			I think ''open source culture'' covers quite a range. I respect Richard Stallman's vision of protecting the commons, but at heart I am a little more casual. I support the expansive spirit of cooperation as healthy for the minds of the participants.

			I am intrigued by both the social and technical challenges.

	*''How do you think that the GVCS can address pressing world issues?''		*''How do you think that the GVCS can address pressing world issues?''
			I am not sure, partly because I find the GVCS vision somewhat vague, and partly because I suspect the GVCS project will evolve into something different from its original vision. Empowering the "maker" capacities of people is worthwhile, at least as much for the improved life attitudes as for the specific objects created.

			As a designer, I don't see clear guidance on some important types of decisions. For example
			* We envision a village-scale community being pretty self-sufficient, but we must depend on some imports (e.g. integrated circuits, steel tubing). If "foreign content" improves performance, how much of it is acceptable?
			* We envision modular open source designs based on widely available "standard" materials, but we also want to encourage recycling of locally available components (e.g. MultiMachine). What is the basis for leaning towards one or the other paradigm on a particular project?
			* What type of lifetime and user maintenance/diagnostic/repair capacity do we design for?

			I think that documentation is a huge challenge, especially getting documentation fed back into the open source community from distributed "villagers" who have just made an improvement but are short on time, skills, or motivation to document it well.

			The product development tradition I am familiar with involves comparative measurements of performance under controlled conditions. It is hard to ensure comparable controlled conditions in a distributed development model and it will be hugely rewarding "meta-task" to discover how to drive the distributed iterative design process towards steady improvement of a "trunk" design rather than simply growing more and more "branches". This is going to be even harder in the hardware world than in the software world!
