www.opensource.org/docs/osd|Open Source License definition]]. Bizarre and/or restrictive licenses don't count.

**Items in bold are available for sale to the public either assembled or as kits** "Developer only" doesn't count

====== Projects ======
