Description:	Whether you believe we are entering the "post PC era" or not, it should be clear that major changes are afoot in computing devices. Those changes will continue to disrupt numerous long standing computing patterns, and change or remove many of the technical boundaries that have existed.  Open Source professionals should have some understanding of the forces at work so that they can understand those changes in order to seize the opportunities and understand the threats these changes will bring.  At the same time, hardware has always been the eyes, ears, and feet of computing devices, and now customizing those devices is easier than it has ever been. The speaker will talk about the importance of openness in hardware, and why dramatic changes in both technology (arduino, 3D printers) and global supply chains (China, alibaba.com, kickstarter) create brand new never-before-seen entrepreneurial opportunities for hardware hackers. And why such opportunities are not confined just to prototyping, but to bringing products all the way to the market.   markdown
