RAASCH, CORNELIUS HERSTAAT
http://p2pfoundation.net/Fabbing_Practices
"In Open Design, tangible objects can be
developed in very similar fashion to software;
one could even say that people treat design as
SOURCE CODE to a physical object,
changing the object by changing its source. "

30. EXCERPT FROM “COASE'S PENGUIN, OR
LINUX AND THE NATURE OF THE FIRM”
BY YOCHAI BENKLER
"The advantages of peer production are, then,
improved identification and allocation of
creativity. These advantages appear to have
become salient, because human creativity
itself has become salient. In the domain of
information and culture, production ...
comprises the combination of [these]
preexisting inputs with human creativity..."

41. “Open Design is more than just a
new way to create products. As a
process, and as a culture, open
design also changes relationships
among the people who make, use
and look after things... all our design
decisions, from here on, need to take
[this] into account.”
