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!

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.

Will I find providers if I specify OSHW?
}
\begin{itemize}
\item
For better or worse, it's a free market out there.

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.

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}

Enlarge your scope
}
\begin{itemize}
\item
Use standards.
\item
Be flexible if you want to attract talent.

OSHW certification.

HDL simulation and synthesis tools.

PCB design tools.

Good licensing schemes for HDL.
