What’s covered:
Freedom Software for DIYers & Makers
————————————-[1] As those who build stuff, what are we optimising for?
Speed, Cost, Opportunity, Novelty, Convenience?What the 1st and 2nd order side-effects of our choices?
[2] Why choose free / libre software?
Where do make such choices?
Development computers, servers, embedded hardware, single-board computers, micro-controllers[3] The role of the community in what how we learn and what we build
What are our barriers to working in a community?
What do we draw from it?
How do we contribute to it (if at all)?[4] Let’s consider free software that we can use on our computers:
– gnu/linux
– prototyping and design tools
– kicad, freecad, fritzing, inkscape
– machine control tools
– cncjs, klipper, linuxcnc
– tools for collaboration and documentation[5] How do we choose our hardware platforms?
Let us optimise for our freedom to use, learn, build, modify and share.
Now – what platforms are available at our disposal?– liberated hardware
– development boardsproprietary hardware v/s proprietary software – what gives us more freedom? how do we evaluate our trade-offs?
[6] What software does our hardware connect to over the network?
Where does this software reside? Who controls it?What do we have to do if we want to be the ones in control?
Why is this control important?[7] Let’s look at our side effects!
Freedom of the users of our products
– accessing source code
– rebuilding and flashing source code
– extending hardware
– repurposing the software
– porting softwareHow can users be free if the server is non-free?
Is it possible to replace the server software without replacing the device or the device software?Are there standards-based protocols in use? Why not?
[8] What are licenses?
How do they govern what we can use/re-use and in what way?
When do licenses come into effect? What do they cover?[9] Small volume prototyping and manufacturing – as DIYers and makers
[10] Putting it all together… developing products that respect the freedom of every stake holder:
– the developer
– the owner
– the user
– the business
– the investor too!
