Hey folks,<br>
<br>
after reading several posts about the crap backpanel I came to the idea<br></div>
to ask the community for a redesign ...<br></blockquote></div></div></blockquote><div><br><snip><br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left:1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204);margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;padding-left:1ex">

Maybe Nokia is interessted in it and will provide us with the drawings<br>
to start from. This way <a href="http://maemo.org" target="_blank">maemo.org</a> would expand to maintain<br></div>

<br>I think it would be a wonderful good-will offering to the open source community to share some of their hardware designs with us, too! This one isn't really a big deal, is it? Nothing super-proprietary or secret?<br>
<br>Last year, the Maemo division was formed to handle both software AND hardware for Maemo devices. Can we start to see some opening up of the hardware side, now, too? <br><br>Please?<br> <br></div></div><br></blockquote>
<div><br></div><div>There are issues like competition in accessory markets. So the main question is, will the original model leak to internet for public access? Giving an exact 3d-model to sweat shops is a bit like doing ~15 hours charity work for them (14 hours is an old magical number for design duration per part). One cnc -machiner with 3d-model creates a program for moulds in a hour or two, machine does its work overnight.</div>
<div><br></div><div>But it is up Nokia to decide if the risk is worth the reward.</div><div><br></div><div>Any way I am doing my work mostly with solidworks (soon 2010 -version) and if this gets started, I can help too.</div>
