This is an admirable project, and I one I support. However, it's important to note that '''the issue with open source in an enterprise environment, is that there is no one to blame when things, inevitably, break or are misconfigured. The blame falls on only you, not a vendor.'''
Literally the reason my former VP of IT gave me that the CEO gave him.

Commercial support exists for opensource too so its just a misunderstanding of it.

Because clearly blaming corporations for the ongoing climate apocalypse is going super well! They really care! And they are super sorry!

I've been watching this project for like 10 years now probably. Keep returning there for blueprints of something relevant, but it's either too immature or something that does not fit my setup. I think they are too unified and their scope is unrealistically broad for the group, while contributing remotely is not realistic. Their house would not work in my climate, their tractor is worse than random assembly from junk you can randomly find. Their aluminium electroliser is soft sci fi.
But it is certainly cool project.
I just think we need more specialised open hw projects and keep exchanging links to them.
