The development technique for developing open source products at Factor e Farm is called open engineering. This is an integrative research and development process that requires generalists rather than specialists to perform. The reason is that ecological technology creation requires the synthesis of disconnected technological pieces into working wholes. The integration requires wholistic thinking, and specialists can be tapped for the details. The most important feature of open engineerins is integration.
The goal of for open engineering is to open-source various technologies, for an accompanying increase in transparency, usability, and modifiability, and correspondingly lower production and maintenance costs as the uses gains more ability to control the given technology. As such, the technological elite no longer control the technology - and therefore your life - as users gain DIY and personal fabrication access to technologies.
