Manufacturing and selling hardware is a proven business practice but proprietary is the default setting.

It will also cover methods for leveraging the community to turn consumers into collaborative product development partners. Embracing open source hardware as a business can be a powerful driver for success. Presented live at FITC Amsterdam 2014 on Feb 24-25, 2014 More details can be found at www.FITC.ca
