"These are projects that creators have decided to completely publish all the source, schematics, firmware, software, bill of materials, parts list, drawings and "board" files to recreate the hardware - they also allow any use, including commercial. Similar to open source hardware like Linux, but hardware centric."
.. lets build a mesh ..
"The Arduino meets Processing project intends to make it as easy as possible for anyone to explore the world of physical computing."
.. interacting with hardware was never that cool looking .. check for example the 8 Switches project ..
Wikipedia: "Chumby is a consumer product created by Chumby Industries slated to go on sale in November of 2007. It is designed as an Open System, with schematics, PCB layouts and packaging/outerware designs available.
The primary intended use for a Chumby device is to play a set of user-customizable widgets, small Adobe Flash animations that deliver real-time information. The animations also have the ability to control and interact with the low-level hardware, thereby enabling functionality such as smart alarm clocks that bring the hardware out of sleep, and physical user interface features such gesture recognition through squeezing the soft housing."
.. just got one .. probably the coolest open-source hardware / applicance / platform / gadget out there :-) ..
