Using OWFa 1.0 for open hardware
David Recordon
Agreement to a set of hardware specifications. When we were looking at
licensing options the OWFa seemed to fit despite being thought of for
software.
Can find the server specifications on http://opencompute.org/servers/
and then we used Creative Commons for the CAD files.
Thanks to everyone involved in drafting the agreement!

Great stuff!

I guess other artefacts, such as circuit diagrams, Gerber, PCB netlist
or routing files necessary to recreate these servers will be on their
way.
It'll be interesting to watch how opencompute handles "patches" and
contributions, something of a challenge for any open hardware project.

Indeed! And thanks to you, David and Facebook for putting these up.
This is great news for the nascent, but important Open Source Hardware
movement*. I'm hopeful OpenComute will be a success for Facebook and
improves the state of the art of the datacentre, which is good for
everyone.
