Definition of DiDIY (Digital DIY)
● a social, NOT technical phenomenon, based on
– Much easier and cheaper production of all sorts of“products”, including “unique” ones
– accessible knowledge
● DiDIY empowers people to:
– do things that they could have never done otherwise, e.g "sculpting" without using
one’s hands
– build things together, through open online communities
● Its greatest «enemies» are NOT technical limits, as much as legal, social
and political barriers

Summary: DiDIY...
● Makes «personal» manufacturing much easier and
cheaper
● Gives potentially to everybody the freedom to:
– Own (only) what they really need
– Create spare parts for what they already own
– Reduce pollution
– Share all these benefits with everybody else

So, if...
● Freedom is good, and...
● Digital DIY gives more people more freedom...
● So Digital DIY is good, right?

WAIT!
● Freedom is good
● But people are dangerous
● What can/must happen when DiDIY becomes
commonplace, and goes outside the personal sphere?

Goals of the DiDIY Project
● DiDIY can lead to deep changes in the roles and relations among individuals,
organizations, and society, with both opportunities and threats
● The H2020 DiDIY Project studies these scenarios, and all their
long term implications for European society
● The deliverables of the project, which will end in June 2017, will include
guidelines, for EU educators and policy makers, about how to deal with
DiDIY and maximize its positive impacts on society.

First DiDIY results, main issues
● Rigorous definition of the phenomenon:– DiDIY Knowledge Framework
– DiDIY Vocabulary
● Overviews of legal/regulatory issues – reports on
– Consumer safety, consumer protection, product liability…
– Intellectual property, Right to Repair, “personal use” of digital designs…
– Creativity, education, organization and work
● June 2017: final guidelines for EU educators and policy makers,about how to deal with DiDIY and maximize its positive impacts on society

Towards the DiDIY guidelines:integrative mathematical models
● extend and complement qualitative analyses and descriptions
● open and highly reusable
● Average wealth without (left) and with plan sharing (right).

Towards the DiDIY guidelines:DiDIY Policy Patterns
●http://didiy.referata.com:A repository of “policy patterns”:● short descriptions of a solution to a particular problem (along with other
helpful information)
● others can freely adopt and reusethe patterns to their own needs and
situation
● we invite everybody who is interested to add their own patterns, and refine
existing ones
