The period of high hope in open source, from the early 2000s (2003 - Sparkfun, 2004- RepRap, 2004- OSE, Arduino - 2005, etc) which ended in the sellout of Makerbot and other appropriations of the commons. This marked the temporary end of the promise of the Zero Marginal Cost Society, where the true Third Industrial Revolution is yet to happen. Note that Jeremy Rifkin is claiming modest success, though none of the efforts that he is involved in appear to be authentic in the sense of the technical definition of Open Source in hardware.
