Open Hardware Project

From Knowledge76

Overview

The Open Hardware Project is an effort to provide transparency to buyers and users of computers. In doing so, System 76 constantly improves the systems it delivers much in the same manner that open source software is constantly improved by its users.

Open Hardware Project Principles

• Hardware specifications should be open and available to the public
• Developers should have the ability to write their own drivers
• Users can determine exactly what components are in their computers
• Users can use the same components and ideas to build their own computer
• Users can improve systems by suggesting better or different hardware
