[SpaceProgram] HSP Proposal: feedback requested

[Huei Ming Tan]

We've been through this before:

*"For its intellectual properties, an open source cloud based knowledge
base for the entire 100YSS organization is planned for, but it is
anticipated that the Hackerspaces would duplicate the knowledge base on a
smaller scale as a local knowledge hub. By embracing the open source
philosophy, all knowledge is open to all while retaining an advantage in
its innovator and skilled personnel cadres with its supporting
infrastructure. A two tiered approach is similarly envisioned for
acquisitions, physical assets and financial holdings. Conversely, any
responsibilities incurred by liabilities to a Hackerspace are to be diluted
and shared by nearby Hackerspaces and supplemented by insurance coverage
depending on the nature of the liability."*
*
*
I think what we would want to replicate here is the success of the Arduino
brand, where the blueprints are completely open source but yet people still
choose to pay a premium to buy Arduino branded products. To do this, it's
self defeating to state that a project within a HS is only to be
exclusively shared within the HSP community because 1) news wouldn't
percolate to the wider world and 2) it's hard to seek crowdsourced input
and attention.

Hope this clarifies!

Warmest regards,
Huei Ming
