Made a submission for James. He's made a good idea for a 10min talk to explain how an open-source project can be spun out into a business, LibreSOC and RED Semiconductor being the main example.

James will create an account and fill in his bio section later.

awesome. when it comes to hardware the key there is you cannot easily be "cloned"
like you can with software, which is actually a sensible business model.

this one i have rejected as the idea of commercialisation of FOSSHW is
well-known and FOSDEM long-time attendees will be puzzled by it.
i have extended the *other* talk so that mention of how and why RED
is the commercialisation of Libre-SOC can be mentioned.
