Indeed it is true that the Raspberry Pi is not truly open-source hardware according to the definition, but I include it on my website on the same level as the Arduino for two reasons :</div><div><br></div><div>- On my website the focus is really on the circuits I built for home automation (like how to control a relay) and that are connected to the Raspberry Pi or the Arduino, and these are 100 % open-source hardware as I share everything with the community. I also include your personal computer in a lot of tutorials, and they are far from being open-source :)</div><div><br></div><div>- The second point might be interesting for your round table : the Raspberry Pi itself is getting more and more "open". For example, you can find the complete schematics here:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.raspberrypi.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Raspberry-Pi-Schematics-R1.0.pdf">http://www.raspberrypi.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Raspberry-Pi-Schematics-R1.0.pdf</a></div><div><br></div><div>Recently the video drivers were also made open-source.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div>Marco</div><div><br><div><div>On Jun 10, 2013, at 10:21 AM, Javier Serrano <<a href="mailto:Javier.Serrano@cern.ch">Javier.Serrano@cern.ch</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite">On 06/10/2013 10:00 AM, Marc-Olivier Schwartz wrote:<br><br><blockquote type="cite">I am the owner of open home automation, a website where I share<br>tutorials on home automation systems using open-source hardware. <br></blockquote><br>Hello Marco, very nice website! I am not entitled to answer your<br>question on the OSHW logo, but something in your website caught my<br>attention and I think it's worth discussing: you make it an important<br>point to use Open Source Hardware, and you present (if my quick browsing<br>is not misleading me) Arduino and Raspberry Pi on equal grounds in that<br>respect. To the best of my knowledge, the former is Open Source<br>Hardware, while the latter isn't (and of course there is nothing wrong<br>with that). I am going by the official OSHW definition [1]. Maybe I<br>missed something? This is particularly interesting for me because I will<br>attend an OSHW event this week in which there will be a Rapsberry Pi<br>talk [2] (and an Arduino talk) and I am supposed to co-organize a Round<br>Table discussion at the end. Maybe this would be a good discussion<br>topic, and I am interested in any thoughts the people in this list may<br>have on it.<br><br>Thanks,<br><br>Javier<br><br>[1] <a href="http://www.oshwa.org/definition/">http://www.oshwa.org/definition/</a><br>[2] <a href="http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=238322">http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=238322</a> BTW, you're<br>all welcome to attend!<br>_______________________________________________<br>discuss mailing list<br><a href="mailto:discuss@lists.oshwa.org">discuss@lists.oshwa.org</a><br>http://lists.oshwa.org/listinfo/discuss<br></blockquote></div><br></div></body></html>
