[Discuss] Favorite OSHW Linux computers?

[alicia]

This type of stuff is actually all laid out in the Best Practices
<http://www.oshwa.org/sharing-best-practices/> of Open Source Hardware:

Ideally, your open-source hardware project would be designed using a free
and open-source software application, to maximize the ability of others to
view and edit it. For better or worse however, hardware design files are
often created in proprietary programs and stored in proprietary formats. It
is still essential to share these original design files; they constitute
the original “source code” for the hardware. They are the very files that
someone will need in order to contribute changes to a given design.
