Rather than settle for open hardware simply gaining traction organically, I have
been working on projects to help accelerate the uptake (e.g. see <a href="https://www.nae.edu/19582/Bridge/174695.aspx" target="_blank">this issue of the National Academy of Engineering's magazine</a>). My
current project is specifically looking at mechanisms to leverage
government support to grow libre businesses. <br><br>For that I could use some help from you with established businesses with a few questions. Please feel respond to me directly or to the whole list:<br>1. Have you taken advantage of any existing programs at the federal, state or local level e.g. SBIR/STTR etc?<br>2. For development of future OS products what would be your ideal type of government program?<br>3.
Have you had any unique challenges as an OS company that you would like
to see fixed (either for yourself or those companies that come after
you)?<br>4. If you are successful - and if your open to it I would
love to use whatever financial information you would be comfortable
sharing (e.g. price comparison between your products and the closest
proprietary competitors and # of sales to estimate the cost savings for
