A design pattern is often posed as a question: how do we solve some design problem? However a design problem is, by its nature, nonspecific, and rarely has a single straight-forward answer. There might be several ways to solve the same problem, some better than others depending on the specific situation and the specific context of the problem. A design pattern is intended to share not just solutions but a better understanding of both the problem and how it might be solved. Firstly, patterns have a well-defined structure. This consistent layout makes it easy to browse through a collection of patterns to find relevant help and then dive further into the material. The structure encourages the author of the pattern to think carefully about the knowledge they're sharing, whilst making the material more consistently accessible to a reader.

How open source has changed the hardware environment
While open source software is a relatively well-known concept by comparisons, the idea of open source hardware isn’t quite as publicized. In fact, few people are aware that there are quite a few organizations offering open source hardware, which meansthey have made all information pertaining to their products freely available, including designs and schematics, bill of materials information, and printed circuit board layout data. Generally, open source software is used in the original design, which provides evenmore benefits.
The driving ideology behind open source hardware is that anyone should have the freedom to:
• Use the device for any purpose.
• Study how it works and make any changes.
• Redistribute the design of the device and the device itself.
• Enhance the design as well as the device and make those improvements freely available to the public so all can benefit.

It's what makes computers and smartphones and tablets (and these days, for that matter, cars, televisions, and microwave ovens) actually do things. Without it, your computer or other device is simply a case with nice buttons and lights.
