Jake Read: Introducing an Open Systems Assembly Protocol
Channel: The Open Source Hardware Association
Date: 2022-04-23

A presentation from the 2022 Open Hardware Summit.

The Open Systems Assembly Protocol (OSAP!) is a new approach for the generation and integration of modular, interoperable hardware systems, and a love letter to computer plumbing and hardware heterogeneity. This talk will explore the Peer Production theory that suggests why we need something like it, demo OSAP at work in three different projects, take a small dive through OSAP's technical guts (it's all pipes!), and look forward to the development of a networked, interoperable, and rapidly expanding commons of modular OSHW building blocks and systems.
