The Open Source Gift Guide

My friend Phillip Torrone, senior editor of Make Magazine, just posted a really awesome Open Source Gift Guide. This is a great place to start your search if you hunting around for that perfect gift for fellow open source geeks.

There are hundreds of gift guides this holiday season filled with junk you can buy – but a lot of time you actually don’t own it, you can’t improve upon it, you can’t share it or make it better, you certainly can’t post the plans, schematics and source code either. We want to change that, we’ve put together our picks of interesting open source hardware projects, open source software, services and things that have the Maker-spirit of open source. Some are kits, some are open software projects that you’ll need to build hardware for before gifting, and some are just support for the projects/groups that do open source.
