Some quotes we received about the ohwr site and its projects:
My collegaues are already having a long look at
SPEC because it seems to fit
very well into one of our projects. It was a lucky day when I discovered
your website! This story is going to unfold in the future, I am
sure!

... the SVEC and
SPEC modules look like a very
well thought through and put together project - congratulations! I wish
I heard about it sooner. If we have any questions I will not hesitate to
ask you right away.

We have collaborated with the (CERN CO group) during the process of
designing the FMC’s and have benefited greatly from their knowledge and
experience with designing such hardware. Because of this we have also
strived to make our designs as compatible and equal to former FMC
designs by the CO group as possible.

PS: This may be off-topic, but I really love the way SPEC and DIO boards
are designed!! They are robust, clean and visually appealing --
congratulations ;-)

I want to say once more: You really do a fantastic job down there at
CERN and I really think that especially the SPEC project is of great
importance not only in the physics community. Thanks again for all
this to all of you! :-D

Let me express that my feeling is that Open Hardware is really doing an
impact... and it is growing, it allows SMEs to play important roles in
large developments where only large companies were allowed before....
so it is really changing the world (at least our technology development
world), particularly within the scientific field, but is also
penetrating the other industrial areas.

I'm looking into the hdl (of White Rabbit) and it's really impressive
the work that you have done! A milestone achievement of Open Source
(software and hardware)!

*We have learned the importance of "freedom to operate"**, so having
the base/core of White Rabbit open, is in fact a great advantage. In
this sense Javier at CERN is a visionary... (he has done a great impact
on many SMEs in this field, playing now in fields where they were not
allowed before ... which is important in this knowledge based era) and I
think there is still a lot to contribute in this field and new
collaboration and sharing scheme (that has also its own
challenges...)... There are also important differences with respect to
software....
