Worlds first Open source Car!



A group of Dutch researchers recently took the wraps off what they claim to be the world's first open source car, rolling out their "c,mm,n" vehicle (pronounced "common") at the AutoRAI car show in Amsterdam for all to see and potentially modify. While it's not clear if that open sourceness extends to the whole thing running on Linux, you will be able to get your hands on the vehicle's complete technical drawings and blueprints, and of course submit your own tweaks and improvements for others to do as they please with. As it currently stands, the car keeps things environmentally-friendly with a hydrogen engine, and apparently lets "c,mm,n" drivers share traffic information with one another, although that would seem to be be a less than effective solution until folks start modding these en masse.

Back at home...


It was midnight, or early morning 12:45AM when i reached home from Bangalore Airport in a prepaid taxi that i took from the airport. It was almost 2AM by the time i showed off all the stuff i got from California and Malaysia, most importantly the Harley-Davidson model bikes and some HotWheels cars and LEGO building sets i got for my nephew, to my parents and then went to bed.
