-\begin{frame}{CERN and openness}
+\begin{frame}{Other perceived benefits}
+	\begin{block}{Motivation and recognition}
+ \begin{itemize}
+	\item Designers prefer collaboration rather than work in isolation.
+	\item Easy to gain a reputation based on one's work.
+	\item Easier hiring.
+	\item Part of the commercial strategy of many companies.
+\end{itemize}
+	\end{block}
+\pause
+	\begin{block}{For small and medium-size companies}
+ \begin{itemize}
+	\item Lower barriers to market.
+        \item Easier to bring in extra talent, even from the client!
+\end{itemize}
+	\end{block}
+\end{frame}
+
+
+\begin{frame}{Perceived issues}
+	\begin{block}{Where does this stop?}
+ \begin{itemize}
+	\item Layers of openness.
+	\item ASIC design slowly becoming more accessible (e.g. lowRISC).
+	\item Commodity hardware not so critical.
+\end{itemize}
+	\end{block}
+\pause
+	\begin{block}{Will I find providers if I specify OSHW?}
+ \begin{itemize}
+	\item For better or worse, it's a free market out there.
+        \item Nothing specific to OSHW.
+\end{itemize}
+	\end{block}
+\end{frame}
+
+
+\begin{frame}{Perceived issues}
+	\begin{block}{The expectation management department}
+ \begin{itemize}
+	\item Can I really control all manufacturing and distribution
+          of an OSHW design I release?
+	\item Comparing apples-to-apples: how much has been invested
+          in a given OSHW solution?
+	\item I published and I did not get any bug fix!
+\end{itemize}
+	\end{block}
+\pause
+	\begin{block}{Will people steal my design and make money off it?}
+ \begin{itemize}
+	\item Yes, even if it's not OSHW (unless it's very complicated
+          and you have a large legal department).
+        \item But hey, Arduino survives! Why?
+\end{itemize}
+	\end{block}
+\end{frame}
+
+
+\begin{frame}{Perceived issues}
+	\begin{block}{I can't afford the initial investment}
+ \begin{itemize}
+	\item OSHW designs are often a show case for a group,
+          institution or company.
+	\item Can't cut corners on quality. Should not be bad in principle.
+	\item May not be adequate given the context. OSHW is not for
+          everyone all the time.
+\end{itemize}
+	\end{block}
+\end{frame}
+
+\begin{frame}{Recipes for success}
+	\begin{block}{Common sense!}
+ \begin{itemize}
+	\item Identify the problem that needs solving, prepare plan,
+          get good team, track progress, document\ldot
+	\item Nothing OSHW-specific here.
+\end{itemize}
+	\end{block}
+\pause
+	\begin{block}{Enlarge your scope}
+ \begin{itemize}
+	\item Use standards.
+        \item Be flexible if you want to attract talent.
+\end{itemize}
+	\end{block}
+\pause
+	\begin{block}{Choose good partners}
+          Your interests do not need to align completely, just enough
+          to walk a part of the path together.

+	\item Not always easy.
+\end{itemize}

+\pause
+	\begin{block}{Can be ``tractor'' institutions}
+ \begin{itemize}
+	\item For cases where small companies can't afford the initial
+          investment.
+        \item Also with their procurement hat.

+\begin{frame}{Issues with ``coopetition''}

+          \begin{itemize}
+            \item OSHW certification.
+            \item HDL simulation and synthesis tools.
