To clarify, since I've seen some confused people: Glasgow is an open hardware project started by @whitequark and run by volunteers, and @1bitsquared is our first volume manufacturer offering it to the public. @esden put a *ton* of work into productionizing it.

Anyone is free to contribute and, of course, to manufacture it or derivative versions. Manufacturers are responsible for end-user hardware support, and they are welcome and encouraged to work with upstream for any changes and contribute back improvements, as
@esden did :)2 replies 4 retweets 32 likesShow this thread -
This is one of several common open hardware models; sometimes the people starting/running the project also do manufacturing, and sometimes others join in specifically to do that and offer it to the public. Personally, I'm glad I don't have to deal with the logistics myself!

Incidentally, I see a low-cost Mac/iDevice Type-C UART interface cable/adapter design in the horizon on the
@AsahiLinux GitHub, and I expect some people will actually want one; I can do O(10) volumes myself, but any takers if there's more demand? Will have other uses too.4 replies 3 retweets 40 likesShow this thread -
Replying to @marcan42 @AsahiLinux
Absolutely! I’d love to get my hands on a UART cable! How much?

No clue, but if I had to pull a number out of my ass, maybe $35 if someone makes them in volume?
