Wikipedia articles
- Open source
- See Open design and Open source hardware for many examples of open collaborative design projects. As this methodology becomes better known and the toolset more powerful then the projects undertaken in this manner will gradually increase in sophistication, capability and impact
- Commons-based peer production
- Gift economy
Some others thinking in the same sphere
- The MIT group behind Thinkcycle (open-source design for underserved communities and the environment) and Instructables which is a website to share step-by-step instructions for building things
- Adrian Bowyer - The RepRap project (an open-source rapid prototyping machine designed to be capable of self-replication)
- Terry Hancock - co-founder of Anansi Spaceworks that is attempting to use open source principles to develop space technology. His eloquent article Towards a free matter economy is well worth reading. Parts: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
- Cameron Sinclair - Architecture for Humanity - applying 'open-source' to humanitarian reconstruction and the built environment
- Zac Apte - DesignBreak - Incubator and host for open design projects. Currently in early stages and not live yet
...and there must be plenty more...
