How to create a business around offering an infrastructure for others to
innovate

Open source radio, shared workspaces, fabrication laboratories ...
commons-based peer-production is making its way into all and any areas of
society. Many of these initiatives provide shared infrastructures, and as
their number grows so does the demand for sustainable business models for
maintaining these infrastructures. In software, Open Source has resulted in
profitable business, increased innovation, peer-production and more choice
for businesses and consumers. While there are tried and tested business
models for open source software development it is still a big adventure to
transfer these models to the physical realm. This course aims to equip the
daring who embark on this adventure with background theory, practical tools
and an opportunity for peer-supported prototyping.
