[Chapter-delegates] Open Source and Open Hardware

[Babar Zahoor]

Sorry for incomplete message.

Rightly said by Augustine!

By moving towards this direction we can give inexpensive technology
 (Software + Hardware) to people in the world. There many issues in
developing countries but the access to expensive technologies is also a
very common issue.
The question is how we can make a movement to provide information about
Open Source and Open Hardware to people in the developing countries.

Again "Equal access to technology for everyone" is important for us.

Best regards,
Babar
