WHAT IS OSHW?
Open source hardware is hardware whose design is made publicly
available so that anyone can study, modify, distribute, make, and
sell the design or hardware based on that design.
CAD files are the source not PDF not JPG pictures! Free for
download no logins, no registrations to access them!
No CAD No Open Source

How it Started?
Inspired by Embedded World, February 2012, after almost 1 year
of waiting RPi foundation show the only two boards they had
produced ...These who ordered later had to wait 16 weeks for
delivery...
Why not design similar board and open source it, so every one
could make his own Linux computer at home?
