The idea of open-source hardware is slowly slowly but surely gaining traction. VIA Technologies, Inc., joined in on the fun today by unveiling an open source reference platform for low power notebooks, based on its own processor technology (obviously). The CAD files have been released under a Creative Commons license. The machine is tentatively named OpenBook.

They really need to get the Via Isaiah chip out soon; I haven't seen a single POSITIVE review of Via chips in the popular press (the HP 2133's ratings have suffered due to the C7 being slow). They need a better chip, fast.
