Open source and hippies pretty much go hand-in-hand:
*Sharing
*Freedom
*People with long dirty hair

Why is it called open "source?"luckywaldo7 wrote:Open source and hippies pretty much go hand-in-hand:

That part I don't get
To me it was always "open source" with the implication being the source refers to CODE

Just like Settlers (Anno) but IRL!A modern, comfortable lifestyle relies on a variety of efficient Industrial Machines. If you eat bread, you rely on an Agricultural Combine. If you live in a wood house, you rely on a Sawmill. Each of these machines relies on other machines in order for it to exist. If you distill this complex web of interdependent machines into a reproduceable, simple, closed-loop system, you get these:

Their explanation:
That said, these guys are definitely doing some very cool things, although it has nothing to do with the free software movement.
Maybe they should have dropped the "source." I don't see any code involved, but it's certainly an "open" project.Open Source- we freely publish our 3d designs, schematics, instructional videos, budgets, and product manuals on our open source wiki and we harness open collaboration with contributors.

Re: Open source ecology WTF?
when referring to code "source" is already a bastardisation isn't it?
Re: Open source ecology WTF?
Not really. What's wrong with "source code?"
Re: Open source ecology WTF?
Nothing wrong with it, just that language changes based on popularly understood meaning. Is the "source" of a computer program, the programmer who wrote it, the place you got it from or the written code?
Given the understood meaning of "open source", I think "open-source hardware" works too. I'm sure Richard Stallman would disagree though..

Re: Open source ecology WTF?
i guess "source" can also mean construction plans, circuit diagram and generally instructions how to make stuff. And it is "open" because usually you do not get the CAD files if you buy a car.

Curse those stoned, drug taken flower huggers. A real man eats like a dinosaur, fucks like a ape and codes in his closet. Thats what beeing open sauce was always all about, growing mushrooms.

.. not that i would care about this matter, for real.
edit:
i like this project a lot!
i am sure that some fork of it will be used by the first humans on mars.

It's most likely because farmers, engineers, and supporters are involved. When they say source, they must mean human resources. I bet they also used that term to make it sound technologically advanced.smoth wrote:Why is it called open "source?"luckywaldo7 wrote:Open source and hippies pretty much go hand-in-hand:

Re: Open source ecology WTF?
I didn't even blink. Old news taking a techie term and using it to market something unrelated. "High Definition" sunglasses. "Nanotechnology" diet pills. "Google" Frog.
Re: Open source ecology WTF?
They mean the instructions to build somethign. "source code" originally meant the instructions for a compiler to build a program ("source" doesn't really fit any more since scripting and interpretters).Panda wrote:When they say source, they must mean human resources.
